Strike Affecting Custom Factory Orders?

[Heimkehr]

We actually drove a 3.6 w/eTorque and didn’t even realize it until you brought this to my attention. Compared to the 4 banger turbo it seemed anemic.

The V6's laggy throttle response was absolutely unignorable after I had three proper test drives in three JLUs (two with autos and one with the third pedal.) I then configured my factory order with the 2.0T sight- and test-drive unseen. The wisdom of my choice is validated every time I drive the vehicle.

I've since read suggestions on this forum that the Pentastar's tuning, in particular the underwhelming throttle response, is an effort by the engineers to get as close to desired EPA figures as possible. I'm not confirming or denying the accuracy of what forum members have said here, but I will agree that it makes sense. The 2.0T needs no such fiddling, since there's two less mouths to feed, with the collateral effect on average fuel mileage.

Possibly a throttle controller would address the aforementioned for those owners who are concerned with the relaxed nature of the V6. I've installed the X9 on my Jeep, and the multiple programs make the 2.0T even more fun than I thought it could be.

Unless something has changed, ETorque is not on the 2024 3.6L Auto

The unit we drove was a 23, so that makes sense. Had to verify with the window sticker to be sure.

Seems like there are some workers ready to go back to work, they need to put the pressure on Elmer Fudd because if the workers are starting to feel the offers are worth taking then he needs to start considering the workers opinions and not his ego.
Like the guy in the video says “take what you can get before you loose what you got.”

this might be why some Jeeps are still getting out the door.

Edit: just realized this was already posted in the waiting room, my bad. ?‍

Gupton has a good reputation for being straightforward with their customers.
If and when you do order they may be the ones you want to go to.
There are plenty of people here on the forum that have nothing but good things to say about the way they were treated by them.

Good luck - I hope this strike ends soon and folks can get their Jeeps.

I ordered my 22 JLR from them. It was the best experience!! I highly recommend them.

maybe, just maybe we will see some movement in a week or two if this all works out.
