Illuminate confirmed?

I concur.

I'm sorry, but if you think Jeep can not engineer a cooling package for a 2.0T in a Gladiator you are mistaken. There is absolutely nothing hard or unusual about fooling 4 cyl turbos for trucks. E.g. Ranger.

Here is one article of many. There are others. Some with a lot more details. There was/is a great technical sheet out there explaining the limitations of the 2.0T for the Gladiator. It had the engineers explaining everything they tried and why it was not feasible. They left nothing on the table. The 2.0T is a excellent motor but not for the Gladiator's towing requirements. And I am not a hater. I loved the 2.0T in my old JLR. It is just what it is.

And what do the 3.0 diesel & 2.0 have in common?

Nothing really. The 2.0T has a very sophisticated integrated exhaust gas cooler pre-turbo and integrated (in the intake) charge air intercooler post turbo. It also has very sophisticated spark ignition timing controls not available on the diesel.

Fail. They're both offered in the JL Unlimited.

One my favorite things about the internet, is reading someone make a baseless claim, be proven wrong quickly and naturally it's never acknowledged. Zero accountability.

It's option #3.

I appear to be running into late-week retardation.

Me too.

On that note, I'm opening up the poll to unlimited choices... because it's possible to buy more than one Jeep.

Poll needs more LSX

and not even a Hellaphant option?!

 

[Rogues Gambit]

I dunno, could be interpreted as a vote for a turbo 6 cyl. which is proving to be a popular write-in vote.

That too, wish they had an Ecodiesel manual option

Was nice to see what the stats were when one vote per person. I mean if I bought a second Jeep it would be the 3.6 again because I like it that much. But I understand some may not feel the same about their first choice or wanted a change the second go around for another reason.

Hands down all the motors make their owners happy. But definitely more votes for the 3.6 as a motor alone and just barely more for the 3.6 as a powertrain (as you put it earlier)... I didn't expect to see that for some reason.

Pretty good poll for a meaningless poll as you put it...

I guess I was trying to keep it relevant to something that could be offered in the JL. Unless GM buys Jeep or Jeep buys the tooling for the LS... I don't see that happening from the factory. Of course I used to own a Jeep with a factory installed Buick V6, so who knows what could happen.

Hmmm... good point. Granted.

People are still going to vote for what they're interested in. I would never consider a 4-door, but I'm still interested in the 392.

Hi,

Back in AMC days they also put the Buick 350 in Waggoners and all AMC V8's used the lousy Buick oil pump/front cover....

I was surprised how fairly balanced the pie chart looked (aside from 4xe). If they do introduce the I-6 it is Really going to be disruptive -

 

[RudeJeepin]

I currently have the 3.0 diesel and would buy another if I was to replace my current one. But I'd think about the 392 or similar V8 if I was to get a second Jeep. I'm also curious about the new I6, turbo, no turbo, eboost.
I'd also think about the 4xe, if someone else would agree to pay for replacement batteries when needed. It's a Jeep so more than likely I'd have it long enough to need to replace the battery pack.
