After months of contemplating I finally ordered my 4xe two days ago. This will be my second Jeep, and my first brand new one. I previously had a 2010 JKUR.
I was reading the manual regarding the 4xe to get prepared since I have anywhere between 2-4 months for delivery time. I came across something that concerned me as someone that is going to be doing adventuring in the Jeep. It states that in weather -22 or lower and 131 and higher that the Jeep will NOT start. Now I don't envision myself going out to places where this type of extreme weather is expected, but as someone that lives in the PNW it is something I have to consider since some of the destinations I'd like to visit can go down this low, such as Montana/North Dakota, etc.
Obviously, my biggest fear would be getting stuck somewhere without service and a Jeep that refuses to start. Can someone explain why this would be the case, and if there is any way to avoid this issue?
I plan on doing more overlanding style activities and bought the 4xe as an eco-conscious person, and someone that enjoyed the extra weight making the ride smoother. I intend on doing road trips to Montana, and one day going from Canada all the way down the West Coast into Mexico. I know the Jeep will always start regardless of it having a charge in the hybrid battery or not, but what exactly happens when you happen to be in an extreme temperature situation. I was watching Drew Simms on YouTube who is living the life I dream of and living out of his dream and he was recently in Idaho during -17 degree weather. Being that Idaho is a short drive from me in Oregon I can envision myself being in a similar situation. Am I completely overthinking this and just adding stress to myself, or am I really going to be SOL in a situation like that?
Thanks,
Edit: I purchased a 4xe Rubicon
