2021 JLU vs 2020 Grand Cherokee Acceleration

[Bruce Willys]

JL/JLU Sport is geared higher than the Rubicon so would accelerate slower.

Don't forget weight, tires, and LSD:

2018 2 door Sport: 3797 lbs
2018 2 door Rubicon: 4087 lbs

That's almost 300 lbs lighter, not an insignificant amount. Plus I bet that the street tires would hook up better than the K02's. Lmao, Wrangler racing..

I read this earlier, and just ran out to pick something up, I realized what the OP's mistake was.

You should have got the 2.0T, then there would be no 3.6 regrets

We’ve previously tested the Wrangler’s largely carryover 285-hp 3.6-liter V-6 and would go so far as to say that that Jeep is quick for a 4469-pound body-on-frame machine that appears to have been designed to help Richard Leakey hunt for Australopithecus remains. That one needed 6.8 seconds to get from zero to 60 mph. With the turbo four—closely related to the engine in the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio—the Wrangler is even quicker. Despite being slightly down on power compared with the six, it hits 60 in 6.5 seconds. It seems relevant to mention that the four is built in Termoli, Italy, and that Italians hate losing races.​

Or get the “blistering fast” 2 door with 6mt + 3.6 that does it in 6.1 seconds if you want to win the battle of who’s the least slow:

“bang”. Although who cares?
