I went with Prestige in Longmont, though they are 120 miles from my home in Woodland Park. Based on other experiences here, I first emailed Faricy Boys in nearby Colorado Springs with the details of my desired 2020 JLUR build, mentioning that I was attracted to the 7% below invoice deals being...

eTorque on the 3.6L Pentastar... been waiting since 2018 launch!!! Body color matched dash panels Auto up windows

Might this entire two-battery setup have been put in place as a precursor to the eventual adaptation of eTorque/BSG on the 3.6L? It seems that would establish the basic circuitry that eTorque will use to support ESS, thereby simplifying the manufacturing changeover. My understanding is that the...

I'm not disagreeing with you... but it just seems that there is still some potential ambiguity that could be misinterpreted. Your original question simply used the word "hybrid", so I'm wondering which of the two hybrids did he think you were asking about? I would expect (hope?) the 3.6L...

A bit of clarification, please... in reference to the term "hybrid" and re-tooling in May, does this concern the "mild hybrid" 2019 JL 3.6L Pentastar with eTorque/BSG or does it refer to the rumored 2020 JL PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle)?

Argh... I have been waiting for the eTorque 3.6 Pentastar on the 2019 since late winter. Have been very encouraged with the glowing reports of BSG implementation on the 2019 Ram 1500, which seems to more than compensate for start-stop hesitation issues. Hoping that once the 3.6 eTorque Pentastar...

Looks like BFG KM2 M/T tires mounted... surprised that it's not the new KM3.

Just saw a new video on the Autocar (British motoring magazine) channel on YouTube with an off-road review of the 2-door 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon posted on July 12, 2018. This is a European specs JL with a 4 cylinder in-line 2.2L diesel with 8-speed automatic transmission and appears to...

First review I have seen on the implementation of eTorque in the 2019 Ram 1500 (though this was with the 5.7L Hemi rather than the 3.6L Pentastar)... encouraging remarks on an apparently seamless eTorque integration with auto stop-start functionality...

Yes please! :)

As I said earlier, "I'm no electrician, so not sure if that would cause any issues with the system..."... so please explain what the issues might be and, if possible, how one might get around such issues. Thanks!

Yeah... the light finally went on and I realized AUX would need to be selected on the infotainment system shortly after posting, negating any alternate input. Not a big deal, particularly when off road, since I don't usually listen to music when on the trail anyway (I try to tell myself that I'm...

I'm looking at getting the Cobra 75 CB and have read that a separate speaker is a good idea because of weak sound output from the handheld mike. There is an audio output jack on the remote mounting box for that very purpose and the standard solution is to purchase and mount a small external...

A valid response for 4LO... but why not have access to eTorque when ESS has been turned off while off-road in 4H? Certainly the torque would be as welcome there as when launching from any full stop, whether the ESS is on or off. I don't see any reason why ESS would necessarily prevent the rest...

The 2018 owners manual says "It is recommended that the Start/Stop System be disabled during off-road use." Likewise, Start/Stop (ESS) is automatically disabled when the transfer case is in 4LO. This is all well and good for off-roading. The integration of eTorque/BSG and the ESS system for the...

Another good video on the BSG or eTorque from FCA...

How are you liking the Barricade Adventure HD Bumper? Would be interested to hear pros and cons (besides the Halogen/LED fog light issue). How is the quality of construction, fit, and finish? This bumper appears to be an excellent value and I like both the practical aspects (D-ring mounts) and...

From what I have gathered, the full 90+ pounds of torque applied by the BSG takes place within the first 1400 RPM and then drops off to essentially nothing as the Pentastar takes over... so you are right about no help pulling a grade at 4000+ RPM. But those a 90+ lbs of torque kick in at full...

I'll be retiring next year and moving from Virginia to the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado... a 2019 JLUR is an integral part of the plan. My new home will be at about 7,000 ft elevation, with many roads and trails exceeding 11,000 ft. I know that the turbo in the 2.0L has some...

Howdy! (waving) I've really caught the itch and am fitting the JL into my master plan for retirement in conjunction with a planned move from Virginia to southwest Colorado... as of midnight tonight I am exactly 345 days from retirement! But I'm getting ahead of myself, so here's my story... I...
