36k with a similar (different heads) Alfa 2.0. No issues
50k with my 19 Sahara 2.0 eTorque (35’s, mods in sig) no issues.
33k on my 21 Rubicon 3.6 eTorque that is stock. No issues
Which Jeep do we enjoy driving most? The 2.0. Same mpg (within 1 mpg consistently) at this time.
I don’t get the dislike of the noise of the 4cyl. It’s retro to this former engine builder but I guess I’m used to some engines not sounding so …..quiet. I enjoy the mechanical sound. I don’t need exhaust burble unless it’s the new 392.
In the mountains, the 2.0 lost some power but the power loss in the Rubicon was much more noticeable as was the extra downshifting and rpms the 3.6 needed. Which…that makes me wonder about band /clutch pack longevity in the transmissions of a 2.0 vs a 3.6 in hilly or mountainous terrain.
One plus, if you add an engine skid, it would then be easier to change the filter on a 3.6 vs a 2.0. At least with my Asfir skid. Gets messy but I’ll be fixing that soon.
