Try towing a Jeep up I70 west out of Denver. The semis go 20MPH max up that grade. I bet with the power loss in the 3.6 at altitude those semis will still want to pass you.

They have turbos.
Don't need turbos, just more power. Ram had no issues towing 8klbs of JLUR on a trailer up to telluride with the cruise control set at 85mph...aside from the 8mpg. NA is ok if you start with 400hp at sea level.

No they just suck at building a webpage. Hell half the time the info you get in the builder is just plain wrong.

His gladiator doesn't have a V8.

Sounds like a 15 year old mail truck
Sounds like it'll fit right in with all time great Jeep engines then. The 4.0 always sounded like a rod was about to come through the block.

I must say: my Pentastars have all sounded quite nice. Smooth revving and a slight burble to the exhaust. The turbo 4 is almost comically weird with all its different noises.

The sudden woosh after it opens up on a cold start after idling for a bit is my favorite WTF noise
