Cafe has been ruining the american automotive industry. If people wanted these so badly then the market would of evolved on their own. All the automakers are simply chasing government regulations with models like this. Dodge is living proof america didnt want cafe standards they wanted V8s in everything, as dodge was paying so many penalties per car and had to price accodingly, and people were happy to pay said penalties to get what they wanted. Hellcats and supercharged v8s were American icons for almost a decade, getting absolutely deplorable fuel economy, but guess what, its what people wanted. People buy 4xe because its the only way to get v8 power in a wrangler for less than 100, 000 dollars. If only it didnt burn your house down to do it.

Was ready to buy a 24 Gladiator not a Wrangler (though same issue applies)
But Jeep and presumably all of Stellantis collects and sells all of your driving data to insurance companies and there is now way to opt out or otherwise stop it without essentially bricking most of the connectivity of the vehicle, including many/all other legitimate features.
Of course other car companies do this nefarious selling of driving data, but Jeep (and Subaru is another I’m aware of in my shopping/research) gives you no means to simply opt out.
Ford and Toyota also do this (collect/sell) but both give you a one touch option in the infotainment screen or app to opt out.

Your comment on your head hitting the top sound bar. Is somewhat incorrect. The very tops of our seats are not considered headrest there are actually head restraints. While driving, you are actually not supposed to have your head on that part of the seat. It’s supposed to be upright and looking forward. The reason why The head restraint is there is to prevent our heads from snapping back in the event of a collision. That’s why they are supposed to be adjusted accordingly to limit the movement, backwards, of our head.

We loved our 2022 wrangler 4xe,
Death wobble at 2300 miles, was in shop for only 13 days.
Charging port stopped working at 6100 miles, was in shop for 4 days.
No rental for the days in shop.
As a grown adult we made a good choice and traded it in for 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe, lol.
19000 miles so far and only issue we having is the transmission, while slowing down the downshifts feels like we in a 18 wheeler, the sudden jerks, got it checked couple of time but jeep says it's normal.

If you buy one you best hope Jeep/Stellantis is still around to a least the warranty runs out. Hope you're ready to pay over $50k start for the bare-bones Jeep Wrangler 4xe. If you're looking for a couple of steps up be ready to fork out $60-70K. You might be able to get a good deal because Jeeps are piling up on dealer's lots. Then wait until the warranty runs out and your repair bills cause you to have to take another auto loan to get your vehicle out of the shop.

Ford and Toyota put IFS in their offroad SUVs because they know that their customers won't spend their entire ownership period driving offroad. Some of them buy the 4Runner/Land Cruiser and Bronco as a multipurpose vehicle. It's going to be their daily driver/roadtrip car and offroad vehicle. I don't think Jeep expected Wrangler owners to do that since they have the Grand Cherokee which is about as capable offroad.

I think Toyota has the potential to offer a more direct competitor to the Wrangler and Bronco than the 4Runner and Land Cruiser. They've gotten close with the FJ Cruiser in the 2010s, and they've teased a concept based on the 2025 4runner. It's unlikely that they would build something like that, but like the FJ Cruiser, they just might if there's a lot of demand for it.

No, I can’t wait to turn in my lease. Love it if it was reliable and not a potential fire on wheels that you can’t plug in so no benefit than just being a heavier jeep with even worse gas mileage. I can see my gas mileage go down in real time while driving. Oh and I have to park away and not in my garage.

Have a 2021 Rubicon 4xe. Most my trips are less than 25 miles. Which is about what my battery gives me. I plug my in every day, and I get 800 miles to the tank before the computer makes me burn the gas before it goes stale. During the two recalls which don't allow charging I'm getting about 22 mpg.

At 4: 18. Yes. Need approved CAFE. Maybe explain why trucks aren’t included, and talk about compliance cars.
By the way, a formula to figure out own family corporate fuel economy might be interesting.
I’m at 49 mpg, 50 mpg, and 16 mpg. If I add my motor scooters 71 & 74

Wonder what the car folks think is going to happen with Stellantis. Seem to be making a few wrong moves lately, and it’s showing in sales and quality. This isn’t a bash, this is a genuine question: do they have long term options here in NA

Does anyone else see the red dot on the top left 1/4 of the screen lol I keep thinking it's the TV when I watch a video. Anyways, I think the 4xe is the best Wrangler to get. Plus it makes the lease reaaaaaally good deals.

It's fine as long as you don't have issues with it catching on fire sitting in your garage while you sleep and burning your house down. If it isn't burning, its being recalled for some kind of issue. Good luck!

Enjoyed the 4xe as a rental in the south west this spring. Would make for a good lease I think. Ultimately the reliability and overall build quality (door/panel corrosion) give me extreme pause long term.

This thing is awesome if you're shorter than 6ft. I have one at 6ft 4in and it's just too small of a drivers space. I got it as a great lease deal but can't wait to switch back to a RAM 1500

They need to either stop making the 4xe or make it fully electric drive with a gas engine generator/range extender. Make it operate SIMPLY, like trains have proven for years!

Hard top wranglers are still very loud. I have a sahara with the 20 wheels and the bridgestones. Still hard to have a normal volume conversation

Battery way too small and engine too powerful. I have a neighbor who never uses plug - need to prevent this by changing hardware and software.

Good folks I have a 2023 4xe rubicon and it has been a nightmare - maybe I picked the lemon one or maybe they are all just lemonade.
