Who gives a shit. It runs good.We havent even got into the amount of fuel pressure u need to run on a DI engine yet which can be problematic in and of itself...
I don't think the cost saving is the reason. That would make sense, if they had banned it also from the Sahara. However, only Sports and Rubicos come now without the e-torque, while the Sahara keeps it.They lowered the price of the 2.0L so perhaps it was cost savings to allow that as the e-torque parts can't be cheap - particularly the battery setup.
You can get a Rubicon with the 2.0T eTorque again. The 2.0T with eTorque is back for the new "top of the line" Rubicon based Recon Edition. The 2.0T eTorque is the only engine available with the Recon.I don't think the cost saving is the reason. That would make sense, if they had banned it also from the Sahara.

I think more about technical reasons (maybe because saharas and rubicons are usually more used for off-roading?). The same (unknown) reason behind offering only the all-time 4x4 in the Sahara and not been available in the other trims...
The Sahara is sort of the "high tech" Jeep. The only one with Select-Trac, CV front axle, etc, etc. Perhaps they thought having the e-torque on that model would help draw those buyers who wanted more technology.I don't think the cost saving is the reason.

As usual, the 2-door gets left out again...Maybe they did it do Rubicon owners could use the diesel fuel tank as a second tank and double their range.
lol - I love internet speculating!
I suspect there's space issues getting all the diesel garbage to fit in the SWB. 2 door already has a small fuel tank, for example.As usual, the 2-door gets left out again...
Who said im running A carb?Fuel injectors take more pressure than carburetors, good luck with your fancy EFI engine.
I know, but that is only for that version. All the regular Rubicons come now without e-torque... Im just curious to know what is the reason behind that change.You can get a Rubicon with the 2.0T eTorque again.

I think it's a balance between CAFE fines, cost of equipment, expected sales, and selling price.I know, but that is only for that version. All the regular Rubicons come now without e-torque... Im just curious to know what is the reason behind that change.
