Because the mini van motor sounds so much better.I ordered a JLUR with the 3.6. I had the 2020 3.6 and absolutely loved it. I figure the 2.0 just isnāt fit for a Jeep. Requires cleaner air, more premium fuel, and replacing a turbo isnāt cheap. Plus the 2.0 sounds like youāre driving a Prius, which seriously turned me off. The etorque is only active for the first 1,500 RPM so itās not like itās something you need to worry about a ton.
I did test drive the 2.0 and itās pretty good. But I still preferred the power and feel of the 3.6 over the 2.0. Plus the 3.6 is a tried and true engine. An engine like the 2.0 is great for smaller cars and economy vehicles, but not for bigger offroad vehicles like a Jeep. Just my thoughts.
The 2.0T returns an average of 27.x mpg with every tank of 91 octane.I see some 2.0 owners getting 25+ mpg, maybe at 55 on flat ground? Iām creeping towards 20 mpg if mostly freeway so far, but still better than my 13ā 2 door
"Requires cleaner air"? Help us understand that one.I figure the 2.0 just isnāt fit for a Jeep. Requires cleaner air, more premium fuel, and replacing a turbo isnāt cheap.
Anything in mid 20ās will be great! Have to put my right foot on a dietThe 2.0T returns an average of 27.x mpg with every tank of 91 octane.
55-60 mph (w/cruise) on flat ground or mild elevation changes, no jack rabbit starts from a stoplight, stock suspension and tires.
"Requires cleaner air"? Help us understand that one.
I'm surprised that I'm doing as well as I am.Anything in mid 20ās will be great! Have to put my right foot on a diet

Not trying to jump down your throat. But misinformation is cancer.
Very true. On several occasions, over my few years here, I've read someone's regret post about avoiding the 2.0 due to the words of someone that came across as knowing far more than they really did.I would say the majority of replies in this thread are misinformation, for both engines. Most of the āe torqueā fear is by people who donāt own the engine. These threads are as bad as oil threads.
Some of us just want to avoid an unnecessary, overly complex system.I would say the majority of replies in this thread are misinformation, for both engines. Most of the āe torqueā fear is by people who donāt own the engine. These threads are as bad as oil threads.
Lol. This is the argument that gets me. The entire JL platform is an overly complex system.Some of us just want to avoid an unnecessary, overly complex system.
Your wife or you? If it's her Jeep, don't get one....my wife says she doesnt want a 4 banger jeep lol.
JLUR 2.0 turbo non etorque on MT tires around 21 mpg during summer and around 18 winter. People getting 25 mpg must be a non rubicon on regular tires.Anything in mid 20ās will be great! Have to put my right foot on a diet
