IFS coming in 2029?

[Bbannongmu]

No mention of Gladiator but this Motortrend article states that Independent Front Suspension is coming to Wrangler in 2029. I’ve had and ruined all sorts of IFS setups and I’m not a fan for lifting and off-roading. This might be my last new Jeep. Thoughts??

Who cares it's 4 years away and a lot can change

Thoughts???

Worthless click-drawing article.

I don’t believe it unless I see it on TK’s Garage.

So have I...but they sure do shine when it comes to high speed offroad. No loss to me, even behind the wheel of a Mojave I don't come anywhere near pushing it like I did in my old Tundra.

Funny, most Raptor drivers I see don't have a single scratch on their truck.

I think I would choose the IFS if it was an option, any chance they could do both? Have the rubicon a solid axle and everything else IFS. Or everything a solid axle except for the mojave.

LOL -
"likely"
"most certainly"
"expect"


In other words, they don't know anything. They are speculating.

And - still 404 error.

There's sure a lot of "we think" in that article. All speculation. A lot has changed recently, meaning projecting things planned from 2023 = joke.

I'd bet they've never driven a Wrangler.

So, Jeep/Stellantis is trying to figure out how to "catch up" with Ford, Toyota, and GMC, and floats an idea out via the media. Meh, I think it is just market research

There is no shortage of enthusiasts who state they chose a bronco over a gladiator due to IFS handling on the street or on open dirt roads at higher speeds. For the dollars, I would rather go with an F150 Raptor or Dodge TRX over a bronco for racing around the desert, but, that's me.

IFS could also improve sales for the customers that want the "real" Jeep look, and never ever expect to have the tires touch dirt.
