    Our New Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

    Our new GC has slightly more storage space than her 2018 GC Trailhawk did... FWIW- my bro-in law bought the L just before we got ours. They get 20mpg but wanted the 3rd row.

    Our New Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

    22 miles 1 way. A 2 mile climb out of the valley I live in, followed by 18 miles of rolling rural highway, then 2 miles of back streets to the plant. I usually pull in with 5 miles left on the battery indicator which gets me back out of town and on the way home before it's gone and it switches...

    Our New Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

    This was 1 month's total commuting to work in my wife's Grand Cherokee... I still had over half a tank of gas left...

    6.4l terrible mpg

    MDS is a funny thing. I used to disable it in my 5.7 1500 Laramie because it was so intrusive in noise and vibration... But I've never bothered in my PW. Even with my glass packed single exhaust I can never notice when it's active...

    Our New Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

    I've been driving my wife's 4XE to work for a year and a half since her early retirement... I like that the combined HP and torque makes it move out pretty quick for such a heavy SUV... Plus-I can drive to work all week long for the same fuel that my PW uses in a single day...

    And then Ford brought back the V8 cause few people cared for the 6 banger, regardless of how much HP it made...

    Tires make all the difference in the world!

    Improvements? I really can't say cause I only had the Duratracs for a few miles. I wanted to go up to 35" tires and the local shop said they've been having good success with the Klevers even on farm trucks that see a ton of gravel roads. I can say they have been surprisingly good tires for...

    Brand new RAM RHO

    Nice, but I'm glad my PW is paid for... It's likely the last truck I'll ever own...
