There is no perfect engine

[mdkautzman]

I personally love the V6. Have it in the Gladiator and Wrangler. Peppy. Hell it has the same horse power a 350 V8 made back in the day but with better fuel milage.

And yes you can order one without Etorqe still. Just let dealer know when ordering.

I second "take the 2.0T for a spin."

On FB I actually did a full write up of the 3 main engines, the 3.6 vs the 2.0T vs the 3.0.

I love the 2.0T so much I pretty much went 4xe because of that spunky little engine. All the added benefits were a bonus.

Plus the fact that you'll RARELY find someone that drove the 2.0T and prefers the 3.6. The vast amount of responses that prefer the 3.6 are those who've never tried the 2.0T.

The 3.6 etorque has a complex secondary battery system that I'm weary of.

Remember, the 3.6 eTorque is covered under the emissions warranty.
It changes by state but NC is 8 years or 80K miles.

Have you driven any of the engine options? If not, Drive a 3.6 and then a 4 banger and I am pretty sure you will be surprised. Of course, it is not the 392, but personally I wouldn’t change it for any of the other engines. XR package is cool but if I had to order one, I wouldn’t go with the XR package just because it is not offered with the 2.0 turbo. Funny that when I was going to buy the wrangler, I was looking for the 3.6 but I am glad that I went with the turbo even if it sounds like a vacuum.

I drove a 4xe back June but there haven't been jeeps on the lots here since.

I hate the 2.0T...seems gutless compared to the 3.6 and sounds terrible!!! 2.0T is OK under full throttle but that's it IMHO.

Lol you are basically describing the 3.6 which has the torque and HP so high in the curve that you have to rev them to 6k. I almost never have to go full throttle on my 2.0 to get to 70 mph. You are the first person I hear saying this. Even the dyno charts and torque curves of both engines go against what you say.

I respectfully disagree.

I test drove a JLUR with the 3.6 before we tested the 2.0T we ended up buying, it was that good.

The rental JLU we had in Michigan with the 3.6 lacked pep, any little hill on 70 mph and it downshifted. Not that it was bad, but it wasn't as good as the 2.0T, in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with disagreement!!! Different people with different driving styles always changes the equation! Cheers Bros ?

Same reply, couldn't get multi quote to work:

Let's say that I think the 2.0 Turbo is awesome but sounds like a wheezy electric car. What are some good cheap mod options (that don't break warranty) to give it more of a growl? Cold air intake?

I know, huh. Just imagine how shitty those poor Koenissegg Gamera buyers must feel.

Seats: 4
Engine: 2-liter 3-cyl twin turbo engine + 2 electric motors
Output: 1,200 hp
Acceleration 0-60: 1.9 seconds
Top speed: 250 MPH
Price: $1.7M

Rear occupants don’t even get their own door! What’s up with that?!? ?

11 mpg in town and gas station every 200 miles is not fun either.

No engine choice is perfect, it’s all trade off.

Yeah, I recall what it was like to own HEMI powered vehicles: fun bursts of adrenaline interrupted by bouts of anger at the pump.

I guess Intake, intercooler pipe, blow off valve and complete exhaust and maybe It will sound good lol. But with all that money, I rather do the superchips tune for $600 and gain TQ/HP with a better curve.
