Has anyone had experience with the 4Xe? Any major issues yall have seen on the trail with that powertrain?

Ya it’s unfortunate, especially when they are not selling so great. They were also filthy, baked in tree droppings (or whatever settles on vehicles when parked under them). Side note: How can you work at a Jeep dealer for more than five years and have no clue about any basic details on the Jeep...

o these are great :LOL:.My other car is a Tesla, and I frequent the Tesla forums (I really need to stop because its not good for my health). You should see some of the hate and stupidity that is spewed if you criticize anything against EVs or Tesla.

Is the Gladiator plagued by the same electrical gremlins found on some of the newer JLs? Im assuming it has the same ESS Pentastar found on the JL. Side note: Went to the dealer to look at a 392, decided id take a look at a couple of the other engine options. 4 of the Jeeps wouldn't start...

I am actually bouncing that idea around. Maybe not a TJ but potentially a JK.

I appreciate all the info and responses.

For those with the 392s, how has your experience been in regards to reliability? I am considering moving out of the 3.6 after several issues (electrical etc..).

Hybrids and plug in hybrids were potentially a good idea 20 years ago... With current tech and charging infrastructure across the majority of the country, BEVs are the far better choice. This big push to sell plug in hybrids leads me to think a lot of these car companies got behind on R&D...

While it can add a little bit of time to a trip, it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. In 200k miles of driving my teslas, I’ve been cross country several times. Usually drive for 2 hours, stop for 10-15 mins to charge. When I drive my Jeep, I end up stopping the same amount of time to...

Have any of y'all driven and/or owned a Tesla? Most American made vehicles on the road today...

Got the bumper and winch installed this week. Installing the rope on the winch turned into a full body workout

Got the jeep back out of service. Dealer said batteries are good. Chalked it up to a PCM update. TSB 18-050-24

Were these from the dealer or did you go with another brand/supplier?

Following. I've been wanting to head up to Rausch and AOAA

I do, although rarely use it from the poor programing.

I am able to disable mine in the settings. Unfortunately, a little yellow light now shows on the instrument cluster indicating it is not operational.

Is the 2-3 year lifespan a new trend with these newer vehicles with ESS? I have't had a gas vehicle in a while so a little rusty. I remember batteries lasting many years beyond that. Of course use-case matters, but getting 6+ years out of a battery use to be a thing.

A lot of states make EV drivers pay an additional fee with yearly registration, regardless of how many miles they drive the vehicle. In NC I pay around $150 a year just because I drive a Tesla, even if I don't drive the vehicle.
