They're both good engines, but people want to bash the 4 cyl for some reason, just like they bashed the JL before it waSo... $1000. more, must use premium gas, weighs more and is missing a couple cylinders. I'm pretty happy with the V6 in our Rubicon.
I get better than 23 mpg around here on the island. (which is mostly highway/ cruise control driving this time of year) My wife gets 22+ because she doesn't use the cruise control. The V6 JL hauls azz when you put your foot into it passing out slower traffic. Comparing the Rubi to our GC with the similar V6 and 8 speed auto I actually thing the Wrangler version of the V6's HP rating is underrated in both torque and HP. Possibly done just to promote the 4 cylinder???
Only a side by side chassis or hub dyno comparison could confirm that though...
DPF/emissions failures kept me from considering a diesel.Heck, I think all you guys are crazy, I'm going to buy the diesel engine model when it comes out and sell what I have. Have you seen the torque numbers on that puppy, it's close to 445 if memory serves me right.
