109 is the cheaper (Grand Wagoneer)version unless it was on a massive sale. The Series III Grand Wagoneers are like 125k.
My dealer gave me a Jeep Compass for a loaner
Sorry, this site changed it. 'Automatic Start Stop', or A S S, which is what it is.
Yes, they will have start/stop. It's not surprising since nearly everything with a gas engine has it nowadays.
It does have auto start/stop. Nothing wrong with the system. Saves fuel when sitting at stoplights. I don't understand why people want to disable it.
It’s more fuel efficient to blow stop signs and lights.
Many of us have given reasons why we disable it in other threads, yet you don't seem to understand or accept anyone else's reasoning besides your own. So I'll continue to disable it on every vehicle I own just because I know it bugs you.
I will disable it on mine as soon as I take possession of it. Thats got to be the dumbest system I have ever seen put in an automobile. I have it disabled in my chevy right now and I like having the control of when my auto turns off not the computer. I had a friend about get killed at an intersection because of this system. it's a long story I won't get into it here, but the Auto stop is not as reliable as you think it is. to each their own, but I won't let my family drive with it not disabled.
MDS is worse IMHO. You can disable start/stop with an inexpensive device. MDS is not as easy to deal with.Not sure which is worse, A.S.S. or MDS
MDS imo.Not sure which is worse, A.S.S. or MDS
The new start-stop on 2025s no longer have eTorque so I suspect will blow through 12V batteries and be less smooth.
our trucks our choice, our trucks our choice, our trucks our choice... Wait a second.... our body our choice? UhohNot sure why anyone else needs to know the reasons. I get the curiosity. But when people try to argue and try to convince others not to disable it is when it becomes annoying. Suffice it to say our trucks our choice.
Then you don't have to worry about auto start/stop either because you never stopIt’s more fuel efficient to blow stop signs and lights.
You can keep MDS off by using the gear limiter switch on your steering wheel, or putting the truck in tow/haul mode. Or with a Pulsar.
No different than arguing why it's a bad system, and trying to justify your choice. Works both ways. If I hear a convincing reason, I can accept it. Haven't heard one yetNot sure why anyone else needs to know the reasons. I get the curiosity. But when people try to argue and try to convince others not to disable it is when it becomes annoying. Suffice it to say our trucks our choice.
Here's a convincing reason. I love the sound of cold starts. A\SS allows me to hear that every minute I stop even if other people think i'm stalling out and juicing it,
I suspect it's because just because people can't see or think of a logic reason, they may still be open to the possibility that someone might have a logical reason they didn't think of.
I've not really paid attention to people's reasons for disabling, but what you describe often occurs when the reasons for disabling it are unsupported or defy reason. Opposing views on a forum like that are very valuable. Many people reading online forums are very easily manipulated into spending time and money on things they really don't need just because someone else told them it was important. Reminds me of a recent thread where someone suggest an oil catch can was an essential upgrade for the Hemi. There is no benefit to an oil catch can on a port injected engine as the valves are being constantly cleaned with injected fuel.
Suffice it to say our trucks our choice.
And you can keep start/stop off by pushing a single button. What's your point? How much does a pulsar cost? Autostop eliminator is $99. When I bought one it was $30 off.
