Nice big wheel wells, lots of room.

Fun footage. It's very refreshing to see a new, large wagon flexing rigid axles over adverse terrain.

Great write-up. Beautiful seats, but I'm pretty sure they could use some competition. It'd be great to see some other makers come in with high quality, higher value options.

I'll be interested to see how high it goes. Given, LHD triple-locked diesels are rare specimens in the U.S., but it's still an old, high-mileage truck. Absent a rebuild, all of its rubber (seals, bushings, gaskets) is well past prime and prone to failure. The leather is cracked and in spots...

Looks great. I've always thought Armada was a bit of a sleeper platform. How does it drive and feel?

I found an article that sort of explains it here. The official EPA electric-range rating for the Wrangler 4xe is 22 miles. That's 3 miles short of what Jeep estimated when the plug-in hybrid SUV was unveiled last year. The Wrangler 4xe also gets an efficiency rating of 49 MPGe combined, and...

And EPA also provides this explanation: For those vehicles that do not use liquid fuels--such as electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles operating on electricity, and compressed natural gas vehicles-- the labels display miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent (MPGe). Think of this...

Jeep states 4xe achieves 49 MPGe in hybrid mode. That claim is repeated here. But, with a 17.2 gallon tank, its range is 370 miles in hybrid mode--which achieves only ~21.5 MPG. Many have been led to believe that, under hybrid power and 49 MPGe, the 4xe can travel 49 miles for each gallon of...

Yeah, towing for Defender, by virtue of its design, is a bit of a sideshow. What truly distinguishes Defender among North American offerings is its combination of one-ton payload and off-road chops. No other wagon offers that key combination for remote touring.

This is a thorough, no-nonsense six-month review emphasizing towing and payload capability. They've had one now-resolved electronic non-start, and ongoing problems with Apple Carplay. Overall a positive review, but they're replacing it because GVW can't be upgraded.

I would counter-offer Blaire, Cher, or Sinclair. :) Nice work getting after the rust. You're going pretty deep here.

And certainly 50s. That fact is an opportunity for the low spec Defender to compete for market share. I hope JLR has their eye on that (and, to that end, by also offering coils for a lower N.A. price point). I would like to believe that more volume would lead to better reliability too.

That was my front porch in Salida. Quite the view.

This closure is fantastic news and long overdue.

Wrong-o, bud. I know several people cross shopping Bronco and GX. GX is winning among them because, unlike Bronco, you can actually drive away in a vehicle when you buy a GX.

What about supplementing with a few 3000 W portable wind turbines?

Good point, I agree--a competitor to all three Toyotas (GX included) with more payload at 2010 lbs.

Good question. But, I think it was a well-reasoned and fair conclusion. Excellent article overall; thorough, clear, and--wait, Wrangler's quiet payload increase?--informative.

We did not, but both are sturdy and comfortable platforms. We actually pulled the trigger on a second, lower mileage triple-locked 80 series instead. Had we gone the Lexus route, we'd probably go for the 570 (with a low lift and different tires and wheels) simply because its cargo volume is...
