The 3.6 really sounds good if you open up the exhaust I think.

Definitely one of the better sounding six cylinders out there.

I know my 24 sounds different than my 18, it sounds better

Prius owners are like Subaru owners, they love their Subie and Priu. The new Camry gives you almost as good feel mileage as the prius, but nope, Prius owners like their Priu

6 are in Masserratis. All you need to know. Wind it up it sounds just like one, mostly, if I imagine.

Well, Maserati is the Olive Garden of Italian automobiles... I'm not sure having a 3.6 from a Chrysler minivan under the hood of one is a point of pride for those owners.

It's not that they like the Prius specifically it's that they like to virtue signal. The Prius name is what does it.

Exactly. They think they are sophisticated high class people and we must be barbatic cave men driving around in Jeeps.

Eh, they're half right.

Jeep should just make 5-cylinder only so we can all get along.

It's hard for me to understand why two engines with nearly the same horsepower are offered.

This , a squishy torqued NA V6 or a T-4 with slightly more to a 470 lb ft V8 , diesel dropped. Where TF is the mid level, like a T-6 ?
With constant arguing over essentially what should be the Base engine.

Personal preference.
I chose the 3.6 for two reasons:
1) My commute is short. <2 miles. Doesn’t give the turbo’s enough time to warm up, which may cause issues.
2) 6MT. Only available with the 3.6.

I’m sure the 2.0 is great. The 3.6 has been around a long time and has been a proven engine.

Having said all that, what I would prefer is the 2.8 diesel with the 6MT.

2 miles is plenty of time for that little engine to come up to temp. Not really any difference for a turbo'd engine vs a N/A as far as condensation build up from short trips.

The v6 is proven.... To eat rockers and crap out camshafts.

Living in Los Angeles were worried about our gas mileage and crappy gas prices. Looking for Rubicon two-door or four-door and I'm debating if I should go 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder. I drive 30 mi a day to and from work and I'd like to go out and explore so cal as much as i can. I know the six cylinder is reliable as hell, but what about the 4-cylinder? Does anyone have any pros and cons for it?

Six-cylinder sounds right for you. I drive 20 mi for work to and from, 40 miles per day on top of the 200 miles we do every weekend. My EcoDiesel is fantastic. Even with 35s, I'm still getting 21 MPGs driving around at 90 mph.

Back when I was rocking 32s, I could easily get 24 to 26 MPGs depending how much I slowed it down. However the best I've done is 33 MPGs when I was doing an MPG run with a max speed of 55, with about 90% highway driving.

There's still lots of EcoDiesels available in places like Texas. Finding one out in California, might prove a little bit more difficult. But if you want fuel economy not super expensive fuel prices, diesel is definitely the way to go.

Put it this way, next time there's a fuel shortage in the country, and everyone's lining up for miles to get some gasoline, you can pass by the entire line and pull up to the diesel pump that's wide open. The best part is, if you ever move out of the state of California to a more eco-friendly state, you can stage two your EcoDiesel and not pollute your engine.

Corporate average fuel economy requirements.
