2025 gladiator 4xe confirmed!
Oh heck yeah! Time to trade in lol.
Wife had an unfortunate accident where her Wrangler Sport 4D inline 6 where it was totaled. She walked away without a scratch.
Jumped into the EV Hybrid world with a 2024 Sahara 4XE. Live in North East Indiana.
We installed a 2 hour Clipper Creek charger. 4 weeks in and we have been full electric and more than 1/2 tank of dealership gas remaining.
We only received the $3640 for tax credit and put it down on a buy. Extended warranty is a must. So we are paying more monthly but love this Jeep much better than our old Sport.
Glad to hear! These things are tanks for sure and usually pretty safe
That’s what all PHEVs are like a tank of gas lasts forever! I’d recommend using it up every 1-1.5 months
Awesome video 👏👏 luck you 😢 never had an issue. My 21 Sahara only had 17k showing stop and start need a service. But I love my jeep 😂😂
Yeah the power these 4xes have is the best part. I replaced this one with a gladiator and that 3.6 just isn’t the same lol. Really wish they would have offered a 4xe gladiator
@@PeakPerformanceEngineering yep. I just watched your purchasing gladiator that’s awesome deal!! You got a best price 👏👏
Yeah I can’t complain, really enjoying it so far too, nice having the truck bed.
I think the reliability concerns are valid. I’ve had engine shutdown 268 miles after purchase, 2 Electric Battery Heaters Replaced, and numerous recalls.
Ouch, sorry to hear about that, sounds like a complete headache.
Knock on wood but the 21 was good for us, and our 22 that we still have that’s about two years old has also been fine to this point. Will keep everyone updated as we go with the 22 still.
Same for me. 22 sahara 4xe, 1 battery heater replaced, 2 recalls
Maybe a dumb question but does it charge the battery at all if you don’t plug it in? I know it has regen braking but will it still have the acceleration and torque if you never charge it? I had a TJ I sold and we now have new Model Y. I’m hoping for a little bit of best worlds when I go shopping in August :)
Thanks for the video.
Yes even when it goes to zero for battery, it will still actually be saving some electricity for the extra power boost when going full throttle.
In my experience though here in Michigan, I have never seen the regenerative braking be enough to actually charge up the battery back to 1% or more.
@@PeakPerformanceEngineering thanks!
NP and good luck shopping! I’m a big fan of the 4xe. The power is awesome and being able to hit trails and do short 25 mile trips completely electric is awesome! You’ll dig it.
Did you regear Jeep to put 35 inch tires on?
Nope, it’s a rubicon so already had 4.10s. And being a 4xe it has a crap ton of torque, no need. Our other 4xe rubicon has 37s, no lift and no regearing.
My gladiator Mojave also has 4.10s and 37s and plenty of power for driving around, but maybe if you wanted to tow with it, you might want to do the 4.88s or 5.13s.
Can you drive at 60 MPH on 100% electric ?
Oh yeah, I think it’ll be engine off up to about 80 as long as your not commanding too much throttle. If you try to command throttle beyond a certain point it’ll engage the gas motor
Do you always drive in 4WD Auto?
I have a 2024 4xe that I started leasing in March. I went from a 2019 Wrangler Unlimited Sport. I was trying to figure out why i wasn’t getting the gas mileage I thought I should be (especially on a recent long trip). This video cleared that up for me. Thanks for your video! I learned a lot. I wish I would have seen this video sooner.
Yep always 4wd auto for 32k miles :)
It was so loud I barely can hear you when you were driving
Sorry, I wasn’t able to use a mic for this video, it ended up breaking and I was still waiting for the new replacement to arrive
