Ok, so here's a stupid topic!

Hard PASS, on the concept car... I've never owned a Jeep that gave me GREAT gas mileage, why start now.



Not to derail the thread but I was ambivalent on the Cybertruck until my daughter got one and I got to ride and drive it. It is BY FAR the most advanced automotive technology on wheels out there!!!

The ride is amazingly smooth, and the acceleration is just ridiculous, especially for a beast of that size/weight. Tons of room for luggage and "stuff in the back and the self driving is flawless (better than a human) including in busy traffic in the city with multiple levels of aggressiveness that you can tailor to your needs. It even parks itself when you get to your destination and it will pick you up in front of the door when you are done, all by itself. And it's tops as far as safety of the occupants which is why my daughter and son-in-law bought it since they have two babies to protect.

It's incredibly comfortable with tons of room front and back and my granddaughter LOVES that she can play games on the rear display while we travel. I've been in limos that are not as nice in the rear seat in this truck. As a bonus, the camera's record everyone that comes close to the vehicle and it's a hoot to review all the folks that try looking in through windows etc when the truck is parked anywhere. Remember that next time you get close to one, the truck is watching you....

Quite frankly, if the prices ever come down to the $70k level I'm buying one.

But damn is it ugly!

But damn is it ugly!

My daughter is really pretty. It balances out

A Sports Illustrated swimsuit model is not pretty enough to offset that amount of ugly! I am not a Tesla or EV hater but that thing makes me physically ill!

Just say you don't rally want a Jeep. Fuel milage wasn't very high on my off rood vehicle list.

MPG can be improved, I had an old JC Whitney catalog and ordered a few odds and ends: Fire Injectors--replace your spark plugs with these and see an instant 15% improvement, I then installed a FuelSync Gas Saver that claims a 40 % improvement. I put one of those turbine wheel thingies in the intake and installed a fuel throttle body spacer for another 12 % improvement. The government says to check your tire pressure, low pressures hurt mileage so I boosted my tire psi up to the max 50 psi for another 4% improvement. I used one of the special ceramic coatings that increase laminar flow and dang if I didn't see better MPG from that as well ! I haven't checked the mileage exactly, but I do have to stop every hundred miles or so to drain some gas from the tank to prevent it from overflowing!!!!
