I loved my 2.0 turbo and still think it’s the best engine but mine went into limp mode as well as my 3.6 in my JK pulling Vail pass. Not towing anything. Lots of heat at elevation causes some problems. Even the Ecoboost 3.5 ford did it. Elevation will effect many vehicles. If I could have got the 2.0 in the Gladiator I would have. But there is no comparison. The power is addictive. Just as the difference between the 2.0 and V6 was. No comparison.There’s a huge difference in temps climbing a bit and getting so hot the vehicle goes in to limp mode. That would be a deal breaker for me too. My ram never over heated once towing the Jeep on the trailer out to telluride and back in July. It’s a lowly 1500 gasser too. I tend to drive on the faster side and accelerate with purpose. If a 2k lb trailer taxes the cooling system that bad, it simply isn’t adequate. I guess that answers the question when diesel guys wonder why they don’t get a higher tow rating than us lowly 4cyl owners…
