2021 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe Granite Crystal over Saddle

At least it was a charity golf outing.
They also try a few scare tactics like “you may find that your electric bill goes up $85-100 depending on how much you charge”. Umm no, I think thats a stretch. I am expecting $30-40 increase, basically a tank of gas or less.

I try to do that, if I know I'll just be local. For road trip, charge to 100% and then use hybrid mode when beyond local traffic to max performance and overall range.

I just need to spend some time getting exact quotes and pulling all the strings on rebates/incentives before I make any further decisions. After a week charging on the 120v has been fine but I admit it was nice using the rapid charger on Saturday at the shopping center and seeing it go from dead to full in about 2 hours or a few margaritas which ever came first

But now I think I “need” a loaded to the hilt pro 4X. It seems practical, and has all the options. Plus (big plus) really good 24 month lease terms! That might be a great short term solution.
Anybody see a flaw in this plan?

It looks like you have to pony up for a fully loaded SV, or the Pro 4X, to get LED headlights.

As much as I do like a BMW, Mercedes & a Lexus, guessing the price to maintain them would be more than I'm willing to spend at this point. Once I do trade in the VW, going back to Toyota or Hyundai an be done with it.
My friend at work is going to check my brake fluid & air filter tomorrow and let me know what needs doing. Am positive the air filter will need to be changed as it's been over 3 years since it was done, just checked my receipts. And the brake fluid was done at around 31K with the 30K service. Thinking it might need to be changed again but we'll see in the morning. Doubt I've ever done the interior air cleaner either as it's not listed on any receipt I have. Betting I'll need all three things done, will need the mechanic for only the brake fluid. Put off the spark plugs for the time being as it drives nicely according to my buddy.

So, now need to decide what to do. I know I want an XLE model even though it'll have 18" alloys. Only showing one XLE unit in black which won't work for me. But, still need to test drive one and bring it home to see how it'll fit on my side of the garage. Good thing I'm not in a hurry here as I plan to take my time. If I'd do anything this year, think I'd go in on December 30th and see what kind of inventory they've got by then. Want a Celestial Blue over ash interior or maybe even that two-toned dash they have which is pretty sharp looking. But glad I'm in no hurry here and can wait, can even wait till the end of the 2022 model year if need be. Just won't rush here and also plan to either lease or finance, just not sure. Come December, it'll be 7 years since I've done anything like this. So, looks like I'll put off some of the maintenance on the Golf just in case it's not here by years end.
Cautiously optimistic right now...cautiously optimistic going forward. But just glad they're here in the United States. Not going to get too excited here because I hate to be disappointed if things do not work out. But I'd be lying if I said I'm not happy right now because I am, I really am happy they're already at my dealer today! Will have to find out where they are when I go into work on Saturday as I'd love a test drive to be honest.

I leased a 2001 Accord Special Edition after riding in one that my supplier had. Never drove it till I took it home.
Never drove this 4xE but drove another one.
I think thats it.

Basically I've only test driven cars when we're shopping for my wife.
I hope to find a Maverick to at least test fit at a local dealer. If not, when mine comes in, I go see it, test drive, then decide if I want it. Weird way to do it though. But, did the same thing when I got the first Scion tC in the region.

It is a 4/4 CHR. You ever try one of those?
Yeah, it is UGLY but probably the same vehicle from behind the wheel.

Are you other 4xe people getting “ducked”. I’ve had two rubber duckys left on my Jeep so far. It’s a Jeep way of saying “I like your wrangler””
I only loaned those to you.

It’s the Blue Oyster Cult - Don’t fear the reaper
terms offered for a 24/10 lease is $445 DAS (1st payment only) and $445/month for a loaded Pro 4x, MSRP just a tick over $46k. Hard to not just take it and worry about liking it later!

Is that a real quote? That’s darn good these days.
But I think you said a while ago that your last vehicle, your TLX, was a bit on the large side for you, and a 2018 TLX is 191 inches long. A Nissan Frontier Pro 4X is 224 inches long. Do you really want a massive off-road-ready truck?
Just my 2 cents, but I'd stick with the Maverick your ordered, which is also a great deal on a much more livable and fun to drive vehicle.
Plus I'd trust Ford to design and build my truck over Nissan. My wife, who grew up in the country with Ford trucks, agrees.

From my pov it's seems like maybe you dodged a bullet when you missed that deal on the loaded Nissan Frontier Pro 4X? My guess, and it's purely a guess, is that if you sign the papers on one of those that in a relatively short time you might regret it.
Honestly, I think you'd be much happier driving your new Maverick. What you ordered seems sharp and should retain its resale value well.
Are you questioning your Maverick order because you'll likely need to buy it instead of lease it?
this would have been a temporary plan to hopefully get through the transition to a new house. and see how we like having one around. And really just a different option than the Maverick which would largely serve the same purpose.

I am still surprised, with consumer cars so close to delivery, there still aren't any driving reviews released. Really want to see some of those! I do need to touch base with some dealers to see if someone will give me a call in case they get one on the lot to check out.
