[Bbannongmu]

Hopefully testing 4.56 and 4.88 factory gears?

Maybe they are testing the new twin-turbo I-6

Ahhh, you took the thought right out of my head! A guy can dream...

This is clearly obvious 1 of 2 things ....

1. Jeep is doing a bunch of stuff to keep the other camp on or off it’s guard. Always make you comp wonder what you are doing, even if it’s nothing. Or

2. Bunch of Jeep dudes told the boss they were going for a lunch and somehow would up traveling cross country. Extended lunch no doubt.

Nothing stands out to me about the black or granite ones, but the red one is a Euro model, or at least has a Euro rear end (tail lights, no trailer plugs, rear fog lights, and something is up with those rear row hooks). It also strangely has mudflaps on only the passenger (right) side.

Ah, that's why I thought Dan Grec’s new JT looked odd from the rear. I noticed his JT has front tow hook covers... Maybe those are rear tow hook covers?

I really hope they come out with an I-6 with forced air. Directly keeps with the engine offerings from Bronco. increase fleet EPA numbers allowing for more fun stuff with 392 vehicles.

What's that device and wire coming from the rear door and mounted to the bed?

Looks like a camera to me.

New power source, but not 4e or 392. Look at the reflection of what is in the bed of the lead Gladiator. Through enlargement and enhancement, it is clear a new power source that will finally have the range and power we want. That will be confirmed when FCA starts publishing 0-88 mph times for the Gladiator. And certainly, with the new power source, Gecko Green will be offered again.

This is what makes time travel possible - the flux capacitor!
Wait a minute Doc. Are you telling me you built a time machine…. out of a Gladiator?

The easiest solution for Jeep would to borrow a powerplant from inside the Stellantis family.

2.9L TT 505/443 is ready and waiting. Detune it slightly for longevity and it'd still be better than anything they have in development.

I can’t wait! I hope it’s something interesting. Btw I wonder with the overland tire wheel setup- if achieving better efficiency is possible with lower gears since the 8soeed tranny has so many overdrives already

If you click between the Mojave, and all other trims, you'll see what the 392 hood, grill cowl etc looks like by clicking back and forth. I don't see the taller hood on any of these.

Morons.

It's jeeps without any Tech.

Because after the Texas power crash and the East Coast fuel supply crash and the Northwes1t heat caused brownouts

...

People realized we should stop innovating when mechanical stuff works.

Instead we should:

Use new tech to solve new problems.

Problems which matter to the future of people.

For example: supplying water throughout the country to refill our reservoirs

For example: example create gigantic air-conditioners to modersteword climate.

Morons.

They've been developing a 3-liter Inline turbo-charged 6. It hasn't been put in a vehicle yet, but it might be coming in the Grand Cherokee next year:

edit:

I'm old and foolish (teetering on "get off my lawn" .. ). I just think that instead of only tinkering with new jeeps the smart people oughta spend their time solving some world problems also.

now,, Lets see what they got under that muleskin. Carry on!
