Turning radius of a Freightliner, but it'd go uphill pretty steep.

You'd get really good at 12 point turns I suppose.

What was this thread about?

Biden and his handlers just raised the 26MY mpg fleet average from 43 (set by the Trump administration) to an unrealistic 55...NOT being political, just stating FACTS.

Actually they raised it 25% from 32 mpg to 40mpg by 2026.

GM, Toyota and Honda were delivering stronger power numbers, greater efficiency and cleaner emissions with 3.5L and 3.6L V6 engines.

Everything I read was that the cost to upgrade the 4.0L to crank more power, be more fuel efficient and meet modern-day emissions regulations were simply prohibitive.

That goes against what I was told directly. In fact they had a prototype 5.0 upgrade that was very competitive with the 5.7 hemi at the time.

Just curious, but why did Stellantis move engine production from the US to Mexico recently? Afaik, the Pentastar was still being built in the US up until 2018 models, iirc. Nothing against foreign-built products, but just seems kind of shitty for a $50k+ 'built in Ohio' Jeep to have an imported engine.

The good old Pentastar is still made in Ohio.

Ops my bad had to look it up

The Pentastar engines are made in three different factories: Dundee Engine Plant, Trenton Engine Plant and Saltillo South Engine Plant.

Was checking through several window stickers a while back, and the 3.6L says Mexico, 2.0 is Italy, Diesel is Italy and the 392 is Mexico. Back in 2018, this wasn't the case.

Read the rest of the document. It does specify the Ram 1500, Grand Wagoneer, Wrangler and others.

At least you got a good trans.

My '99 Wrangler 4.0 with Flowmaster begged to differ.

One man's music is another's ....

I'm old and stuck in my ways, I admit. V8 rumble, V12 symphony, that's what sounds good to me.
