The BEST 4xe review on the web by a country mile! Excellent work, and backed up with actual data! I've owned Jeeps and enjoyed all of them for over forty years. I thought I wanted a diesel; however, I am considering the 4xe as I have heard of overheating problems with the diesel. Having owned several Ford diesel pickups, I am surprised to hear that the Jeep diesel has overheating issues. Again, a solid review.

This is BY FAR the most informative 4xe video I’ve seen! Can’t wait for mine to come in (in 8-10 weeks 😅) I watched probably 10 videos on 4xe Jeep’s and yours is the reason I pulled the trigger!

Hey Brandon Just wanted to say this is best video on the Wrangler 4×E out there great job !!!

I really appreciate this video. Painted a very different picture about this vehicle than I have seen in other reviews. Honestly I have been waiting on reviews of this vehicle and was very disappointed in what I was hearing initially. You have renewed my interest in this version of the Wrangler. Thank you

I purchased my Wrangler 4xe on Tuesday and I love it! It’s a lot of things I didn’t know about the vehicle until now! Thank you!

Most of these youtube videos are just stretched out talking about nothing or repeating themselves. This is a GREAT video with actual information. Hats off to you for breaking the norm.

Wanted to comment about oil changes. I believe the manual states that for the 4xe oil changes are recommended every 10,000 miles. The dealership was shocked when I showed them this - they believed it was supposed to be every 5,000 miles driven. With that said, and having owned a Volt for the previous 8 years, you need to change the oil at least every six months because oil breaks down on it’s own, even if you aren’t running the engine.One aspect of maintenance I didn’t hear you touch on are the brakes. If you use max regen often (which I do) then your Jeep is slowed down using the max regen function of the electric motors, which saves your brakes tremendously - I believe it can double the expected life of your brakes - at least this is what I experienced for the Volt

I agree, I wasn't that interested in the 4XE, but you do a great job and now I am considering it. Keep up the great work. Love to see you do the 392 like this.

Best video on 4xe! Thank you, it answered a lot of questions! Ordered my Sahara 4xe

I recently purchased a 4xe (sahara unlimited in bright white) & your videos have been so helpful for me getting to know my new vehicle!

Got my order in on Aug 8th for a 2023 Wrangler Sahara 4xe. Have received my VIN and my Jeep is in the production queue. Went with a pretty basic build, White with color matched hard top, cold weather package (a must have for me), and the front trail cam. One thing has changed, all 4xe's now have the blue tow hooks.

One of the best reviews on this model. Thanks for making this

Hey Brandon, I bought a 4xe a week ago and I’m so excited. Thanks for the content

Thanks so much for the deep dive! I just ordered my 4xe. Can’t wait honestly

Thanks for the great video! Lots of good info. Just ordered my 2024 4xe last week and can’t wait for it to arrive!

Great video and presentation! Thanks for the tour and the daily life aspects!

Best 4xe video out there. Thank you so much!

I just love mine Brandon !!!!, I'm @ 5500 miles and not one issue couldn't be happier !!!

Great Video Man! Loved the way you explained every single detail about the car.

Learned more in this video than a combo of videos before. Bra-vo sir. Love it

awesome video Brandon, we have been looking at the 4xe vs. the new Bronco and I have to say I love the 4xe over the Bronco. Thank you again for putting this together.

We just our Jeep 4XE two weeks ago, I wanted to comment on the Electric range of our jeep. When we first got the jeep, it showed 25 MPGE range, after 2 weeks of driving, I noticed now my MPGE range has improved to 27 MPGE. My normal gas was 22 MPG and now I'm getting 23.6 MPG per gallon. Now, I am just sharing our experience. Also, when driving in Hybrid mode, I try not to accelerate or use over 25 watts and gradually getting up my target speed. Maybe this method of driving is improving the over all performance of our 4XE.

Super informative and in-depth, thank you!!

Have 4xe questions?? Feel free to text me personally at 704-459-3087 . Here I can go more in-depth about any of your questions!

What an AMAZING video!!! Very informative but not boring either, great personality too! :)

Thanks for the video's. I ordered my White Sahara 4xe with a Black Hardtop and it will be delivered next week! I am in the Charlotte Area, hope I see you around!

I want one!! Thanks for all the great 4xe videos

Waiting for the all electric wrangler!

Thanks for a review and your experience about this beautiful Jeep

Excellent info and overview, thank you!

Haven't seen any charging stations around here. Too many high lift full size 4x4's around here for the e-mobiles to catch on.

Great video. We have a 3.6l Wrangler and Gladiator, we will be replacing the Gladiator later in the year and we’re considering the 4xe. You’ve given us a lot of information to consider.

Thank you for all your vids on the Jeep Wrangler 4xe. I've learned so much about mine, Thanks to you. Love your drag racing video. ❤️❤️ Bty. To say Thank you. I hooked up with you thru Amazon. Looking forward for more vids.

I have been thinking about the 4xE and already have a PHEV. I like using my regen mode to reduce brake wear as it will do a good job slowing the car when approaching a stop sign/stop light. I have gotten good at judging the distance/timing. 30 miles on EV would be nicer to see but the greatest shortcoming is that a lot of the charging stations are only CHAdeMO and CCS Combo. :-( The people putting the chargers in really need to accommodate J1772 users AND vehicle manufactures need to put in dual receptacles, so we can J1772 at the house and CCS Combo on the road.

Great video. My wife drove one today and loved it. We will order one very soon.

Love your video! Thank you so much

I learned alot on this video. Thank you,!!

"If it doesn't open, don't worry. there is nothing wrong with it." It's a Jeep. It not working is always a strong possibility.

Very nice review! Great work.

If you are using this Jeep for daily commute and your commute is less than 20 miles, yes this is your car. You can drive it for months before you need to fill gas. If you have long commute, just wait for the full battery version.

Brandon, I’ve noticed on 4xe forum a lot ppl having issues and fixes usually are resetting fuses and fix problems. Why is this happening and how to get to fuse box to ensure mine are all okay?

Great video, I tried that car and it was amazing. Looking forward to buying it.

Considering the versatile 4Xe as next vehicle. All PHEV videos should be produced using your template! Kudos!

Top info from you thanks from Switzerland

I'm enjoying your videos. Thanks for the work you put into them. My situation: 22-miles commute, one way, 4 days/week. Cheapest gas currently at the $6 handle which, with other trips, puts fuel bill around $120/week. No home charging capability (my HOA has an underground garage, with 117 VAC outlets on the support columns, but the circuits can't take the strain of multiple EVs charging). There is charging at work, but I haven't checked the chargers' compatibility or their availability when I arrive. Off-road capability is a must. The 4xe costs more than the house in the Midwest I'm selling. Would you still recommend it?

Thanks for the info dude.

I was wondering if theres a way to protect the charging lvl 1 cable (so it cant be stolen) like a lock of some sort or a way to make it go throught the inside of the car ? Thank you !

Man….excellent! Thank you.

Something to be very carefull about when thinking of buying one of these 4xe is they do not have all the kinks dealt with yet. there seems to be a big problem with the fuel and oil refresh mode that will activate in cold climates. When this comes up it will not allow you to run in electric mode so this really defeats the purpose of owning a 4xe in like say Canada. Currently I'm running into this issue and I hope Jeep finds a solution to this. Very disapointed as I have only owned this Jeep for less than a week and can not use electric only in very cold weather.

Super helpful video, Brandon! Thanks! *Jeep wave* (2003 Rubicon)

your videos are great...i have learned a lot from your videos...Thanks!!!....i have the 2022 Sahara 4xe..and mine has the blue tow hooks...also i drive in manual 99% of the time, i like to upshift and downshift, and i get about 16.9 miles per gallon, thats all....i guess there is a price to pay, when you like to shift all the time...i have not charged mine, in a couple of months, i should, but i have not...i just liked the vehicle, i was not looking for that charging option...but its there if i need it...keep the videos coming, thumbs up!!!!!

Great video

When I had my Ford Cmax hybrid I changed the oil when the car told me to...which was about every 10,000 miles on the odometer.

Great video Brandon, been watching your journey with this vehicle as I'm considering one for myself (currently driving a 2016 Mini Cooper S). I can't believe you worked the tax credit into a lease, I would be thrilled if Michigan offered the same as it would make for an outstanding down payment and make this quite affordable. I've already got the garage set up for charging as we've got a Bolt EV in the household, and since this is such a smaller capacity battery, it'll charge nicely around the Bolt's schedule to top-off. Looking forward to more of your videos, keep up the fine work!

Brandon, I consider you the subject matter expert for 4Xe, way more informed than anyone at the dealerships (don’t know shit, only trained to say “when can you come in?” Like robots.) I posted this question (how long will it run AC on battery power?” On JeepWrangler Forum, in six months only got one response (“same time as driving 23 miles”) huh? So same energy to just run AC as to propel a 5500 lb vehicle? I saw your video when you set temp ((78-79 degrees?) and ran the AC, how long will it run on a full charge? Thanks, and keep the great videos coming!

Was wanting to get a 4XE but could not justify the extra $11,000 over the eTorque, so I went with the eTorque… it should be arriving in the next 5-7 days.

Ours is supposed to arrive next Tuesday. Looking forward to it.

Just bought one and used the credit in TN. I love it so far.

The Jeep should let you know when you should change your oil. It should calculate your averages regarding e drive vs. gas drive and recommend when you should change your oil.

With that range I can't complain.

Pretty awesome review I was looking at 4xe and trying to figure out if it is worth trading in for. 100000 mile 10 years warranty kind of makes it a no brainer.

Great video. Also, I saw you had a power inverter in the back. Curious to know if it came with the vehicle or you had it installed. At any rate, if you can share the specs that would be great.

if you see two flashing charging bars, then you need to pull out the charger, close the door on the remote control and reopen it .. After that, you can connect the recharge.

Great video!

Have a 4xe rubicon and it's spent more time at the dealership then in my driveway one issue after another

It seems that Jeep changed the warranty for 22. The hybrid and high voltage is now 8 years with 100,000 miles. Any idea why?

A wrangler is my dream car and has been for the longest. The 4XE took care of my gas guzzler anxiety. But what stopped me is the safety in a Jeep. I have two small kids and the lack of airbags are a deal breaker for me. I get why they don’t have as many but for someone who wouldn’t take it off road or really even customize it, I wish I had the option to add more airbags into it. But once these kids are out the house, I am going right to a Jeep dealership.

I have a Gladiator and I’m wondering if I should get the 4e. I am considering it because of the cost of gas in California and I was offered one in Tuscadero pink Rubicon.What is your opinion?

Hi. What happens when the battery is dead,, do I lose that extra horse power that the hybrid produces?

Brandon, I have a question for you about passive entry. I just got a 2023 Sahara Unlimited. With all of my other vehicles, I used to keep a “dummy” key tied underneath my vehicle in case I ever lost my keys. And I was able to keep a spare keyless entry fob hidden inside my vehicle that would start for me and save me from being stranded. But those vehicles were just keyless entry using the fob. I’ve never had passive entry before until now. Is there a way to store my extra 2023 Jeep passive key fob hidden inside the vehicle? It seems that the vehicle can’t be locked with it in it. And does it drain the battery also on the Jeep or no? Also, can Home Depot make a dummy key from the key that swings out from the key fob? Thanks for your help. You seem to know everything there is Jeep related. Thank you.

On the noises subject, have you noticed a very loud “compressor” like noise when your engine first gets into gas mode? My JLUR 4xe makes this loud noise and carries higher RPMs for about 60-90 seconds when the engine portion needs to fire up for the first time, and it sounds like some other folks on some forums are hearing the same. Wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned about the transmission.

Brandon I’ve read so many reviews reporting sky 1 touch top leaks ? Any problems with yours ?

Great video! Do you know, if in max regen, does the brake lights come on when you let off the gas?

Thanks!

on my 2023 I don't have to keep turning on the max regen button. Once I turned it on, it will stay on til I turn it off even after restarting the car.

Hi Brandon,Is it possible to get your mailbox to work together?

Where did you bought yours ? I recently went to my local jeep dealer to factory order one and tried to use the $7.5k credit towards the lease just like you did and they said they cannot do that and the only way for me to get the credit was if I bought it (finance or cash)

Nice review! Do you still own this and if so, still like it? How many miles you have on it?

Are you using regular or premium gas? Here at my station (5-17-22) reg is $4.35 premium: $4.85 a gallon.

Will a child car seat fit in the back seat as the rear seat spec are different from a regular unlimited. Also, are there car seat anchors in the rear seat? Thanks for your informational videos!

Awesome video! Can you share how much discount you got and how much is your monthly payment? Lease? Finance?

yes you should get one. I love this truck

Remember not all level 2 chargers are equal. Level 2 in the states means 220volt but there are 2 types of 220v. One that does about the 15amps and one that does 30+amps. This still slow when you consider the DC charging at several 100amps.

Awesome videos on the 4xe! Are you in Raleigh? It would be awesome if I could meet up with you to take a look at the 4xe in person. I haven’t been able to find one at a dealership.

Love the video! I have owned a Sahara 4xe since last June. A couple things I wanted to comment on. First - the $7500 tax credit is federal - not state - so if you owe $7500 or more in federal tax the year you buy it you get it all back. Currently, if your federal tax bill at the end of the year is less than $7500, you only get back what federal tax you owe, and the remaining credit doesn’t carry over to the next year. Some states have an additional EV tax credit that would differ from state to state. The EV credit for the Jeep 4xe could potentially be increased to $12,500 if the Rebuild America bill passes. It added to the $7500 credit because the Jeep is made in America by a union work-force. This bill will hopefully pass in 2022 - fingers crossed. For me, I bought mine in 2021 so I was able to take advantage of the $7500 tax credit fully. The Electrify America chargers are DC Fast Chargers which some of the newer cars like the Mustang Mach-E can use to charge the batter from about 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes. I live in an apartment and can’t install a 220v outlet in my garage - but living with 110v level 1 charging hasn’t been all that bad. Typically after I go on a trip my Jeep is fully charged in the morning when I need it again. I get about 27 miles on a charge. Living in Orlando this is a great feature. Still, I do miss my 55 miles range of the 2017 Chevy Volt Premier that was my previous car. With my typical driving I am averaging 35 mpg since I bought the car about 9 months ago. Running in hybrid mode I average about 22 mpg. One pesky thing I didn’t like about the Jeep 4xe was that I had to engage max regen mode every time I turned on the Jeep, The owners manual states it’s supposed to remember if it was engaged before turning off the ignition, but sadly this feature doesn’t seem to have been enabled in the Jeep they deliver from the factory. Happily, I was able to purchase the Mini Tazer for the 4xe which among other things (light show!) gives the Jeep the ability to remember the max regen setting so I don’t have to push that button every time I start the car. Keep the videos coming!

Does it have the inverter and does it tap into the EV batteries?

Hey Brandon! I was wondering if you could please share some details on how you were able to use the tax credit as the lease down payment. I’m in the market for this vehicle and super interested in doing that!

I assume wether running in gas or electric mode, the oil life is the same correct? Or does the electric mode bypass the engine to run the car in the way a tesla does?

Nice review . Can it run on gas only, without being plugged in at all?

I drive 22 miles to work which also has electric charging stations. I would have to filly gas tank once every month or so. If that. Very cool

Does it have a Dana 40 front end. I see it has 3:73 gears

Great video! I am currently looking to purchase a 4XE - what leather interior is spec’d on your build sheet? Does it list red stitching? In the video the stitching looks to be grey. Also, were the running boards added as a dealer installed option?

Hey Brandon - love your videos. Can you dig into the Max Regeneration mode? Is this something that one should regularly use?

Would you recommend using E-Save mode the majority of the time to charge the battery and get the best fuel economy?

Brandon, I'm sure this question has been asked and answered but what grade fuel do you use, 87, 89, or 93???

PS. the cost of KWH in Connecticut is 22.69. I think its the highest in the country next to Hawaii.

it only makes sense to consider the oil change on the ENGINE, not the vehicle, yes?

And the fuel of gas and units of waruls and stuff

Ótimo vídeo .. Muito esclarecedor. 👏🏼 We"Brazilians" see you at Brazil.

Brandon, Should I be worried about the zillion possible things that can go wrong with just about everything on this?, OR do you think they have it all pretty well thought out. I should be placing my order this week but I'm getting a little bit of cold feet when hearing about all the various, heat, cooling, high voltage this and that, is this Jeep going to be reliable in your opinion???
