Still f*** no

[BLK HOLE]

Dealer texted me, then texted my wife but used my number.

Lets speak to people like an adult, mmk?

That sounds like something is wrong or heavily modded. Or you drive under yes/no conditions to where the throttle is fully pressed or not all lol. You're experience is not the norm, as an outlier, you don't count :P

4.10 gears, 315/70/17 tires. Recalibrated for tire size. I drive like an old man.

I Have had her for almost 3 months. Mostly local driving - Not on the hwy much. Lucky to hit 14 once in awhile.

Wasnt much better when it was stock. Basically stayed in 14's ... lucky to hit 15 back then.

Plenty of guys in the same boat. Honestly, doesn't really bother me. Went into it expecting shit fuel economy and thats what I got lol

Man, I'm full stock Sport S (Max Tow, so 4.10s too) and I'm averaging 20mpg... I'd be pissed with 14, that's under city mileage.

If my wife hadn't recently traded for her 2021 WK2 and if she wasn't so in love with it, I'd be looking in that direction for her as she LOVES driving past all kinds of gas stations.

My wife happens to be one of those people. She drive 9 or so miles round trip to work. Most of her friends and family are within the 20 mile trip.

Totally off topic but... but.. I have to ask: is the 'my car / her car' really a thing for some married folks? Like, you would never drive 'her' car and 'she never drives my car' thing?

My car / her car just means who picked it out, who primarily drives it, and maybe even who pays for it.

Do you just call everything "ours"? Ignorant single guy asking here.

Not everything but cars? Yeah, both are 'ours' for sure and both are driven / owned / paid for by both of us.

She picked out hers and I picked out mine. We share but I prefer to drive and modify mine and she prefers to drive and try to keep me from modifying hers.

Since about mid 2020 I haven’t found a dealer that answers the phone, let alone calls people back. Maybe this guy is a swinger. Creepy.

For us I have my diesel jt she has her 4xe wrangler WE both have jeeps. She works from home a lot and hers is a lease I drive 1 to 2 hrs a day and we bought mine. We each drive both on occasion depending on need. What’s mine is yours and what yours is mine and if she leaves me what’s mine is really only half mine and what’s hers is …well it’s still hers. Divorce law is gay like that.

my wife says "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine."

not sure if she's joking...

we pretty much drive the JT everywhere. we haven't put 5000 miles on the Audi since we started WFH in April '20.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Eh. The 4xe is for pretty specific people.

My wife happens to be one of those people. She drive 9 or so miles round trip to work. Most of her friends and family are within the 20 mile trip.

We've had her Jeep for close to a year now (got it early summer?) and she had put gas in it maybe 4 times.

She was over 1,000 miles before filling up.
She also cracked a windshield and had to get it replaced before needing gas.

If your commute is more than 20 miles OR you don't put time between trips (to recharge) it is pointless. Not MY type of Jeep.

It IS fun to skinny pedal, honestly.

This is us as well as I work from home and my wife drives 5 miles to her work so we put about 7500 miles a year on our vehicles and thats including traveling about 150 miles to visit our adult son.

One of our Jeeping buddies recently got a 4XE and my wife loves it so we are heading this weekend to look at a couple at our local dealer.

Plus our home is 100% solar powered so the charging is basically free so we think the 4XE will be perfect for us

 

[Deleted member 28696]

Can’t be any worse that the 13 mpg I get in my JT...

13.3 MPG is about what I get mixed highway & local at 5280 ft. Sounds about right.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Well we decided to go check out the 4XE and my dealer just made me an offer I couldn’t refuse so traded in the Gladiator even though we were only half way through our lease. Yeah we love the Firecracker Red

Sounds about right. But her Jeep IS her Jeep. She chose every aspect of it, I only helped explain a couple of options. She is primary driver which is fine as It's a hard vehicle for me to get in and out of, and not as comfortable as mine. But I've always been the type to arrange legal documents and such thing so that if anything ever happened to me she would have no hassle, not have to transfer or fight for anything.
Weird thing, though - because I signed up for the TreadLightly affiliate program and it was in my name, when we bought her Jeep it ended up in my name first. But when we bought my Jeep, she wrote the check and things ended up with her name first. She loves to point out that truck is "technically hers" since her name is first.

Not only no, but hell no. I like being able to still drive when it gets really cold outside. Call me crazy.
