Jeep trying too hard!!!!

[OCNORB1974]

So Ford and Jeep have the same motto? Weird.

Jeep has had much more time to make there’s better, and they haven’t.

Jeep does this really weird thing, where when you order a vehicle...they build it.

Crazy!

Are you on the wrong blog, the Jeep forum is somewhere else.

Jeep: We'll try anything except making a better vehicle.


*edit...looks like i ruffled a few feathers from Jeep owners who are mad their Wrangler was designed in the 1950's...settle down guys, the 392 Wrangler is cool, ok!

its Ford v. Chrysler friendly banter....jokes....just take a breathe

It’s just a dumb mindset to continue to have.

Probably, but you'll have a few heavily guarded by people playing the long game. There could be hundreds of thousands of these things at some point too.

Also surveillance powered by the same solar panels.

Neat stuff, but I wonder if the electrical gremlins that Jeeps have will transfer when they tether together?

In all seriousness, probably half those things won't happen or stay around very long. Jeep drone is cool till it get's stuck in a tree or taken out by an eagle. BUT somebody has to start dreaming stuff up to make our toys better, then LET THE COMPETITION BEGIN! end result will only be good for us.

Drone thing is cool. There is a huge market for scouting ahead or even just understanding road conditions. I’m all in on that.

I feel like a regular third party drone would probably work better. They're likely going to be buying drones from an established manufacturer, slapping a Jeep logo on it, and charging twice as much for it.

There are already great drones available with autopilot that will follow you around filming you driving a trail.

Nope. Just waiting for the Bronco I reserved on July 14, 2020, ordered in January 2021 and re-ordered October 2021 to be built.

But yes, I do read the Jeep forum as well, and am blown away by these folks placing orders, getting scheduled, and picking up their rigs. It appears to be a successful business model.

Angle grinder drone or nothing for me, thanks.

I do have to say it would be pretty badass if my vehicle would pick me up on the other side of a through hike or at the bottom of a multi day bike ride.. Never even thought about that till I watched that video. I couldn't give a damn about most of the other stuff.

Lol Ford as a whole is littered with quality issues and recalls right now. Acting like Ford is the beacon of vehicle quality is funny.

As for the Bronco and Wrangler that I wasn’t even talking about. Better? Says who? You? Lol. That’s not biased at all! Why don’t you let J.D. power do their reliability studies on the Bronco before you hand out anymore of your unbiased comments.

At the trails I've been on, would be surprised to ever see charging stations. I think until range extends, EV 4x4s will be more for pavement dwellers. Which honestly a lot of people buy Broncos/Wranglers for the image not for a trail. EV will work fine for that usage.

They’ll be there. Jeep has a vested interest in making sure they continue the lifestyle they’ve created with the Jeep brand. They’ll be Solar, some will be electric. If they get forced to building electric only vehicles they’ll invest in the infrastructure because nobody will buy their vehicles without it.

Reserved the Bronco on 8/17/20 for the wife. Reserved a 2nd Bronco on 10/1/20 for the Granger deal. Early to mid 2021 I drove a 4 door big bend and loved it so I placed 2 different orders for both of us. I waited a few months and gave up and said screw it. Traded in my Challenger, ordered a Mojave Gladiator on 8/17/21, strangely on the same day I reserved the Bronco, realized that a few days later. It was delivered to the dealer on 9/18 and I got my 8% off before everything sky rocketed in price too. My truck is now 58K, 4K more than it was a year ago.

1 year to the day I ordered the Bronco I ordered the Jeep and I’ve almost been driving my Jeep for an entire year already. Glad I didn’t wait, I have no allegiance to any of these companies but at least Jeep was organized. Especially knowing what I know now and how bad this process has gotten, I would have lost out on the deal I got big time.

3. Autonomous driving, This i Just do not get, why would you just let your jeep drive the trails by it's

Going off road autonomously might be the scariest thing I could think of. To be so comfortable that you could recline completely and let the computer do its thing is bonkers. Also, I've never been a fan of being a passenger while off road. It just seems a 100x bumpier and having zero control is not for me.

As I await my Bronco Badlands 2 door 7MT, I placed a Rubicon order on 7/11/22. Just received notice it's been scheduled for production as of 7/29/22.

I expect I'll enter the fall taking deliver of the Rubicon, and re-re-ordering my Day 2 reservation Bronco as a 2023 model.

One thing is for sure. The Bronco has changed the 4x4 industry for the better. Why fix something that isn't broken? Because it could be so much more.

Imagine a 4x4 with a built in RTT, or built in air compressor for your inflatable raft (and tires that deflate and inflate on command). There is no innovation without competition. Just look at Samsung vs iPhone. Without each other, we'd still be at iPhone 3, only that we'd call it an iPhone 15 (although it hasn't changed much since iPhone7).
