Have your 2.0T? Post your pictures and impressions

[kenerg]

Strange, mine is super smooth even with the start/stop.

Yea throttle is SUPER sensitive.. It might need to learn... only 300 but figured it would have done that by now.

May I ask what rims you have? I think these would good on my Rubicon Sting-Gray!

They are KMC XD229 MACHETE CRAWL Wheels beadlocks, I love them,they were on my 2017 Rubicon before this one.

I love my 2018 2.0 JL. Ordered on 9/10, born on 10/2 and delivered on 11/1. So far, we are very impressed with the 2.0. Showed 13 mi on the odometer when I drove off the lot, now showing 1620 and breaking in nicely. On my daily 46 mile ride to work (23each way) I have been seeing 28 plus mpg avg, if I keep my foot out of the turbo

Yes the 2.0T has a few more things on it that can potentially go wrong. But, many new models are going turbo these days instead of v6. There are few problems out there with turbos... the designs are pretty much perfected. If you break a coolant line you are in need of repair either way. Id rather have the Jeep shut down then risk over heating. Time will tell how the hybrid system holds up.. but again there are 1000s of hybrid cars out there and I am not hearing any wide scale problems. Problems we have in the future will be because we purchased a Fiat not necessarily the 2.0

It's NOT the "turbo" most are concerned about . . . it's the eTorque/48v System that has its "shortcomings" ! the potential for added problems should of been addressed BEFORE went on sale, not after as seems to be much of the time with FCA products of late ( this is a fact, not hyperbole). I'm a Lover, not a Fighter of Jeeps & Rams * most of my vehicle buying life ! Looking forward to owning a Wrangler-esque replacement for my 2016 WK2 - early 2019, if the stars all align !
edit . . . by that I mean perhaps the gladiator ? Been 'edumacating' myself over at the truck site too !
Wondering when they may offer the (or a) turbo on the Gladiator ? Perhaps the "old" 2.4 turboized ? Where would they put the eTorque 48v-package in this ? The rear is already full with the spare !? Perhaps behind the rear bench seat, like the RAM ?

eTorque and BSG work GREAT!
The system really worked great at 12k feet in Colorado.
Over 5,000 miles and I average 21 MPG city.

Happy as punch. Everything works as advertised. On the second tank of fuel and loving this JLU.

I think I read there will not be a 2.0 Turbo engine option for the pick up. Only the 3.6 and diesel engines will be available for the Gladiator. It has something to do with heat and tow capacity.

Getting my welds looked at this week. Hopefully they are fine since the repairs I've seen posted here have looked questionable.

6,000 miles so far, no problems yet, 22+mpg

 

[MoquitoVerde]

Picked mine up on Friday 12/21/2018. Born 11/1/18

Ive already ordered a new front bumper, 37" wheels and a 2.5" lift kit. Should hopefully all be installed by end of January.
I will agree that the engine is noisy, but not in a bad way. it sounds like a 4 cyl engine's exhaust to me. Like a little mouse running on a wheel.
I miss my the sounds of my ecodiesel already.

How on earth are you getting that kind of MPG? Using cruise at 70 mph, 250 mile trip, I averaged 18.3. Getting about 17 in the city. I'm going by the economy meter on the dash, not actually calculating the mph after a fill-up. Maybe that's the issue. My avg economy has never gone above 18.5 in the month I've owned the vehicle.

70 is a gas hog. I get best MPG around 60.
My gauge says 19.2 at the moment with a mix of city/highway. Also with letting it warm up before I drive it.

2018 JLU Sport S Granite in the DMV, got mine just a little over a month ago. About 2.1k on her so far and loving every bit of it. Wish they offered the LED package, my only regret but considering some Quakes. A little familiar with Jeeps and I know how to wrench, restoring an '86 928S at the moment.

Don't have too many upgrade plans for my Jeep aside a Rubi steel front bumper, JCR front skid, winch, front suspension spacer to offset the weighted droop, and darker tint. Currently getting around 19.6-20ish MPG (hand calc'd, about -1.5-2 from what the dash reads) with my semi-conservative mainly highway but stuck in beltway traffic driving so not bad.

Anyone here planning on exhaust mods? Just replacing the muffler with a straight-pipe should make it sound sporty without being too loud given that a turbo significantly quiets the exhaust noise.

Put straight pipe on my 2.0T at first sounded like a rice burner, have since put Magnaflow muffler on and I'm very happy.
