For some context: I currently own a 19 JLUR. It has 70k miles on it, 2.5 inch lift, 35s, it gets wheeled regularly. I bought this to hold me over while my bronco came in, turns out I love it, and I want a new Jeep.
I work from home, and my daily driving is around 10 miles, but we go on several road trips a year. 6 to 10x to Moab (650 miles round trip) 5 trips to St. George Utah, 1 trip to the San Juans, and other Overlanding/rock crawling focused vacations.
I want to order a new JLUR but I'm stumped on motor options. I like my current v6, but it feels kinda slow on the highway, especially with roof tent and 35s, it doesn't like the downshifting and high speeds.
Diesel: Love it, my dad has a diesel Gladiator and I love this motor, but I'm worried my regular driving isn't enough to regularly get it hot enough, but this is the most road trip-worthy motor.
Rubicon XR 2.0: I've driven the 2.0 extensively and love it, and I think the 4.56 gears and more torque make this seem like the perfect compromise.
4xe: Perfect for my everyday driving, but expensive, and does not do well on road trips.
Help me decide!
