Well the first 4XE Wranglers are shipping as I type this, lots of buzz around them, but precious little 1st-hand information on how they will perform out in the world (especially towing).
EPA numbers are out, 22mi on the battery alone + 20mpg avg for the hybrid. It seems to be a winner on short-distance life. Have yet to confirm that it's actual range is better than the Ecodiesel, however.
Reason I post this, Jeep has said they will 'electrify' everything in their fleet so is it safe to assume they'll just stick this 2.0L hybrid deal into the Gladiator? And would it be successful enough for Jeep to stop offering the 3.0L? I saw that GM is going to discontinue the diesel in the Canyon/Colorado.
