I’m thinking we may get something in return for the wait

Just so you know people with Rubicons, 35" tires and 3.6s are clocking 6.9sec 0-60 times. I doubt the Turbo will be much faster, especially with big tires like that. Could be slower. Just to make sure you know what you are waiting for.
It would make zero sense to be slower than the 3.6, when the turbo 2.0 is the more powerful engine with the better power band.

I decided to wait as well. If I swapped to a 3.6, I'd be wishing I had the 2.0 later. I've had buyer's remorse before and would rather wait to get the better option.

I agree , you should get what you want especially when your spending that kind of money

Even if it takes longer ,it’s worth the extra wait for something your gonna be driving for the next 5 years or longer

And my porsche gts is even faster. Dude it's a jeep. Not sure where you are coming from. Just be happy with what you have and find a 3.6 forum to get off on.

The point was just comparing it to the Turbo. i think a lot of people think the Turbo will be way faster, but it likely won't be a huge difference. I had a turbo on order myself, I decided it wasn't worth the wait but good on ya if you can take the continued BS from FCA.
