Wow, a man with a plan. A 20 year plan. I couldn't get past the end of the year. I'm old, so that's part of it, but I never was a long view guy.Possibly for life. 20+ years at least..

This is probably true... plus progressive regulation that will outlaw combustion.Neither …. Electrical and/or failed technologies will brick most modern cars before the engines are shot. I would consider 150,000 miles a good outcome with either engine.
I call BS. In 20 years, you will still find all kinds of Jeep parts. The Toyota has a higher likelyhood of being a Schlitz can.How many miles?
I have the 2.0 and I don’t plan on having it past 100,000 and I’m not worried about it going out before then. I had two 2014 3.6 wranglers that both had head issues that resulted in bad repairs by the dealer that ended up causing more damage. Also the heads failed outside of the 100k warranty so I had to ask Jeep to pay for the repairs (they covered part of it because it was a known issue with the heads).
I don’t have worries about making repairs on the 2.0 because it seems like most parts will be cheap. The turbo is only like $400 for example.
The transmission should last a very long time, but I think they are fairly expensive.
I think each engine has its pros and cons and it’s a gamble on which will last longer anyway so if I were you I would test drive each back to back and pick the one you prefer to drive. Engines will eventually fail anyway so do what makes you happy for the 200,000 miles until you need to start replacing major parts.
He has a valid point. You’ll be replacing ball joints, seals, bearings, etc on the solid axles of the Jeep multiple times over 20 years. Also steering components, etc.
Of course you’ll find them. Why wouldn’t you?I call BS. In 20 years, you will still find all kinds of Jeep parts. The Toyota has a higher likelyhood of being a Schlitz can.
With that timeframe the durability of the engine may be moot, finding gas to run it could be your primary problem.Possibly for life. 20+ years at least..
Man if you are in it for 20 years + get a Toyota. One that is built in Japan. 4Runner or LC.
Objection. Speculation.But that’s still less headache to deal with than the 2.0 etorque.
2.0 is no longer etorque.If you must choose between those two I would get the 3.6 6 speed. Yes indeed it still has lots of problem, clutch problems still exist. Recall after recall. But that’s still less headache to deal with than the 2.0 etorque. You will have 3 different cooling system one engine one for the battery and one for the 48v motor, just to begin with. Then the turbo, battery, intercooler plus shit tons of extra parts and system.
That’s said if you must get a Jeep. However if you don’t want to be an master jeep technician after 10 years of owning a jeep, 4Runner, gx460 is a awesome alternative.
WoW ! That’s music to my ear. Now I want a simple 2.0 willys to save some gas..2.0 is no longer etorque.
There is nothing simple about the 2.0. Or any of the JL powertrains, really.WoW ! That’s music to my ear. Now I want a simple 2.0 willys to save some gas..
