They're the ones lined up outside the dealership for warranty work.Any distinguishing external features?
where'd you get that? I love it
Based on what Iāve seen in these threads I suspect the V6 might be the more immediately problematic of the twoā¦.at least until the little turbo ages a bit. Who knows thenā¦..They're the ones lined up outside the dealership for warranty work.

I can tell when I put them up on the hoist for an oil change. Filter is right there next to the drain plug. At least they got that right.I challenge all you drivers who are blind....sit next to a 2.0 and you can tell upon start up. Normal drivers who can see, cannot tell the difference at all by looking
I did see a pic of a braille shift knob recently. I think it was on a BMW.Not to discriminate, but are there many drivers that are blind?
I Wonder why. Could it be that they haven't gotten around to offering it as an option yet? the Cherokee & Grand Cherokee have the 2.0 as an option.Maybe, but there is a reason the 2.0T isn't offered in vehicles that the 3.6 is - like the Gladiator, Challenger, Charger, 300, Grand Cherokee, 1500, Rubicon Extreme Recon...etc. At the end of the day to each their own. Cheers
The 2.0 has around 75 lb-ft more at the wheels, which is about 35% more than the 3.6.All fun on my side too. As far as robust drivelines the 2.0T really doesn't make that much torque over the 3.6 - they both use the 850RE tranny.
3.6 = 285hp / 260 ft/lbsI Wonder why. Could it be that they haven't gotten around to offering it as an option yet? the Cherokee & Grand Cherokee have the 2.0 as an option.

I'm aware of the official peak crankshaft numbers. Manufacture's official numbers don't always reflect reality.3.6 = 285hp / 260 ft/lbs
2.0 = 268hp / 295 ft/lbs
True, the automatic has a high enough torque rating that covers the 2.0. Going by the official 295 lb-ft figure, the 2.0 also has more torque than the Aisin AL6/D478 is rated for (370 Nm = 273 lb-ft), which might be one of the reasons why there is no 2.0 manual.They both use the same tranny so the reality is the 2.0 doesn't put enough power to warrant an upgraded transmission or driveline.
as far as an option on the other vehicles described - won't happen.
We can rule out a 2.0 Gladiator, since it likely doesn't have the cooling capacity to support towing. Maybe the Ram's body allows for enough cooling capacity, but only the engineers will ever know this, and it probably wouldn't sell well anyway. I think the 2.0 Rubicon Recon Xtreme is likely to happen eventually. And the Challenger/Charger/300 would be pretty logical with the 2.0 (see 4-cylinder Mustang & Camaro) if it will fit or maybe a next generation will share a platform with the Giulia.Gladiator, Challenger, Charger, 300, Grand Cherokee, 1500, Rubicon Extreme Recon...etc.
The numbers are the numbers released and generally accepted as good - sure an individual engine may prices a few better or worse than those numbers, but....anyway. Dynos certainly can vary depending on a host of factors.Manufacture's official numbers don't always reflect reality.
The Grand Cherokee? Highly likely. From here: "While Jeep isnāt even telling its dealer body which engine option will be under the hood of the 4xe, our sources have said it will be an almost identical setup to the Wrangler Unlimited 4xe utilizing a turbocharged 2.0-liter GME-T4 inline-four, a ZF-sourced 8HP hybrid 8-speed automatic transmission, and plug-in capability."
I had a 2020 Silverado 2.7T 4 cylinder with big snail. 310HP/348TQ. Other than the crappier sound, it flat out out performed my 19 Silverado 5.3 v8 in every way. My 2021 Willys 2.0T has a big Garret snail, and it outperforms my 2015 Wrangler in every way as well. Facts are facts, I have owned some of the fastest American muscle cars ever built, and I am still impressed with the power of these late 4 cyl turbo engines. The sound may not roar like some would want, but they perform better than most expect.The engine sounds crappier.
