Does anyone know why Jeep isn't offering the V6 engine right now? I was told they have stopped taking orders for most trims with the 3.6L engine, both manual and automatic. I think they even stopped the Eco Diesel in some trims as well, I know the Rubicon for sure. I can't imagine any reason why they would stop for "normal" conditions. I thought it could be something to do with 2023 orders, but that seems too far off (if it's in October time like last year). The only 3 other ideas I had could be;
1) They're putting in the 3 Liter Hurricane engine in sooner than expected.
2) There's another parts shortage and they can't build those engines fast enough.
3) They're trying to save parts for 2023 orders so they have product to actually build
I hate to say it, but I really think it's #2. My friend Jeff said he got a call from Jeep saying they had changed the engine on his order (He had the 3.6L), so that was disappointing, but he's just happy they didn't cancel his order entirely. Has this happened to anyone else? I have a gladiator on order, and so far they don't seem to be affected and can still be ordered, but I think I understand it since they don't have the 2 liter turbo as another option. I almost had my friend convinced to get a Wrangler in the same color, but he would only want a manual.
Long story short...WTF? Does anyone have any idea why they're gone, or when they could be back??
