Jeep Talk Show

A Show About Jeeps!

Woman Abandons Jeep!

Toledo Jeep Fest

Are you going to this year’s Toledo Jeep Fest?  Well, you’re too stinking late, cause it’s over for 2024.  Chris and Nicky G were there with thousands of their Jeep-loving friends!  You can see the many videos that they shot interviewing people at this major annual event.  Jerry Huber reports there were 1,400 jeeps in the parade.

A storm on Friday afternoon/evening caused the cancelation of events, but TJF was in full-blown go on both Saturday and Sunday.  Did you see Chris or Nicky G?  Did you get a JTS sticker?

Guess the top towing capacity SUV for 2024

I think the keyword here is SUV.  A full-sized pickup surely beats this, but if you’re towing a big boat and taking the big family along, comfort and towing are important.

This is a Jeep show, so of course the top towing SUV is a Jeep.  A Jeep Wagoneer!  Towing capacity is 10k lbs!  The same towing capacity is used for the Ford F-150 lightning.

Payload of 1,150 to 1,490 lbs and maximum cargo capacity of 116.2 cubic feet.

I’ll just point out here that the Gladiator with max tow is some 7,600 lbs of towing capacity, and you can take it off-road as well.

Guess the BEST selling SUV for 2024, in Italy?

We’ve talked about it before, it’s the Jeep Avenger!  The Avenger is an European-produced subcompact, called a B-SUV.

The Jeep Avenger offers a range of powertrain options to suit different driving preferences. It is available with an all-electric version, the Avenger-e, providing a sustainable driving experience. For those who prefer a traditional combustion engine, a turbocharged 1.2-liter inline-three-cylinder delivers 100 horsepower. Additionally, the e-HYBRID variant combines the benefits of electric and gasoline power for enhanced efficiency. By the end of the year, Jeep plans to introduce the 4xe model, a hybrid with all-wheel-drive (AWD) off-road capability and versatility.

Woman abandons Jeep!

A 57-year-old Floridian woman driving her jeep when it became disabled on a railroad track!  Hmm sounds like an insurance job.  Sadly the RED JLU looks to be totaled, see the provided picture in our show notes.

It’s a mess.  It was struck by a CSX freight train with 80 railcars.  Ironically it was transporting hundreds of Jeep JLs and JLUs

NO NOT REALLY

No one was injured in the crash.
