4cyl vs 6cyl

[Jeep Junkie]

Guys, have you noticed, you have to floor the Pentastar to get power out of it, it doesn't do a thing in less than 3000 rpm And since that Pentastar engineer said frequent WOT runs are good for it so I enjoy reving it, my oil pressure hits 82 psi many times a day

Turbos don't like stop and go traffic or lots of stop signs/lights. They will really take a hit in fuel economy if that's part of your daily.

My old CJ5 with a AMC360 and 3spd auto got about the same mileage as the 4cyl turbo subaru we had, when strictly driven around town. The Jeep launched alot harder also.

Back to your question, I say go with the v6. Oh wait you can't get the good v6 (EcoDiesel) anymore, not new anyways.
Can the v6 e-torque still be had???

I'd agree with others, go test drive both engines and use that to help decide.

No the eTorque is gone, it was available until 2023 model

@Jeep Junkie

If i give it too much throttle it feels like its going to pull a wheelie.

You're running 37" tires right, did you re-gear?

37s and 4.88

I was wondering how your jeep was that bloody fast on 37's. I figured you either re-geared or had Nitrious-oxide.

4.88 turned my lil thing back to a rocket ship but my mpg

Well, you've got a beautiful built up jeep. You're driving the coolest vehicle on the road IMO. Comparing it to my Xterra with factory size tires, which is something like 30-31". It gets about 17 mpg. All things considered I say you're doing pretty good as long as you're not traveling across country.

Thanks!
In August I want to do Black Bear Pass so I need to save for gas Around 3000 miles, 15 tanks of gas probably.
