December 17, 2024 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -

A power couple returns by popular demand. Fueled by the enthusiasm of the Jeep® community, Jeep announces the return of the optional TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission for the 2025 Jeep Wrangler four-door model equipped with the 3.6-liter V-6 engine.

"In response to enthusiastic requests, we're reintroducing the eight-speed automatic transmission for V6 Wrangler models, underscoring our commitment to freedom of choice, performance, and versatility for every adventure," said Bob Broderdorf, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. "We deeply value our community's passion and input."

2025 Wrangler four-door models come standard with the proven Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 engine, delivering 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission (excluding Sahara). The TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission is available as a $4,500 option, engineered for smooth operation and maximum efficiency, and pairs seamlessly with Wrangler’s four available, advanced 4x4 systems: Command-Trac, Rock-Trac (part-time and full-time), and Selec-Trac.

Maximizing freedom of choice, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler offers additional powertrains, including the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine (270 hp and 295 lb-ft), paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, plus the returning Wrangler 392, the fastest and most powerful Wrangler yet, features a 6.4-liter V-8 engine producing 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged gas engine, two electric motors, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a high-voltage battery pack, delivering 49 MPGe, 21 miles of all-electric range, and zero range anxiety.

The eight-speed automatic transmission paired with the 3.6-liter V-6 is open for orders now.

Ok. It’s still not on Jeeps sight, which is why I’m asking.

This almost certainly has to do with Traveres leaving. He wanted the 3.6L gone in favor of more efficient powertrain, and limiting it to manuals only was a sure fire way to reduce sales of that engine.

Pretty sweet though, glad they rolled it back

Oh heck, now my '24 Rubicon 3.6 Auto won't be worth as much!

And adding $4500 if you wanted the automatic…

I'd imagine a 3.6L is one of the few you aren't getting deep discounts on, either.

The Jeep website is notoriously famous for being behind.
Never take what’s you read there as truth. Same goes for what you’re not seeing.

Knowing Jeep they would use the same transmission they use for the V6s and then build about 5 of them and then...
