Guess we’re not seeing the Recon this year and it also means a longer wait for a fully electric vehicle that is off road capable and not $100k. Bummed…
Just found another article mentioning the Recon and stating it’ll hit dealerships early next year. I don’t know that I believe it since we haven’t heard anything about orders yet, but here it is...
Another Electrek article not providing any additional information, but at least claiming the Recon will arrive next year and providing some more media coverage:

So…just the Gladiator at NAIAS and not even a 4xe variant. Pretty disappointing. Last major auto show is in LA in November. I’ve booked flights and bought tickets to attend. Who knows maybe I’ll get lucky and it’ll be there? In other news, Electrek has posted a new article headlining the Recon...
Was getting hopeful that the Recon would be at the Detroit Auto Show, but now feeling less confident. Jeep is planning to show the 2024 updated Gladiator and I’m thinking it is unlikely they’d show both. Seems like it might be the New York Auto Show all over again.
Just realized that 4xe day last year where the Recon was announced happened on September 8th. The event was announced on August 31st. If the pattern is repeated this year, we could hear about the next 4xe day this week and get another presentation prior to NAIAS in Detroit. Could be a good way...
I still want to see a Tesla NACS agreement come from Stellantis. It’s obviously good to have more charging options, but being on one standard port across all North American EVs is critical as well.
I agree. I had this same thought, but I think it’s likely wishful thinking on our part or at least the idea of the Recon releasing with NACS built in is. We can hope though! My best guess now on when we’ll get more info is at NAIAS in Detroit. Who knows, maybe we could get lucky and learn...
Some news! It seems we may get some information in June based on this Motor Trend article:

Agreed. On the software side, the little I’ve heard about it in the Avenger has been positive. I expect the interface on the Recon to be a bit different, but it’s encouraging regardless.
I heard from my dealer yesterday that it’s looking like orders for the Recon will start 3rd or 4th quarter. That lines up with the Detroit and LA Auto shows. Guess we still have quite a bit of waiting around before we hear any details…
Whelp…it was mentioned at least 🤷‍♂️ and the new footage of it driving was cool. Maybe someone will post some screen shots from that that can be scrutinized…it did look to have more wheel well gap in the video. So maybe air suspension is true? And also there was mention of a panoramic sunroof...
