Wonder why they didn't "race" a 2.0 or 3.6 wrangler. Also did I miss what distance/speed they "raced" to?

Not sure. I though it was pretty good though.

Did better than I thought.

Good video. The Gladiator Rubicon with 4.10 gears and the ecodiesel running 3.73s. My money was on the 4.10 gears by a hair but we see what happened.

I’m actually amazed. I would love to see it line up against the newest 2.0 and 3.6.

looks like about an 1/6th of a mile to me. They didn’t do that because they don’t own one

I think they traded the 2.0 Rubicon to get the Gladiator. Would be nice to have unlimited funds and get a Full Jeep lineup drag race.

Heck, all they would have to do is reach out to their viewers & I'm sure they would have volunteers lining up, willing to let them flog their JL -

Or, Pretty easy to rent a 2.0L

On the one hand, these races are fair--they seek to compare similar vehicles for superiority...

..but on the other hand, drag racing a Wrangler is like putting two Lexus sedans through Moab to see which emerges victorious...

...it's a little like....

Drag racing a Jeep is pointless. Any souped up moped could beat it. In fact I’ve been in a golf cart that could smoke it to 50. Now off road there is no super car etc that could even hold a candle.

Haahah. But I’m not drag racing for time. I’m having fun to 25 mph with vehicles that have 3x my HP. Gearing is a fun thing.

I guess I was thinking more along the lines of at a drag strip.
