Just like a 5th Gen 4Runner. You have to drop a plastic air dam and completely remove a skid plate every. single. time. you. change. the. damn. oil. Not an access panel — an entire skid.In a Wrangler I'm sure Jeep will place a skid plate under the oil filter making it nearly impossible to get damaged by off road activities AND impossible to access it during oil changes.
Makes sense. I think we'll see them in the bigger vehicles first. The launch vehicle is the Grand Wagoneer. That thing got dinged pretty hard by the reviewers for the massive weight - 600 lbs more than an Expedition/Escalade - and atrocious fuel consumption.I was a little worried that I'd want one of these right away until I read this part = to get the most umph, you'll have to pay basically the same price for diesel (here). I know my 3.0L is a dinosaur, but I'll hang onto it for a good while longer thanks anyway. I'll lay odds you'll se the I6 in the Ram & Dodge muscle cars well before the Wrangler also.
Any thoughts on the new powerplant being direct-injected?
Jeep is saying 15% better fuel economy than 5.7 Hemi. So, you need to keep expectations more realistic. In the Wrangler speed is your enemy. I can get 20MPG at 55MPH but only 14MPG at 85MPH.Hi,
Will be neat to see where it ends up, funny thing just got my 22 JLUR 3.6 6mt and it's getting 15.5mpg, my 2020 Challenger Scat Pack M6 392 gets 17-22mpg, so what will this new inline 6 get 20-25mpg?
Regards,
Jim
All engines should be In line 6. If you need more power, join them for a V12.apples and oranges but i love the inline 6 in my E46 BMW
I thought i'd keep my JL "forever" but with the 392, XR package and now this, Stellantis is making it harder and harder not to trade in and upgrade.
Endorsed!All engines should be In line 6. If you need more power, join them for a V12.
But it's so simple to do, de minimis.Just like a 5th Gen 4Runner. You have to drop a plastic air dam and completely remove a skid plate every. single. time. you. change. the. damn. oil. Not an access panel — an entire skid.
Hi again,Jeep is saying 15% better fuel economy than 5.7 Hemi. So, you need to keep expectations more realistic. In the Wrangler speed is your enemy. I can get 20MPG at 55MPH but only 14MPG at 85MPH.
Guess my average?
Not sure if this is serious or not.But it's so simple to do, de minimis.
