Makes perfect sense, don’t believe the Jeep website but believe one post on one forum that’s hasn’t been posted anywhere else either.
Official press release added to first post:

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.

I wonder what may have happened on a national level that now allows for the proper powertrains in larger vehicles 🤔
Literally, nothing. All the same regulations still apply. Stellantis' CEO did just step down, however.

It’s easy to say that when the press release was added AFTER our conversation, douche.

added screenshot for posterity. 2 hours later, not before or during conversation.

I noticed it still says $4500 for the V6/auto option. It should be $4500 for the 5.7/auto option.

To celebrate Tavares leaving, they should release a FAFO edition… :LOL:

It’s easy to filter out nonsense on this forum when you’ve been on it as long as a lot of us have.
I understand the douche comment comes from a place of pain after you doubled down on calling the OPs post bullshit. Hope your day gets better.

Where did I call his post BS? By asking for a source? Last I checked that wasn’t calling bs, but hey, in your alternate reality maybe it is.

If Jeep were interested in customer demand, requests, enthusiasm, wet dreams, etc., we'd have a 5.7L option already.
Maybe they can go collect all the unsold Chargers and Challengers sitting on dealer lots and sprinkle those unwanted 5.7's into new Jeeps and call it the "best effort" edition.

Look at things from a different prospective..

I'm glad Wrangler is one of few mass production vehicles that still offer a manual transmission in 2024.

2 or 4 door?
4 door. What’s crazy is it has pretty much every option and stickers for like $76,000. Just amazes me how much they e increased in price. Mines a 19 with all options except power top or painted top and it’s ticketed for $56,085.

I mentioned on some older thread that I believed this was just a temporary thing to sell off a bulk of manuals. Still believe this was all a plan to push inventory to dealerships/public.

And now, back to our scheduled program.
