What's Jeep hinting at by "40.4"

[Free2roam]

I can attest to the fact that the same does not apply to waist size changes!

Got a spare tire you might be carrying around?

I'm hoping its the fuel tank capacity of the new 392 Gladiator. I want my fair share of the carbon foot print. 40.4 gallons at a time! ha.

The result of the changes is an SUV with a 47.4-degree approach angle, 26.7-degree breakover angle, 40.4-degree departure angle, 12.9 inches of ground clearance and the ability to ford through 33.6 inches of water.

Yup, some one had it right here. This was on Fox; https://www.foxnews.com/auto/jeep-ford-bronco-wrangler-xtreme-recon-suv

Yup. I have a pair of Kuhl pants that are about 10 years old. Ordered a new pair in the same size and they don't even come close to fitting.

It’s the new water fording depth. 40 inches of water…

It’s without a doubt referencing the departure angle of the Wrangler Xtreme Recon that comes with “35s” from factory

It’s the departure angle for the new Extreme Recon Wrangler (lift and 35’s). It’s pointing to the rear/departure angle so the guesses regarding power train etc don’t really hold water. Great to see the Jeep community already reaping the benefits of Bronco competition.

It's the screen size of the new infotainment system.

That is an absolute no brainer that's how long the Jeep dealership will have to keep your vehicle to diagnose it before they'll be able to give you a loner
