Jeep Is Finally Listening | Jeep News December

[@CustomDipstick]

Jeep needs to make a no-frills model with all of the off-road goodies that come on the Rubicon (axles, sway bar disconnect, etc). Crank windows, no ADAS, no power seats, just the things that matter for true off-road.

Id argue the sway bar disconnect and electric lockers should not be in a no-frills model. Those 2 items brake often, and manual/non-powered variants are a much more reliable and cheaper option

They should put a V8 in a Gladiator. They do in a Wrangler, why on earth would they NOT offer it in their "truck"? Some of us are absolutely okay with paying for the fuel economy. This whole "electrification" BS is just an agenda. Period. Thats all it is. Fossill fuels and Lithium are BOTH bad for the environment. Stop it with the games, follow the money....this is why the CEO suddenly exited because people are abundantly fed up. If Jeep is "listening", then offer a damn v8 in the Gladiator ffs.

[@AngeliqueASMR]

Aussie dealers asked for the v8 in the wrangler to come to Australia, the 392. Didn’t even make it available for us. Jeep in Melbourne has shut down and moved from the busiest road off all the dealers. Jeep is the only one leaving, no one here wants to pay $100k for a 2l turbo . We want v8.

Question for you since you'd be the one to know, I have a 24 with 6,800 miles and when I run 87 octane I get spark knock under load. I started running 91 and it seemed to stop. Why do they call to only run 87 when the new pentastar v6 is relatively high compression? And funny enough I got my first cel the other day and it was for multiple high voltage codes and a weird code for the fuel temp sensor. I reset the codes checked my fuses and a few were not seated well but the cel never came back. Where the hell is the fuel temp sensor?

The V6, V8 and diesel engines need to be available for all that want them. That said, I have a 2021 JLU Rubicon 2.0L Turbo that I bought brand new with the automatic transmission. I have it on Icon Pro wheels and 38" tires. For highway towing, I still need to re-gear it to 5:13, but other than that, I love the performance both on and off road, and the gas mileage is better too. I didn't listen to all the haters of the 2.0L in 2021, and I'm so glad I didn't. Sometimes I wish I had a V8, but then I'm on a remote trail for two days and love my range without having extra gas. The 4xe needs to be reduced.

[@scottbott8525]

What issues have you had with your wrangler?

It's pretty hard not to notice that 2021/2022 was a peak of JL quality, and everything newer was just a pure cost cutting. Including 2024 "refresh" with "new" interior.

I think many of us would appreciate more offroad performance options on lower end models, things like dana 44 axles with lockers, and better tires, for most people, it doesn’t make sense to buy a 60k rubicon and then go offroad to beat it up.

[@sfd253]

Agreed! Jeeps are priced the same as every other vehicle but have the fewest options of them all. The Willys/Sport could have better off-road options as the lower end models and leave out all the luxury and frills like leather, heated seats, safety packages, etc

[@Perfikt85]

You mentioned the cost cutting has effected the quality. The last 2-3 days, I’ve been looking for what I’m about to trade my 2024 Rubicon in for because I don’t feel the quality is there. I have less than 10k miles and I already have a pulley bearing squeaking, it’s shredded a belt, multiple times it has told me aux switches not available because battery is charging, and I feel air hitting my arm through the edge of the door. For over $60k, I expect not to have any of those issues.

[@MrMikeMe]

I agree. I have a 2023 jlu rubicon and yeah the quality is not there .. first winter the sqeaking from the rear suspension was brutel in cold weather. I've since spent 13kcdn on a 2 1/2" lift with falcon 2.0 shocks and steering stab.. and haven't had a problem with noise this winter thus far. I understand it is a jeep and there is some amount of noise and roughness .. but it was brutal last winter. I had a 2011 sahara that was 100% better, but I wanted a rubicon for the diffs, gears, and swaybar dis. 85k cdn .. is it worth it? def not. Also can we stop putting bridgestone t/a all terrains on rubicons. I think rubicons should automatically come with 2 1/2 lifts with 35s.... the greatest offroad vehicle in american history and we're putting all terraine rock throwing tires on it???

[@2FitDocs]

I was just on the "build your jeep" site looking at a Rubicon X, and you can't get the 35 inch tires, performance suspension, 4.56 gears, etc with anything but the 2.0 liter. I'll pass on this one until they make more options available.

There is one major downside to the 2L Turbo, here in Australia it seem to not being able to cope with the heat... When the V6 in my 2022 Gladiator is not even turning on the engine fan when idling in 40 degrees heat, while the people travelling with us in their 2L Wrangler had constantly its fan running... lo and behold it also led for the 2L going into limb mode after a full day of driving and had to wait a whole night to cool down... it doesn't seem to be a good engine... at least not for Australia

Had many jeeps over the years from J10 pickups to multiple wagoneers, and wranglers. My current 2018 JLUR is outstanding with the 3.6 auto. Jeep going back to its roots would be a great start. Focus on the off-road value with big power, low end torque and cool color options. Ford went that route with Bronco and sucked in many of the off road community away from the waining jeep market. I would really like Jeep to get back to building the iconic Jeep again.

[@tae1364]

I am a Jeep guy long and proud. I’ve owned 6 different wranglers, a renegade, and with my wife two different grand Cherokee’s. In recent years I’ve been afraid that features I love would be removed. First and foremost I am a manual driver. I don’t want an automatic Jeep. I want the control of my vehicle. Also this nonsense where they only stocked 4xe’s had me terrified. I am so against the electric movement but if you have to have them leave it to Toyota. I love what you said about Jeep people running Jeep. It should be people passionate about what they make. People who are proud of what they make. I learned that from my dad. He worked fourth years for Dixie and would tell us about the quality of what they produced. I do think it’s time to focus on core models that people think of when they hear the Jeep name. First and foremost for me is wrangler. Let’s offer a v6 a v8 and for the folks that like the 4 cylinder turbos, those too. Also don’t let the manuals die. I’m not thrilled with the grand Cherokee but I know I’m the minority on that. A Cherokee like the square body’s would be great as well. I was blown away and at first ashamed to admit how much I loved my renegade when I had it but a smaller suv that’s capable to let people stick their toes in the water of off roading or over landing is essential. They’re the gateway vehicular to wranglers. I enjoy the gladiators from a distance and agree, why no v8 for them? My last request for the wrangler is do one of two things. 1 make three versions a 2 door a 4 door and a stretched 2 door or 2 make three versions and it be a 2 door a 4 door and make the overlook that we saw as a concept be the third. I’d personally jump at a stretched 2 door or an overlook in a heartbeat.

I've owned two Jeeps and still own one of them. Since selling my wife's 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland diesel in 2019 (we were in the process of moving from Utah to the Island of Molokai), I've promised my wife "we'll buy you a Gladiator." Prices on the Gladiator went up as if there was no tomorrow. Several times I came close to buying that Gladiator, but we held off waiting for me to finish writing a book I've long been researching and writing. Both my wife and I still plan to purchase a new Gladiator. We positively will do so as long as we can get the Gladiator with the Pentistar engine and the eight-speed automatic. (I positively do not want an electric or a "hybrid" Jeep of any kind. Nor do I want a turbocharger.) Eventually we also plan to replace my 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with a new, JL Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. We've lived on Molokai since March 2019. An electric vehicle would make more sense here on an island that's 38 miles long and only 10 miles wide. But, as stated above, I've no interest in an electric vehicle. Part of the push towards electric vehicles is, honestly speaking, political. I understand why you folks don't want to get into politics, but sooner or later sane people need to speak up or the Greta Thunberg's of our planet will dictate what all of us drive. I'll be seventy-seven in March. I don't know of any twenty-one year old whose an expert on anything let alone automobile power plants. My wife and I will probably purchase two Jeeps, her Gladiator, and a new Wrangler Rubicon for me, during the 2025 model year. Both will have the V-6 engine in them. Both will be eight-speed automatics. We will probably purchase our Jeeps on the Mainland and ship them to Oahu and then to Molokai. Jeep dealers in Hawaii use ADM or ADP on top of the MSRP. We're smarter than that! Andrew McKane IV, 19 December 2024, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

The JL/JT manuals are awful compared to previous JK. The way Jeep programs the throttle body with rev hang for emissions is terrible. I’d own another manual if they could make it work like a manual…without the rev hang issues. Also the double overdrive is crazy. I’d rather have a 1:1 5th and a .82 6th. I had a 18 JLU with 3.45 gears and the manual on 33s and rarely ever could even use 6th. There’s some kinda torque management going on that if your around 2000 rpm and floor it in a higher gear the pcm pulls power and forces you to downshift when my old LJ didn’t gaf. It would just chug on with no nannies interfering

[@alancadieux2984]

@stkiswr i agree, if you're cruising in 8th and find the slightest uphill grade, it's like straight to 6th. Having the rubicon 4 : 10 gears the fuel ⛽️ milage sucks. I'm in Canada 🇨🇦 and so warming it up before going anywhere I'm at like 23 liters per 100km. They say bigger tires this gets worse, I'm wondering 🤔 if: go from stock 285/70/17's to 285/75/17's might actually help since geared so low, bigger than that and yes it probably would get worse. But lastly, the automatic transmission seems reliable, if that silly clutch fails out in the trails remote 🏕 camping, I don't really want.

[@stkiswr]

@@alancadieux2984 it’s funny, I had a 18JLU, then a 21JTR that I loved but had an accident and it was totalled and now am back in a 23 JT overland. I did a simple 1.5” front level and a set of 275/70r18 Goodyear wrangler mt, mopar lower control arms (From their lift), and a Tazer mini. On a trip to St. George island from middle Georgia I hit 23 mpg hand calculated and dash. It was a lot of 55-65 speeds. I live about 5 miles from my job so my daily is roughly 15-16 mpg. I was holding 8th a lot due to the elevation and flat roads down. I see 8th but yeah it dumps at any incline. So far I’m fine with this simple setup. I kinda like the tall skinny tires but I bought mine so cheap I couldn’t complain. If I did it again I’d move up to a skinnyish 35 and keep the factory rims. I like the look. Also I went from 255/70r18 to my current size with like 200 miles on the odometer. I have been looking at the 305/70r18 wrangler mt since they are a cheapish tire and ride pretty good. I just hit 8000 miles and my current ones look new. I hit one wild trail called river rock in miledgeville a it was wild for what I wanted to do but the tires didn’t let me down and I didn’t beat up my truck. It gave me faith in what can be accomplished with good tire placement and weaving a dang truck through a wild place lol.

The cost plus labor questions the justification in doing it compared to the value of the vehicle. ✌🏼

I bought a Grand Cherokee 7 years ago and have loved it. Now I have really wanted to check out the Wrangler, but there is no option at any level to get a good stereo. My GC had an amazing stereo! I test drove the Rubicon X and even the 392, and the stereo is weak. Now I'm looking at an X5 - but if they came out with a good stereo in Wranglers before next Fall, I could still go back to my first choice.

Glad to hear this!! Tried to build a 25 jeep and it would not let me build a V6 Auto.

BRING BACK GOBI AND TAN SEATS WITH TAN SOFT TOP!!!

I’m more concerned about the manual transmission option when they go to the hurricane engine

[@nigelsturge6707]

The Question is are we going to get the Hurricane v6? Or the same lack luster 285hp/ 260ft lbs.

[@1voicenwilderness]

The AT & v6 is not available to entire lineup. Also one feature I do not see anymore that I like is the AWD system as an option.

[@adamweber1545]

V6 + Manual + Xtreme Recon 35” tire package please

[@RandyBeard]

What about colors? Are they going to bring back some of the colors they discontinued, like Sarge Green”?

[@jonrice3763]

Carlos Tavares was to Jeep what Alissa Heinerscheid was to Bud Light.

[@dvader3263]

What's amazing is how many morons give a shite about their love of drinking pisswater.

[@JackARoe1964]

Id be happy with a 5.7 Hemi

[@teedeerolo]

nice to hear the changes, still waiting to see 2.0l in the 25 gladiator. I believe I want to get a Gladiator next. I love my 2 door JL but might be nice to go back to a truckish vehicle. Thanks for the updates

[@randylenz254]

I understand the 394 is going away so it's a mute point but I wish someone could explain to me why if I order a grand Cherokee you could go from a 3.6 to a 5.7 for about 3k yet in a Wrangler it cost 30k to go to a V8. Why? The 5.7 wrangler for 3k would have been a game changer for jeep

marketing

[@Zivety]

Im also tired of the dial shifters

[@EdAnderson-i2z]

I am still driving a 96 jeep cherokee country 4.0 inline 6 auto 4wd with NO motor repairs, NO transmission repairs, NO transfer or differential repairs, just regular maintenace upkeep stuff. 235,000 miles of hunting, fishing.

[@freedomfighter8640]

I think that one has a Toyota transmission and maybe transfer case and those 4.0 inline are boring and gutless but reliable .

[@melman8r]

Now, fix the paint issue and I'll buy a 25 JLR

[@leefoulds2569]

V6 MANUAL GLADIATOR!!!

[@fredrubble1151]

Glad I ordered my MANUAL 2024 Gladiator Mojave in April . Its Perfect so far with zero issues . The one thing that's a miss is he Exhaust system. It should be a Performance Exhaust. A small V-8 or the Cummins R2.8 Diesel? Heaven!

[@LukeEdward]

Welcome to the “ManGlad” crew!! Got a manual Rubicon, myself!

[@brianwiechman1056]

They need to bring prices back down to get more people to buy them. I just test drove a AT4X canyon and I can tell you for 56k I would rather own that than any gladiator. Get any comparable option from jeep and you are spending 65k.

[@frankrao2264]

We need to make a moderately/low priced "off-road" version that can be "moded" out since most of the off road community practicly rebuild their Wranglers/Gladiators anyway

[@toddstearns8437]

Have you ever changed out the spark plugs on the 3.6? Grab a Snickers because omg

[@ReConGrpTx]

2dr & 4dr model with locked Dana U60's, manual disconnect swaybar (similar to the Evo disconnect), half doors included, manual power seats/windows, 3.6, auto & manual available. It would be FANTASTIC if they could rectify the freaking oil cooler issue in the 3.6 while they are at it........and an option for the Hurricane HO (Cat 3) just for grins. Hopefully that engine turns out to be all, or at least most, of what they promised.

[@richardagostino5085]

The amount of issues I hear with the 2.0T still to this day makes me steer clear I drove a few they are definitely cool I’m just not ready to take the leap

[@austinglover8557]

Jeep, Please put the 5.7 Hemi back in the short wheel base Grand Cherokee.

[@chuckshade7959]

They do need some good PR and some lower prices , they need to own it .a good add would be “Hey we lost our way but now we are coming back “ !!!

[@autumnfragrance6326]

A 2.0 liter engine is too small for the vehicle weight. It has too many parts adding cost and complexity; while subtracting from reliability and longevity. Also needs premium gasoline... so you're not saving money on fuel.

[@lizlopezsmiles]

Great Vid 😊

[@irhillbillyirhillbilly8605]

How about perfect the straight 6 hurricane.??

[@irhillbillyirhillbilly8605]

And it's a JEEP price them correctly! As a JEEP owner of two of JK 16 and 18 would love to get a new one but the price difference between a used and a new is wrong!
