Folks in high altitude states: are you happy with the 3.6? I'm specifically interested in the 3.6 eTorque with the automatic. I drove a 2.0Turbo briefly at the Denver auto show a few years ago, and thought it was a kick in town. However, I'm really a fan of the Pentastar 3.6 I've driven in some other FCA rear wheel drive products. I've never driven a 3.6 eTorque, and it's kind of hard to find one to test drive right now. I have the 3.2 Cherokee and it's a bit of a dog in town, unfortunately. Awesome off road and in sport mode.
I'm planning to order a Rubicon. Biggest tires I would ever get would be 35". Also will be towing up to 3000lbs.
From my research, I believe it could be a bit better for hauling heavy loads and the eTorque is less prone to start/stop issues. Right now it's about a $1400 upgrade cost over the turbo, which is obviously a quicker engine. Gas mileage seems to be a wash, especially considering regular fuel vs premium.
