Could be. If their CAFE numbers are affected by the popularity of the base 3.6, this could be their way to try and incentivize people to move to the 3.6 BSG or 2.0T, on the basis that they are more powerful. But for $500, I'd be happy that they still offer the base 3.6, when the alternative is only having BSG engines.

You would think that they would make one of the other two the base model engine and up charge the Pentastar V6 if it is based on CAFE.

The way it stands currently (looks to stand) there is no free engine option. No matter what you choose there is an upcharge...

I suspect it has less to do with CAFE and more to do with maintaining a low starting MSRP for advertising reasons while still getting the average build price up.

The BSG isn't going to affect maximum torque or horsepower. However, It could affect low RPM torque and horsepower which won't really show up on paper.

I really hope BSG is an option for the 3.6. Otherwise we’ll have to find a 2019.

Is this a guess or confirmed?
If confirmed, is there a HP or Torque gain with the BSG?

In the Dodge Ram with the 3.6 E-Torque, it ads 90 lb. ft of torque. If we had that much in the JL, that is some serious power! Yeah baby!!!

I’ve already bought my MY19, but curious what the downside of the BSG on the 3.6 would be.

That would be some nice torque!

Wish one of the dealers or factory insiders would release all the information already.

Can anyone confirm this? If so I need to get an order in.

Confirmed through 2 dealers in the last 24 hours. No more 2019 factory builds.

I want to keep it as simple as possible. An extra battery and all those cooling lines have me worried down the road. We keep our vehicles a long time. It may very well be a solid system that’s mostly trouble free....or not.

I am with you there. From what I have read about the 3.6 E-Torque in the Dodge Ram, it adds 90 lb ft of torque under 1500 rpm. That is HUGE!!! Not sure we will see the same in the JL.

I am excited about it too!

I tried to order a 2020 MOAB (24M) today but it seems to no longer be available.

If they truly stopped producing 2019's, what happens to thosee who already had an order entered but not produced?

Since there's a price increase, but you've already negotiated the price, what happens? Do they simply run the order at 2019 price or cancel the order and re-enter it as a 2020?

2019 will,still be built until the MY changeover. so the next few weeks will be to build out all the 2019 orders in the system. my guess is they know how many 2019 orders are outstanding, and backed into a 2020 start date as they know how many can be built per day. old date was July 22nd for 2020 to be built.

it does not seem like anything major changing other than price and maybe the 3.6bsg. I personally don't want the bsg, so no difference to me.

Was that at a dealership or the online build tool? Thanks

Dan's Jeep Westboro MA. I wanted the ETorq and waited for the 2020. When they tried to configure the MOAB today they said there was no code for it now on the 2020 order menu. We configured a 2019 MOAB last week as an example of what i wanted.

Base 3.6 no charge
BSG 3.6 1K upcharge
BSG 2.0 Turbo 2K upcharge

Are there noticeable advantages/disadvantages to each of the engine choices? Besides I'm assuming that the turbo gets better gas mileage.
