i think people are forgetting that the 4XE is the best selling hybrid in the country they will figure out the problems and fix it just like the other car manufacturers do
I ordered a 2024 Wrangler Rubicon 392 in Bikini Pearl from Military Auto Source (MAS) here in Germany back in Sept. Build date is Dec. 11th and I should have it by Feb. 2024. I opted for the Warn winch and vinyl floor covering. I should have the only one in Europe according to the salesman. I'll definitely be sending in photos to DRC and try to get on as a viewer rig of the video.
So I purchased a 20A 4xe in July of this year. I noticed a few weeks ago that the transmission was wet with oil. After further investigation I determined the case was leaking from above the pan. That coupled with the New recall, I'm not waiting up to 9 months for a new transmission. Dealer happened to have 2 392s on the lot. One 20A AEV and a 24 XR. I made them fix my issue quite quickly and I'm happily driving the 392 XR.
Now on my fourth Jeep and it is a 2021 Sahara high altitude 4xe. The best Jeep I have ever owned and I could never go back to the low power V6. While there have been some minor issues with software updates this vehicle is as close to the perfect Jeep I've ever had. I would never buy the 392 because of its horrible gas mileage. As with any new technology there will be a few issues of which I have had none. As we all know and with my experience with my previous Jeeps they spend a lot of time in the shop. I reluctantly bought my first Jeep because I drive a motor home and Jeep is one of the only decent 4x4s that can be flat towed. If Toyota could be flat towed I never would have purchased my first Jeep, but that being said the 4xE has really impressed me on the trails of Colorado and I'm now a loyal Jeep customer.
Matt, Thanks for bringing the 4Xe problem to my attention! I entered my VIN into the NHTSA website and found my 23 Rubicon is in the clear. A little over 4,000 miles and zero problems…knock on wood! The use case is working out great for us, getting over 600 miles per tank unless we take a trip. Love the ability to control how the electric propulsion is being used on those 50 mile round trips!
thx alote i scaned my vin from this topic and im glad my future sahara 4xe 2024 Fully Load and sky one toutch have no issue at the moment. cant wait get get keys on my hands :P
Thank god I got rid of my 22’ 4xe. I was bummed out about how I had issues with it from literally day one. I loved how the 4xe drove due to the heavier weight and better handling. I had everything I wanted in it, all white, and it being a Rubicon with the potential of better gas mileage 😏. The second day I had it I notice two different fluids leaking under the vehicle, my dealership kept it 3 months due to part shortages. I get it back and drove it 2 more months for it to continue to leak fluid. Finally I was able to drive it a total of 4 months before the whole check engine light/recall/software update debacle. In that time the jeep started to act strange with how it would go in and out of FORM. Also was not told that charging inside would be an issue which it was garage kept and the plug from the charging ended up frying the receptacle (Jeep issue or not, it still happened). In the 8 months I had this Jeep I drove it a total of 4 1/2 months and only 4,000 miles put on it. For me it was a complete nightmare and will never again get a new model year vehicle (lesson learned the hard way).
I turned down my 20a 392 to keep my 4xe, as far as a DD it’s my favorite Jeep. I wish we could get closer to 75-100 miles on full electric but otherwise it’s been great.
The other major downside is that dealerships are saying “parts not ready yet” on the recall. They’re being told Q1 or Q2 2024. Considering they’re saying not to even charge it, that’s a heavy empty battery to haul around when some bought the vehicle for the efficiency. I seriously doubt Jeep compensates the owners for the extra gas used.
I’ve put on 37 tires and with the Grenada kmc rims on my 4xE and many more upgrades and had it over a year and zero problems. It’s been good to me and I don’t spend a cent commuting back and forth to and from work since I have chargers at work
awesome info thanks. my wife has a 2023 4xE Rubicon and has not had any problems so far and I think it is a great wrangler. I also have a 2021 2 door 2.0L sport. Keep making these great videos!!
Can’t agree more. I was game-on to replace my 2020 Oscar Mike 2.0. Started searching available inventory in area (NY) for a 2024 Willy’s 2.0 for 6 months. Biggest inventory I’ve seen in years (maybe build-up in anticipation of strike?) but nearly all 2024 are EV. Extremely limited ICE even in 250 mile range of me. Not opposed to EV but when you can’t compare, frustrating to a point that I am unbelievably looking at other options outside of Jeep. In recent weeks, we have seen other large OEMs begin the inevitable talk pushback on EV transition mandates but not Stellantis. You are correct, it is hurting the brand and maybe in a big way. For a brand with some manufacturing challenges, troubling for sure. On the positive, that video is by far the quickest top removal ever. Keep up the solid content and discussions like these, which I hope will expand your reach.
I've owned 3 JLURs now: 2019 V6, 2022 392 and now 2024 4xE. They were all good in their own ways, but I actually like my 2024 4xe the most. The 392 had some issues (front locker not working, power steering constantly overheating), and the front suspension was weak - it would bottom out if it went off my driveway lol. My 2024 4xe has been perfect so far on my commutes and weekend trails (I run difficult trails). 37's, Mopar lift, winch, the thing is unstoppable. It's wild to be able to run in electric around town with a Jeep on 37s. When you need ICE, it's got great power. The 2024 updates are worth the money - power seats! Side curtain airbags, great infotainment, and the power pack is such a cool feature. Being able to have that much onboard power is often overlooked as a fantastic feature.
Oh sweet great to know my moms car is a ticking time bomb! 😭 (thank you so much for the Tag that was extremely nice of yall can’t wait to see more videos)!
We just leased a brand new 24 4xe on Friday. Tuesday morning my fiance wakes me up that her car won’t start when she’s trying to leave for work. 38 miles on the clock and the 12v battery is stone dead. Was able to charge the 12v and get it driving and it did fine after. But it’s currently at the dealer getting checked out.
I have the Willy’s 2024 4xe with 10,000 hard miles as of yet no recall? And it’s our daily driver and we push it to its limits and that’s easily done since I live in the cascade mountains of Oregon and we just love this thing and we going snow wheeling today in the MT hood national Forest
Jeep needs to cater to the public/buyers. I have a 2006 lj and love it I just bought a 2023 jeep wrangler sport s love it also. I'm glad I was able to test drive both when I buy a vehicle I take it for a long drive so I know it's comfortable for me so how does jeep think people are going to be satisfied with out driving first?
Call jeep an pester them till they give you a rental and take the car till they fix it . They offered me a rental after I called them non stop but by the time they answered I had already traded my car for a used gas gladiator. They would not give me any compensation for any of this . But believe me they will give you a rental if you call them enough times and insist . Hope this helps others .
My dealer here in Maine has 1 new wrangler on their lot, a 4XE, they will not order any for stock, because is not much demand for them . Usually they would have a half dozen or so through the winter.
Jeep is paying for a rental while they figure out the problem , the issue is you have to call them and insist on it. They are not being proactive about it ,and that leaves a lot to be desired honestly . It’s a safety recall and they should be handling it better . I personally sold mine for way lower market value , and got a gas one . I asked jeep for compensation but got nowhere . Their costumer service is all lip service . Too bad for a company that depends so much on loyalty to the brand . They are paying for rental while they fix the issue but you have to pester them and that’s the problem. I see a huge class action in the works and I will happily sign on to it .
I live in Oregon and am having problems finding a 2024 2-Door Sport S. It's absolutely annoying, especially with hard top and any of the packages. Meh!
When I heard about the fire by charging, I have 2024 Wrangler EV got it in August 2023 high Altitude 70.000 lol So I went to a Jeep dealer in West Palm Beach Florida told him about the recall he said did I get a recall letter I said no , look I don’t want the Jeep blowing up outside my house , ok what do we do , he said bring it in tomorrow morning and I did I waited 3 .5 hours they bought it out and said all set and what’s all set your Jeep he said it was a software problem lol no change lol hate to say this but did they really fix the problem if I had a problem with this Jeep it’s March 5 2024 so far so good no problems knock on wood
Went to my local dealership last month for a diesel Wrangler. Found out nobody would sell me one since there's a recall. Instead they kept trying to get me into one of their 50+ 4xe's on the lot. Needless to say, I'm driving around in my new '23 Rubicon 392. Uh huh.
The 4xe is simply not for everyone, although it may be a decent option for many. Having only 4xe available on the lot is a huge red flag - if you have to push that model so hard by limiting availability of the traditional gasser, how good can it really be?
I had a 4xe Grand Cherokee and it was awful. I live in the Phoenix area, and that 4xe system DOES NOT work in the heat. I couldn't drive it in electric mode for like 5 months because it always said 'temporarily unavailable'. I ended up trading it for 3.6 powered Rubicon X.
Ordered a Willys XR from Tuttle Click in Irvine, CA on August 22. Went into D1 status on 10/12, then back to D because of the strike, and just got a new build date of 12/12 earlier this week. Was hoping for pre-new years delivery but unlikely right now.
Everyone over here worried about the 4XE's, meanwhile I still haven't heard anything about a fix for the faulty clutch plate in manual transmissions and 2024 Gladiators still can't be configured on the website.
The pushing of EVs was a problem from the start. Not just for Jeep. All the Jeep dealers near me have loads of 4XEs just sitting on the lots. Taking peoples choice away is criminal.
It does keep people in the dark about their options, so it kind of does, not everyone knows where to look for info or maybe even that others exist if they don't see it on a lot. And for someone that will only buy something after a test drive? Sorry@@charmed0415 but I disagree, I think it really does remove that choice for some customers, even if only by keeping them ignorant of their options.
What about an even greater issue…Jeep not doing a damn thing about the corrosion problem on the JL and JT’s. It will literally affect everyone at some point during their ownership. We dealt with this issue on our ‘19 Rubicon with 20k miles.
After 20 years of Jeep I finally gave up and went Bronco this year. No regrets so far. But I will admit that Bikini Pearl is a boss color (Deep Water Blue is still my all time fav though) but with red seats. Yuck. I would never drive a 4xe. I spent more than a year waiting for them to get a solution for the manual clutch in the JL.
Willys Bikni Manual Trans - Ordered 7/18/23 (right after you guys dropped the bikini news!)... eta... still TBD. Very annoying seeing ATs getting built quickly when MTs have been backed up for so long. Maybe the 4xe getting stopped will make for a Christmas miracle!
Regardless of whether you like electric or fuel I have a JK and agree with the old schools is that the last true Jeep is the Lj/Tj because they still stuck with their military roots. I feel like they are moving away from what made them great and are moving towards more soccer mom vehicles.
Jeep NEEDS to open that up! Don't force 4xe down our throats! That's a great way to lose people! (no hate I own a 4xe) but it's my 3rd Jeep! No do not try to force it, I personally will NEVER buy a vehicle without a drive of one mechanically the same, EVER! gas is not dead yet and trying to make us want 4xe has the opposite effect!
Im so upset just got mine and I had no idea about this! My Willys 4xe and my charge won’t hold and my car only has 300 miles and needs an oil change ?! Like so so upset I was even sold this car!
Thanks for showing the update on the jeep,Gupton got ahold of me today and said it was there and ready to pick up, so now I got to get to Tennessee, so the delivery time was December 1,2023 got in earlier than expected.
I hate that everyone is being so hard on Jeep and the 4xe… Now not you guys Matt but just people in general, GM had a huge issue with there Bolts catching fire and blowing up as well… this is all new territory and technology (especially for Jeep/Stallantis) I’m not looking forward to an all electric world….. ever! Can’t wait for the full reveal on the shop!! As always, keep up the incredible work!! 👍
Jeep Wrangler 4xe 2022 with 19,000 miles fully loaded. Cars been in the dealership twice for horrific death wobble and both times they failed to fixed it completely. New steering bar and 3 months later it completely breaks down and back to death wobble again. AND NOW GET THIS! While driving on the road the car completely shut down while driving, steering locked, and had to come to a stop in a super dangerous situation. The entire car basically is a fried donut. Waiting for the dealer to call us and tell us whats going on. What a turdtastic shit box. Never dealing with a Jeep again.
Yes, we ordered through the AP and Lindsey is amazing! We ordered July 3rd and picked up my Jeep November 24! Loving the SOT , so convenient. We drove 600 miles to pick up my Jeep, turned right back around and drove 600 miles back home. 🥴😴 Thank you for your pg. we get great information from you guys.
Agreed, ordered my 392 SOT from Lindsay on July 10th & got it delivered here in Omaha, NE on 9-26! I was very happy with the ordering process & the speed of delivery.
Fan of the brand, bought three over the years. I'll buy a 4xe when I can get 50-100 miles electric and then use gas. Basically, I want to put around town on electric, then go on long range with gas. 20 miles of electric range doesn't get a roundtrip from suburbs to city.
I bought my Jeep in West Virginia in 2021 I guess I will do that again when I am ready to add the Gladiator since it will have a 4xe model and I assume that will also be the only model available then in PA
i have a 2022 jeep wrangler willy’s edition 4xe and at only 20k miles it stopped working due to stability control issues, been in the shop for 2 months and nothing they do fixes it. and i wanted a new jeep to replace it but i’m scared it’ll happen in any jeep. 😢
I almost bought a 2024 4XE Wrangler Rubicon recently. The reliability issues on the forums gave me pause, then the possible 2025 changes stopped me. If they can get the issues fixed, I want to buy a Jeep. If not, I'm leaning toward Toyota Land Cruiser or next gen Forerunner. I really want to love the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
It's April 24 and my local dodge jeep stalantes dealer has half ev half conventional. There's a bunch of em (jeeps). Maybe the government will bail them out.
I would love to be able to consider a 4xe. But until they can do that in a 2 door, that option is not available to me. I love my 2 doors. I have been driving them since the mid 80's, and my current one is a 2020 2 door rubicon. I can promise I will never drive a 4 door wrangler. So until it is available in a 2 doors, I"m stuck with gas options only.
Someone at Dan Cummins CDJR told me this morning that Bikini Pearl is no longer available. They won't even let me place an order for one. How long was it actually available? A week and a half? It still shows up on the Jeep website, but the salesperson at Dan Cummins told me that Jeep is slow at updating options on their website.
Ordered a 6-spd rubicon back in May and it just hit production yesterday. Looks like things are starting to happen. I just hope interest rates and rebates are good when it's ready for pick up.
At around 2.12 minutes you talk about the new color being sharp. The only "sharp" think in the video was the reflection of the FJ Cruiser in the window.
When the 2024 wrangler came to the market it was know you can only get 3.6 auto trans with the rubicon trim only and all the other trims with the 3.6 was manual and only auto in the 2.0 but right now i start to build a Willys and is letting me choose 3.6 with auto trans, is this a website error or jeep change his mind?
When your in the middle of the desert,or woods , where are you going to charge that thing. ? And, won't it be great,if it doesn't catch fire,or blow up
Not all 4xes are affected by the recall, yet. Let’s be honest though for all the electrification politicization haters… numerous gas vehicles have had fire recalls as well. That being said, giving the customer choice is obviously the best policy. If you have to hit compliance metrics, make all power trains more efficient.
This will be my 2nd recall for the battery lol. I'm not worried because I never plug it in I use the engine to recharge it. But I am waiting for them to add Hurricane I-6 Engine in the Wrangler once they do I"m selling my 4xe
In Canada I am, ordered my Sport S 2D Sept 9th b4 the strike, got a note from dealer they had VIN and sent it 2 me on Nov 9th. Still no date on build and such. Hoping a xmas gift. Love your vids btw!
I didn’t realize that was the rule in PA but I saw it when I was jeep shopping in Northeast PA. Wanted a 2024 Willys, they only had 4xes and some old used wranglers. Having not owned a jeep before and only being able to test drive the 4xe or a used wrangler that was still over 40k, I ended up buying a bronco
I think that the Jeep 4xe is dangerous to the public because unlike Tesla the battery is isolated from the driver compartment. The Jeep's version has a direct port to the battery from inside the vehicle. If the battery leaks any gas is in any way it's going straight into the driver's compartment.
Nice to see the Bikini Pearl pics. We have a 2020 JLU Sport S in Bikini. It is a very nice/unique color. We also have a 2024 Rubicon X in Firecracker Red on order since 8/1 which went to D1 on 11/21. Thanks for all the info you share.
I ordered a 2 door rubicon with a manual transmission back in april. According to the jeep website on november 28th it went into production and on the 29th it was built. Dose that seem right? It takes one day to build after eight months?
Yes. A vehicle goes through he entire assembly process in a very short amount of time. What takes time is getting the parts together ( engine assembled in one factory/ seats are upholstered in another/ body panels painted/ seatbelts, etc, etc) Once all the parts are made and shipped to one location, on the assembly line it's amazing how fast a vehicle comes together. [I have family and friends that work in an assembly plant] There was quite a while with the chip shortage that my friend was paid to sit at home because they didn't have parts.
i think people are forgetting that the 4XE is the best selling hybrid in the country
they will figure out the problems and fix it just like the other car manufacturers do

Awesome, thanks for sharing!
I purchased the 4XE because it was a hybrid. Then the recall says I can’t even plug it in. That is why I bought it.
This is wrong..

my 23 4xe has a blown transmission at 10k miles
Zero issues with my 4xe Rubicon. Tesla, GM and other EVs have had similar recalls. The 4xe is the second most powerful Wrangler.
Thank god I got rid of my 22’ 4xe. I was bummed out about how I had issues with it from literally day one. I loved how the 4xe drove due to the heavier weight and better handling. I had everything I wanted in it, all white, and it being a Rubicon with the potential of better gas mileage 😏.

Toyota 4Runner 👍🏼

Don't forget the on going rear locker issue on Rubicons were the rear axle needs to be completely replaced.
Our post strike 4xE '24 High Altitude is cleared. Wife's new daily driver and all is well.
I just got a Jeep Wrangler 4xE in October I love it but the recall sucks..... I wasn't charging it because 21 miles isn't worth charging.
Has everything been fixed and youre charging it?
Thanks for the 4xE recall heads up. So far I am not included.
same
Aloha Matt. I'm not a great fan of the 4xe Wrangler, but I can't wait for the Hurricane Engine to debut.
Hoping!
ZERO interest in any 4xe model. Hard pass.
Same
Lots around here are full of them no one is buying them.
Same for me too. Did I hear Matt correctly that Jeep is going all ev in '28? No gas engine option?
@@GentleGiantFanall ev option in 2028, ICE still available
Went to my local dealership last month for a diesel Wrangler. Found out nobody would sell me one since there's a recall. Instead they kept trying to get me into one of their 50+ 4xe's on the lot.
Needless to say, I'm driving around in my new '23 Rubicon 392. Uh huh.
Bad move with jeep controlling what models can be ordered , with that said I'm still loving my 4xe
The 4xe is simply not for everyone, although it may be a decent option for many.
Having only 4xe available on the lot is a huge red flag - if you have to push that model so hard by limiting availability of the traditional gasser, how good can it really be?
I had a 4xe Grand Cherokee and it was awful. I live in the Phoenix area, and that 4xe system DOES NOT work in the heat. I couldn't drive it in electric mode for like 5 months because it always said 'temporarily unavailable'. I ended up trading it for 3.6 powered Rubicon X.
Ordered a Willys XR from Tuttle Click in Irvine, CA on August 22. Went into D1 status on 10/12, then back to D because of the strike, and just got a new build date of 12/12 earlier this week. Was hoping for pre-new years delivery but unlikely right now.
On the Jeep website you can’t add the Xtreme Recon “35 inch tire” package to a regular Rubicon…only the Rubicon X. WHY???
Everyone over here worried about the 4XE's, meanwhile I still haven't heard anything about a fix for the faulty clutch plate in manual transmissions and 2024 Gladiators still can't be configured on the website.
I got a 22 4xe and it destroys almost everything on the road.no comparison to the gutless v6.no recalls and no issues with mine.
The pushing of EVs was a problem from the start. Not just for Jeep. All the Jeep dealers near me have loads of 4XEs just sitting on the lots. Taking peoples choice away is criminal.
So put in an order for what you want. Hardly taking your choice away.
It does keep people in the dark about their options, so it kind of does, not everyone knows where to look for info or maybe even that others exist if they don't see it on a lot. And for someone that will only buy something after a test drive? Sorry@@charmed0415 but I disagree, I think it really does remove that choice for some customers, even if only by keeping them ignorant of their options.
how about getting an ecodiesel? ours has been flawless, great mpgs, running 35s no issues
but diesel is significantly more expensive than regular these days, does it balance out in your experience? @@Coyote5555
What about an even greater issue…Jeep not doing a damn thing about the corrosion problem on the JL and JT’s. It will literally affect everyone at some point during their ownership. We dealt with this issue on our ‘19 Rubicon with 20k miles.
After 20 years of Jeep I finally gave up and went Bronco this year. No regrets so far. But I will admit that Bikini Pearl is a boss color (Deep Water Blue is still my all time fav though) but with red seats. Yuck. I would never drive a 4xe. I spent more than a year waiting for them to get a solution for the manual clutch in the JL.
Willys Bikni Manual Trans - Ordered 7/18/23 (right after you guys dropped the bikini news!)... eta... still TBD.
Very annoying seeing ATs getting built quickly when MTs have been backed up for so long. Maybe the 4xe getting stopped will make for a Christmas miracle!
Hoping soon for you 🙏
I have a 2019 JLU Mojito Green 6-spd. Welcome to the family and long live the manuals! Congrats!
Regardless of whether you like electric or fuel I have a JK and agree with the old schools is that the last true Jeep is the Lj/Tj because they still stuck with their military roots. I feel like they are moving away from what made them great and are moving towards more soccer mom vehicles.
375 HP and 490 pounds of torque is no soccer mom . Same freaking wrangler .
I love my 2023 4XE Rubicon
4xe the first wrangler dealers can't seem to get rid of my 2024 Rubicon X 2 door was super hard to find especially in my color
i have a 23 -4+E not affected by recall it’s 1% i here 🤷🏼♂️
Jeep NEEDS to open that up! Don't force 4xe down our throats! That's a great way to lose people! (no hate I own a 4xe) but it's my 3rd Jeep! No do not try to force it, I personally will NEVER buy a vehicle without a drive of one mechanically the same, EVER! gas is not dead yet and trying to make us want 4xe has the opposite effect!
Im so upset just got mine and I had no idea about this! My Willys 4xe and my charge won’t hold and my car only has 300 miles and needs an oil change ?! Like so so upset I was even sold this car!
When i was looking and they only had 4XE i walked away and they asked me why i told them if you only have 4XE then i dont want it
Thanks for showing the update on the jeep,Gupton got ahold of me today and said it was there and ready to pick up, so now I got to get to Tennessee, so the delivery time was December 1,2023 got in earlier than expected.
Awesome! Excited for you
@@DIRTROADCRED keep up the great content, maybe I can send ya some photos of the yeep and how she matures if you like.
I hate that everyone is being so hard on Jeep and the 4xe…
Now not you guys Matt but just people in general, GM had a huge issue with there Bolts catching fire and blowing up as well… this is all new territory and technology (especially for Jeep/Stallantis)
I’m not looking forward to an all electric world….. ever!
Can’t wait for the full reveal on the shop!!
As always, keep up the incredible work!! 👍
4 new wranglers in a 2 block radius all 4XE..hard to pass up that discount
24,500 miles no issues !!!
Man, I just test drove a 4Xe and Gladiator tonight and I REALLY liked the 4Xe.
Jeep Wrangler 4xe 2022 with 19,000 miles fully loaded. Cars been in the dealership twice for horrific death wobble and both times they failed to fixed it completely. New steering bar and 3 months later it completely breaks down and back to death wobble again. AND NOW GET THIS! While driving on the road the car completely shut down while driving, steering locked, and had to come to a stop in a super dangerous situation. The entire car basically is a fried donut. Waiting for the dealer to call us and tell us whats going on. What a turdtastic shit box. Never dealing with a Jeep again.
Yes, we ordered through the AP and Lindsey is amazing! We ordered July 3rd and picked up my Jeep November 24! Loving the SOT , so convenient. We drove 600 miles to pick up my Jeep, turned right back around and drove 600 miles back home. 🥴😴 Thank you for your pg. we get great information from you guys.
Agreed, ordered my 392 SOT from Lindsay on July 10th & got it delivered here in Omaha, NE on 9-26! I was very happy with the ordering process & the speed of delivery.
Fan of the brand, bought three over the years. I'll buy a 4xe when I can get 50-100 miles electric and then use gas. Basically, I want to put around town on electric, then go on long range with gas. 20 miles of electric range doesn't get a roundtrip from suburbs to city.
i have an appointment for my recall fix for the 15th my dealer is doing software update but they still waiting for my instructions from jeep !!!
I bought my Jeep in West Virginia in 2021 I guess I will do that again when I am ready to add the Gladiator since it will have a 4xe model and I assume that will also be the only model available then in PA
I've bought a bunch of stuff from JEDCO
Their stuff is solid!
i have a 2022 jeep wrangler willy’s edition 4xe and at only 20k miles it stopped working due to stability control issues, been in the shop for 2 months and nothing they do fixes it. and i wanted a new jeep to replace it but i’m scared it’ll happen in any jeep. 😢
I almost bought a 2024 4XE Wrangler Rubicon recently. The reliability issues on the forums gave me pause, then the possible 2025 changes stopped me. If they can get the issues fixed, I want to buy a Jeep. If not, I'm leaning toward Toyota Land Cruiser or next gen Forerunner. I really want to love the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
It's April 24 and my local dodge jeep stalantes dealer has half ev half conventional. There's a bunch of em (jeeps). Maybe the government will bail them out.
I would love to be able to consider a 4xe. But until they can do that in a 2 door, that option is not available to me. I love my 2 doors. I have been driving them since the mid 80's, and my current one is a 2020 2 door rubicon. I can promise I will never drive a 4 door wrangler. So until it is available in a 2 doors, I"m stuck with gas options only.
The CP4 HPFP recall on ecodiesel doesn't look so bad now....does it lol😅
I’ve been very happy with my 4xe and also move my Tesla so I’m all in on electric
Someone at Dan Cummins CDJR told me this morning that Bikini Pearl is no longer available. They won't even let me place an order for one. How long was it actually available? A week and a half? It still shows up on the Jeep website, but the salesperson at Dan Cummins told me that Jeep is slow at updating options on their website.
Willys XR, ordered May 1 when pricing dropped and picked up Nov 18.
Ordered a 6-spd rubicon back in May and it just hit production yesterday. Looks like things are starting to happen. I just hope interest rates and rebates are good when it's ready for pick up.
At around 2.12 minutes you talk about the new color being sharp. The only "sharp" think in the video was the reflection of the FJ Cruiser in the window.
I was planning to eventually get a 4xe to replace my aging 2012 Sahara. I think I may just buy a used Rubicon 392. May be a used 2024 392.
9:34 what??!! 🥶 greetings from San Juan, Puerto Rico at 81 degrees Fahrenheit today…. Ready to drive the Jeep with no doors tomorrow! 😁
Cold here!
Can't wait to see the new shop, & a few side step installs! I'm in the market for some for my '23 High Tide
I ordered a 2 door Willis in granite back in June. I got the build date of November 28th and it should be delivered mid December 😊
Lindsey is awesome!
When the 2024 wrangler came to the market it was know you can only get 3.6 auto trans with the rubicon trim only and all the other trims with the 3.6 was manual and only auto in the 2.0 but right now i start to build a Willys and is letting me choose 3.6 with auto trans, is this a website error or jeep change his mind?
no issues with mine only 31,000 USA affected total . Honestly way over blown . Funny how people think the wranglers have not had other bad recalls .
When your in the middle of the desert,or woods , where are you going to charge that thing. ? And, won't it be great,if it doesn't catch fire,or blow up
here's a thought.....don't want any issues with your new 4xe ......don't drive it anywhere.....just let it sit in your parking lot
Not all 4xes are affected by the recall, yet. Let’s be honest though for all the electrification politicization haters… numerous gas vehicles have had fire recalls as well.
That being said, giving the customer choice is obviously the best policy. If you have to hit compliance metrics, make all power trains more efficient.
For sure!
Most of the recalls I have seen are 21’s, not 24’s.
Pricing on Jeep Gladiator was updated on the Jeep Website but no build and price feature for the 2024 just yet. Any idea when that will be available?
i have a question, is there a certain amount down payment you have to put to order a jeep?
Finally got my Bikini blue Rubicon home. Ordered it over 5 mo ago! Thanks guy!! 1:55
Awesome! Great looking jeep!
I’ve been checking out Jedco now I’m gonna order something! Looking for Mohave orange hinge covers source???
This will be my 2nd recall for the battery lol. I'm not worried because I never plug it in I use the engine to recharge it. But I am waiting for them to add Hurricane I-6 Engine in the Wrangler once they do I"m selling my 4xe
Got my Rubi xr tech convenience package 11/30, ordered 8/1
Only 71 of 370 new Wranglers for sale in AZ are 4xe. Anyone wanting a new Jeep Wrangler will have a great selection here.
Thanks for the info- anywhere I can check my VIN if I wasn't contacted (yet)?
Used the JedCo link. Thanks for that. Great Christmas gift options.
In Canada I am, ordered my Sport S 2D Sept 9th b4 the strike, got a note from dealer they had VIN and sent it 2 me on Nov 9th. Still no date on build and such. Hoping a xmas gift. Love your vids btw!
Hoping it gets built for you soon! Thanks for watching.
I didn’t realize that was the rule in PA but I saw it when I was jeep shopping in Northeast PA. Wanted a 2024 Willys, they only had 4xes and some old used wranglers. Having not owned a jeep before and only being able to test drive the 4xe or a used wrangler that was still over 40k, I ended up buying a bronco
It makes you think that maybe Jeep is trying to push it's customers away to like the Ford bronco or the new Toyota cruiser
i just got my 2024 4xe today my anxiety level rn now bc i park in the garage
Check your vin. See if there are any recalls for it. Folks have been saying a majority are 2021
Drove a 4XE for a few days loaner. No thanks. As a PA resident the dealer lots are terrible
It has the Cool New Quick Removable Top.
Any update on the 2.0 engine?
I wish you could order the Willy's XR in stick.
Right?!
I think that the Jeep 4xe is dangerous to the public because unlike Tesla the battery is isolated from the driver compartment. The Jeep's version has a direct port to the battery from inside the vehicle. If the battery leaks any gas is in any way it's going straight into the driver's compartment.
Nice to see the Bikini Pearl pics. We have a 2020 JLU Sport S in Bikini. It is a very nice/unique color. We also have a 2024 Rubicon X in Firecracker Red on order since 8/1 which went to D1 on 11/21. Thanks for all the info you share.
Thanks for sharing! Hoping you get it soon
Thanks, me too
Oh no ! I love the 4xe Wrangler 😢it’s my favorite model
I ordered a 2 door rubicon with a manual transmission back in april. According to the jeep website on november 28th it went into production and on the 29th it was built. Dose that seem right? It takes one day to build after eight months?
Yes. A vehicle goes through he entire assembly process in a very short amount of time. What takes time is getting the parts together ( engine assembled in one factory/ seats are upholstered in another/ body panels painted/ seatbelts, etc, etc) Once all the parts are made and shipped to one location, on the assembly line it's amazing how fast a vehicle comes together. [I have family and friends that work in an assembly plant] There was quite a while with the chip shortage that my friend was paid to sit at home because they didn't have parts.
I just built one online, cant get Bikini blue with a Sky One Touch roof option
Hmmm interesting
