2020 2.0 difference.

[FUHL]

I'm very confused. I ordered a 2020 wrangler sport s 2.0. I was deciding between a black 19 or a 20 sting gray. I ultimately went with the 2020 as they were giving me a better deal on it. I was never once told that the model didnt have the etorque system.. so after reading, my jeep does not have the etorque system??

Only Sahara's have eTorque for 2020

wow I'm pretty upset about that. feel like I was lied to.

Honestly, for me, I'd prefer it without it. Lots of complexity there.

yea great point. wish I was more informed by the salesman. just adds to the crappy experience I had.

Yep, but drive that Jeep and you'll forget about it. Lots of power in that 2.0 and you don't have to worry about a 24v electrical system with cooling lines running underneath just waiting to hang up on a rock or branch.

ok I feel better . yea I was going to say before reading the thread I would have had no idea. love the power of the 2.0. HUGE upgrade from my inline 6 WJ!

Not trying to make you feel bad, but I wouldn't buy a 2.0L without eTorque. Zero Turbo lag. Start/stop is seamless.
Coolant lines are out of the way. I have a Rubicon and never had issues with it off-road.
Yes, more Complex, but it doesn't scare me. I use to be a mechanic, now an engineer.

Yeah... if you’re hanging up on the coolant lines, you have bigger problems more than likely.

There’s a skid plate protecting the battery and about a foot of the lines until they cross over the exhaust. From there they run back up to the engine on the inside of the driver frame rail like many vehicles’ fuel lines.

Looks like the LED package is available for the Sport S as well, I see it selectable when doing a build. Doesn't look like DRLs are part of it though, can anyone confirm? I wonder if they'll be direct swappable to the first generation 2.0.

yes I have the LED light package with my sport s. It includes LED headlights and fog lights. the side markers/turn signals /drls are halogen as well as the taillights

so the horsepower and torque numbers are unaffected whether the jeep has etorque or not ? correct ?

Nice thanks for the info. I'd like to have DRLs and factory LEDs on my 2018 but I believe it's also a software option issue (on top of hardware and wiring), I need to read up on it more but I believe it's selectable using a Tazer. I'm going to wait to see if anyone swaps the 2020 lights into the 2018 and what's involved.

Yes, that is correct. So 70 lbft are added for one half of a tire rotation from a stop if it operates exactly like the Ram is explained and contributes up to 1500 rpm at that standing start.

Peak numbers, yes they are the same.
From idle to 1500 RPM it gives 70 lb/ft.
Noticeable when cruising and come to a slightght hill, without cruise control on it will maintain RPM.
Also regenerative engine breaking. With cruise control on it will add a load to the engine to help maintain speed when going down a hill/mountain.

Don’t know difference but mine is lifted with heavy 35s 76lbs and is still very quick if spooled right. No complaints
