( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In this episode of TFL Car Chat, the team dives straight into an exclusive early look at the all-new, highly anticipated Jeep Recon. From its 670-horsepower output and 0–60 time to its removable doors, power top, and 222-mile EV range, the guys debate whether Jeep's boxy new electric off-roader can justify its $67,000 price tag. The crew also shares updates from the TFL garage, bidding farewell to their classic '90s Land Rover Defender 130 pickup and their budget 100-Series Toyota Land Cruiser project. Finally, they reveal their newest long-term fleet addition: a 3-year-old Audi e-tron GT bought for a massive $70,000 discount off its original MSRP, breaking down why used high-end EVs might be the ultimate luxury performance bargain.
