How do I
even begin to describe this Jeep? For the past 10 years, she has been the
most reliable and hardworking vehicle that I could have ever hoped for when I
was looking for my first car at the age of 15. Edna Jean, as my family
and I have fondly dubbed this old but dependable Cherokee, has faithfully
served me on my journey from my home in South Carolina to college in Virginia
and Connecticut, and now to the beginnings of my professional life in New York
City. This car would surely be by my side for years to come, if not for
the high parking fees and stressful driving conditions associated with having a
car while leaving on the island of Manhattan. Edna Jean was born to run
free in the country, and it is my dream that someone will see her value and care
for her as much as I have. This is not to say that she is without her problems. At nearly 185,000 miles, Edna Jean is showing her age. Although the car has driven the entire length of the East Coast from Maine to Florida, in snow, rain, and sunlight, the mechanical wear of so many miles is taking its toll. In recent months, especially during abrupt changes in weather, the engine is slow to start, and a small cloud of blue smoke can be seen when she is stopped at a red light or a toll booth. After a recent fix, she does not leak oil or any other fluids, but the AC system needs to be charged with refrigerant and perhaps repaired. Air will still blow on high, but it is not cool enough for a hot summer in the city. There also may be a problem with one of the electrical switches for the AC, as the air will only blow on high or not at all. Her tires and brakes have been replaced recently, but she is due for a small alignment as the steering wheel pulls slightly to the right. These mechanical problems may sound overwhelming, but this car is a true workhorse, and she has never left me stranded somewhere. I still drive the Jeep almost everyday to look for street parking spots, and Edna starts and handles even the biggest traffic jams and New York highways with ease. (Honestly, these Jeep engines are insanely powerful) As with any car that has been around for 20 years, this car has its fair share of battle scars. The most obvious of these cosmetic problems can be found on the front passenger side fender, where the metal is dented, the reflector is broken, and the plastic trim is missing a few small parts (please see photographs.) This dates from an incident seven years ago, when my youthfulness at the healm of an inline 6, 4.0L engine on a rainy day led me into a ditch on the side of the road at 40 mph. In true Jeep fashion, Edna Jean was still running when I hit, and I was able to back her out of the ditch and drive her straight home. In addition to this dent and a few other exterior markings, the northern weather has begun to remove the clear coat in the driver side rear corner of the car, and the beginnings of a small amount of rust can be seen. Please see the photographs for other exterior cosmetic problems, such as wear on the trim around the windows and the roof rack, and glued passenger side mirror. The interior of the Jeep has always been extremely comfortable during my long drives to various parts of the East Coast, but it does not look like it once did during Edna’s golden years. Although it is still clean with no major spills or stains, there are other problems that you will notice on the interior. After years of trying to repair the drooping headliner with one “miracle solution” after another, I removed the upholstery and the foam underlay, in order to be able to raise my head without feeling the cloth and foam dust all around me. I have also repeatedly tried to reattach the rearview mirror in its proper place on the windshield, but to no avail each time. Maybe you will have more luck with that. There is one small puncture on the driver’s side seat, but other than that the upholstery is in good condition. There are also a number of homemade modifications to the physical interior of the Jeep that might be recognizable. The hood release latch cable was recently broken, thanks to a few heavy-handed mechanics during an oil change, so my Dad and I replaced it with a cabinet doorknob that is attached and operable. Another modification was about trying to repair the trajectory of the driver’s side door swing, so a rubber “bumper” bolted to the lower side of the door frame helps to raise the door and ensure it latches fully. In short, everything on the interior works, just not necessarily the way it was intended to from the factory. I hope the mechanical and cosmetic problems that I have described here do not deter you from making the purchase. It is a great car, able to be driven home today, and with a little love it will keep on serving you faithfully as it did for me for years to come. The asking price is $900.00, but I am willing to negotiate if Edna Jean is going to a good home. The car is located in New York City (Manhattan / Lower East Side), and the buyer is responsible for picking up the car or paying for shipping / transportation fees. If required, I can also deliver the car for a fee to certain destinations in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Marchionne wants to nearly double Jeep sales by 2018
Thu, Jan 15 2015Jeep just keeps breaking its own sales records. A couple of weeks ago, the off-road brand announced its worldwide sales exceeded one million units for the first time, marking its third consecutive global record and the fifth straight year of sales increases here in the US. But FCA isn't about to stop there. TheDetroitBureau.com reports that chief executive Sergio Marchionne, speaking to the media at the Detroit Auto Show, has announced a new sales target for the Jeep division: By 2018, he wants to see Jeep sell 1.9 million units in a single year, nearly doubling its all-time record. The expansion will surely encompass new products, with the all-new Renegade just warming up, a next-generation Wrangler on the way and a reborn Grand Wagoneer in the pipeline, as well. But the focus of FCA's preparations to reach the new target is on production capacity. While it's not clear whether the Toledo, OH plant where half of all the Jeeps sold around the world are currently built will continue to host the next Wrangler, FCA is expanding production overseas. The Renegade is already being built alongside the Fiat 500X in Italy, where another 1,000 workers are being re-hired and where another factory is set to start producing Jeeps, as well. A Renegade-based variant for the South American market will soon be built in Brazil, and by the end of this year, Jeep aims to start local production in China.
2016 Jeep Renegade Dawn of Justice is a Superhero special [w/video]
Mon, Feb 22 2016The Jeep Renegade doesn't fit the usual image for the Batmobile, but it seems Bruce Wayne is willing to use what's around in a pinch. Thanks to the compact crossover's appearance for a scene in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie, a new version now offers customers a blacked-out CUV that looks tailor made for the Dark Knight. Buyers can order the Renegade Dawn of Justice Special Edition in an exclusive shade called Carbon Black or a lighter Granite Crystal with a gloss black roof. To continue the dark look, Jeep fits shiny black trim and 18-inch wheels in the same color, and there's an emblem that blends Superman and Batman's logos. The shadowy appearance continues inside on the cloth seats and gloss trim, but metal diamond accents on the gearshift and door handles offer some contrast. The company bases the Dawn of Justice edition on the Latitude 4x4 trim with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder and nine-speed automatic. It comes standard with the Popular Equipment Group, which combines remote start, a power driver's seat, and dual-zone climate control. The Dawn of Justice Special Edition retails for $27,245 (after $995 destination) and is available now. Company spokesperson Todd Goyer tells Autoblog that Jeep expects production to be in the "low thousands." You can watch Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne speeding around in a Renegade below in the ad for this superhero-themed version. The film hits theaters on March 25. This content is hosted by a third party.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe's hybrid powertrain: Could it be headed to other FCA products?
Fri, Sep 4 2020On its own, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid is a big deal for the brand and the model line. It's the most powerful and most efficient Wrangler by significant margins, and it doesn't give up the off-road capability that makes the Wrangler so special. But another great thing about this hybrid powertrain is its potential to be transplanted into other FCA vehicles. Just to recap, the layout of the Wrangler's hybrid powertrain, front to back, is as follows: engine, clutch, electric motor, clutch, transmission. The engine is the same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that's a standalone engine for the Wrangler. The transmission and electric motor are sort of one unit, with the motor and clutch replacing the torque converter of the transmission. And the transmission itself is the ubiquitous eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. Its transmission code name is 8HP75PH. The ZF eight-speed is available in every FCA product with a longitudinally-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with variations in the amount of power and torque it can handle. Not only that, but the Ram 1500 and 2500 and the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator all have powertrains that utilize the non-hybrid version of the 8HP75 transmission specifically. Even the gear ratios for that transmission as well as the 8HP70 used in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 are nearly identical to those in the 8HP75PH. And a Fiat-Chrysler representative confirmed that the transmission portion of the hybrid drivetrain is basically carry-over from the regular 8HP75. So a transplant could be a relatively simple process. As for which of these models would be the most likely to receive the hybrid powertrain first, the Jeep Gladiator and Ram 1500 would seem like good bets, since they likely have the most similar transmissions, and the Gladiator in particular because of its closely-related underpinnings to the Wrangler. Both are also highly profitable trucks that sell well and could justify the development costs of adapting another powertrain. And in the case of the Ram, there's the impending F-150 hybrid to think about. Although Ram isn't going after a fully electric model, a PHEV could be a nice middle ground. A potential limiting factor would be whether the hybrid powertrain would be sufficiently robust to handle heavy payload and towing demands, particularly over longer periods.
