is the all new willys 4 by e worth it find out in today's video
so today out of absolutely nowhere jeep decided to drop a bombshell and release the willy's four by
e now this comes only a few days after the four by e day that they had where they revealed the
new recon some of the new plug-in hybrids as well as the wagoneer 4x8 you would have thought that
during that day they would have released also the willy's four by e but apparently not now it was
right about that time that i was on youtube and i saw what looked to be two kind of leaked videos so
it looked like the leaked videos of a stingray willy's four by e when i watched the footage
this footage looked a hundred percent legit and when i say look legit i could even notice
sometimes in the back you can see what looked to be jeeps testing and proving grounds in michigan
as well as all the decaling and everything on it just looked it looked like it should have been
there so there was an american flag it was all in blue as well as in the back if you guys know the
willy's trim has a four-wheel drive logo up above it it said electric on there so for me i thought
you know this was probably supposed to be released maybe it was in a european market because those
two channels were european-based but everything else took us specs so i got myself thinking maybe
this is going to be released but honestly i'm not going to do anything i'm not going to talk about
it until it actually comes out well fast forward a few days it came out so the willys 4 by e is now
available to order it's out there and you can now see it at the detroit auto show so the stingray
one was pretty neat to see on there and i gotta say i loved all the features that came with it the
coolest thing though it is comes in at the lowest price point so 53 995 is going to be the price
point for the willies excluding the destination charge but compared to the rubicon and the sahara
which are pushing upper 50s and even 60s it comes in at a great price point if you've been
looking for a four by e but didn't want to pay that much for it and also wanted the off-road
capability of a jeep now i will say i was a little bit skeptical when i saw this one come out but i
think it leads the charge for what we could see in the future four by east could be a little bit
cheaper and i hope that we end up getting a sport or a sport s trim that's gonna be a lot
cheaper and still get you into the electric lifestyle so the big elephant in the room is
is this jeep worth it now personally i think it should be a little bit cheaper but as i just said
to ryan i think everything should be a little bit cheaper if i'm looking at this at the store
or buying a part for my jeep i think everything should be a little cheaper but in my opinion i
think a base price at 54 000 is kind of pushing the envelope considering the fact that with a
base willys you don't even get the uconnect 4 with the 8.4 inch screen you still have to option that
kind of thing which i think if you're paying that much you ought to be able to get a screen that's a
little bit bigger than 7 inches and a couple other features that i just think for the price point
might need to be improved upon a little bit but what this does mean for me is that they
are looking towards the lower price point vehicles and starting to go into other trims
i think that we're going to hopefully see in the future maybe some bigger power plants behind the
four by e engine as well as maybe a sport trim or a sport s that's in the 40 to 45 000 mark i
think that would absolutely sell off the shelves because for a lot of you folks watching this video
you're going to use this jeep to not only get the open air and the freedom of it but it's
going to be a daily commuter a daily driver just like my extreme recon behind me i daily commute
this thing and i got to tell you guys how much i enjoy driving this and i think you guys would too
with a 4 by e that can go all electric back and forth to work one thing i really wish
we would see on the 4 by e trims would be the addition of the xtreme recon package
it is a great value and i'm not sure why they're doing it maybe it becomes part of the weight part
of the gbwr i'm not really sure but jeep if you're watching please add that to the four by e trims
i think that would be a great addition and i'd probably really be into one if i could do that
right from the factory but you guys need to let me know what's going on in the comments drop a
comment below what you think of the willys 4x8 what you think of all the you know the plug-in

comment there until next time though i am matt from dirt road cred get out there and earn yours
you
