The great meaningless engine poll

[AZ Hella]

Can you add the 5.7 with a manual please.

I'm still sticking with my half brained crazy idea of a 3.0D 4xe. It should be feasible, but a heavy sum bitch. It would have gobs of grunt, and would be the most efficient Wrangler ever.

It was... but is discontinued now.

It’s shame Because it probably the best engine available. Just too expensive for most people.

Where's the 4.0L I6?

I wish to reaffirm my comment after taking delivery of my 3.6L two days ago. Yes, I know it's a better, more modern engine. But it sounds like a minivan. I want my tractor!

" I want my tractor! "

This looks like a job for the 3.0

Let's just bolster the frame and start with 60/80s from the factory and upgraded brakes, it would cost a small fortune but be their most capable wrangler ever.

The 2.0 sounds like a tractor.

You might want to look under your Jeep and see if someone stole your exhaust...

It's the noisy injectors combined with the almost too low gearing (on a stock Rubicon). Also my experience with tractors has mostly been with low revving inline four cylinders.

Mission option: Giant rubber bands.

That's got to be an Acme product.

In Jeeps I have had:

4.0L
3.8L
3.6L
3.6L eTorque
2.0L 4xe
1.3L
2.4L

So far the two most reliable were the 4.0L and, believe it or not, the 3.8L (both over 200K miles with zero issues).
