It is the golden age for engines in Jeeps. They are the best ever offered. They each have advantages, and I don't think any have a real downside.
I went 3.6 because I wanted the manual transmission and being that I ordered on the first day they opened it up, the V6 was proven and the 2.0 was not only new, but still months away from production. Today, the 2.0 has a track record and it is very good. TIme will tell, but I think it has shown to be strong out of the gate. It has handled hard off-roading and is outstanding on the road, getting mileage that was unimaginable for a Jeep not too long ago. (The V6 is close, but can't match it.)
If I didn't love manuals so much and I were buying today, I'd go with the Jeep on which I could get the best deal.
Btw, where I live, you couldn't test drive both because they don't have any. People are buying them literally as the truck unloads. All they have are a few Gladiators.
