You’ll wish you had the v6 soon enough. :bandit:
What makes you say that? I have yet to see a single person with the 2.0 that wishes they had the 3.6. Did you just need to try to bring someone else down to make yourself feel better?

I did the same back in November on a 25. Hated to let go but it was time.

we'll see - I drove a 6 with a manual and honestly I was a bit disappointed. I was hoping in had some grunt like my old 81 cj7 with the straight 6 - but alas those days are long gone.
Pros and cons either way, I was just winding up the 2.0 vs 3.6 crowd. Congrats on the new Jeep 👍

Well, another 2.0T vs 3.6 OH, My!

163k+ on 2020 Bikini JLU 2.0T, still running strong and the wife loves it as much as the first day she saw it driving by the dealership. It has the seepy oil drip at the cooler but still not bad enough to pull and fix....yet.

3.5" lift (dealership delivered with 2" pucks with 35"s) ran the package till our kidneys were singing at 60k or so. One new set of tires so far at around 75k. Still plenty of tread depth so far.

Our kids wanted a 4xe. They just ended up using one of ours. Glad now they have dumped the line.

History: 80's to 90's had 73-CJ5&86-CJ8 till wife had a really bad auto accident, not in jeep. 2 years later sold them as there was no idea when she would be able to ride in them ever again. 20+ years later she decides she is having "That" one. Took 3 trips by it with conversations like, "pretty jeep" 1st time. 2nd time, "pretty jeep is still there." 3rd time..."oh...look at the big tires they put on it." That time the bells finally started ringing in my head while watching her looking at the jeep. And realized I was buying her a new jeep.

And of course we added a 2021 JLU Rubi and 2021 JT Rubi, both diesels since then.

Congrats on the new rig.

I did the same, but I do hope to go back to a hybrid or PHEV if and when Jeep gets things figured out.

My 2023 Willys was great - other than at the second week of the lease - dead primary battery - that was freaky - and of course the first "exploding vehicle recall". All in all it worked for me being semi-retired I work locally so I hardly ever used gas. I will miss the drop it into 4H and stomp on the pedal - it really took off. But like you said they didn't have all the gremlins out.

Just gassed up today the cheap stuff is $2.55 so I treated it to some premium. Probably do 1/2 and 1/2 (91 and 87) now that we're back t0 2019 prices.

Just wanted to update this thread.

Carvana is definitely selling 4xe's. I found mine for sale on the website today for $36,990 with a purchase pending. (They gave me $31k for it.)
