Hi All,
First post on this forum. I’m buying a 2020 4d JL. I was able to briefly test drive the 4 cyl and 6 cyl gas. I haven’t been able to drive the diesel yet.
I have previously owned two wranglers one 1988 wrangler with the straight 6 and later a 2004 Rubicon. The 04 Rubicon was not great around town.
That said I have a few questions:
1. Engine - what’s the consensus on 4, 6 or diesel - my use: mostly light trail and two to three hour drives to trails in AZ. No serious crawling.
2. Sahara vs Rubicon - I have yet to drive the current Rubicon, but have the Sahara. Is the current model still feel slower compared to Sahara?
3. Seats - really like the leather - any down sides to consider?
4. Options - that one touch top has the wife sold so it’s going to happen. Any other must haves?
5. Ordering: I’m going to order it so we get exactly the options desired. Any advice to offer?
I drove the Sahara 4 and Sport 6 and was SHOCKED at how smooth they both felt. Honestly the 4 felt a little more responsive but 6 is much simpler under the hood. Either would do the trick. Look forward to driving the diesel.
thanks!
