Call it lazy design all you want, however they are the only truck manufacturer that can be opened in any capacity from the bed with a closed cover. There is zero regulation for it in any capacity. 

If only there was some way to not build a critical highway along a crumbling coastal ridge... 

Yep. It’s why most manufacturers have decided hydrogen fuel cells are the way to go for the fuel. It can be an additive, but it sucks for that.

Expecting Jeep to not just copy the suburban and put uglier window cutouts is just being willfully ignorant

BMW and a few others have made and designed hilariously large capacity motors that do burn hydrogen like gasoline. They use compressed hydrogen gas to run the fuel. Fun thing is, there is zero carbon buildup over time. The larger engines are necessary to help with using the higher heat hydrogen burns at.

They used to have a company in the 80's that made hydrogen generators for home garages and used a hydrogen pump to push in with the fuel/air mix on old carburetor engines in an effort to get more power from less “fuel.” The issue they ran across was that it did almost nothing until you get to really high percentages.…

Time and place, you do what you can with what you have. Just stating how far tire tech has gone in the last 10 years, much less further back.

About the Kia Sorento Hybrid, the 2023 hybrid we got returns about 42mpg based off what the dash says and what my tank math backs up.
That will put its $1600 payoff for us versus the gas 24mpg, about an 18mpg difference, with gas at $3.50 about 3 pay periods to recoup. 

Slower.  Because Lexus.  Tehy gotta leave enough overhead for the bigger engined versions. 

The wrangler MPG varies too much to depend on a sub model.

The cost of the battery material went up 4 fold since the maverick was a standard option hybrid. That may play a part in it.

Install some gutters on the roadside. Should help those that know.

I set of modern radials may have.  However that is well after the fact. 

It has quite a few signs.
A guardrail would be worse for the people going off as it would throw them back into traffic.
The “fix” is to ridge the roadway so the tires have better grip in the snow and ice. The actual fix is have people drive the posted speed limit.

Chrysler products are rarely, if ever, the value or budget edition of anything. Despite how they are designed and built.
The Sorento is the smart buy in the segment if you want the 3 row.

Did they finally get rid of the depressingly bad third row? 

It’s a decent vehicle, however the third row is there as a thought and toss your quadriplegic friends into. For about the same money, you can get a Sorento plug in hybrid with an actual third row seat.
Again, this is a damn good car, however there are some issues and it all stems from the marketing team pushing…

Jeep is recommended to remove fender flares before going offroad.

No. It’s a common practice for mundane vehicles. The best is Jeeps telling you to remove fender flares and fender liners before going offroad.

Sounded a lot like a plastic fender liner on a knobby ass rubber wheel from here. Those things make a HELL of a racket. Plenty of first hand experience with it working at a collision repair shop.
The lights and wiper kicking on are fully automatic.  Its a law that when wipers are on headlights must be on.  So having…
