I have a 2.0T, with the E Torque, and love it. The 2.0T without the E Torque would be fast, fun, and get great mpg.Currently have a 2020 JLUR 3.6 with 8 spd and no eTorque.
looking at a possible 2 door base sport down the road. That will be 3.6 with 8 spd and eTorque as the automatics are no longer available in a 3.6 without eTorque. How many folks think that is a bad idea and I should go for the Turbo 4 without eTorque instead in a Base 2 door sport?
Not true. The 2.0T with eTorque was also offered in 2019.The 2.0T eTorque was offered only in the first year; it was dropped due to poor sales and replaced in 2019 with the current 2.0T without eTorque.
Even I am surprised. If you check out the Jeep tracker, the V6 is outselling the Turbo 4 by a large margin. This is for those who custom order. These are usually your Jeep enthusiasts (be it first time owners like me or Jeep veterans).I am surprised there are so many V6s out there.
I honestly thought sales of V6 and 2.0T were a lot closer than that.
If you don’t mind me asking: how miles have you put on the Turbo 4 and have you seen any issues so far? This is more for my research in regards to my second Jeep. I always like hearing from experienced guys.I've owned a V-8 CJ5, TJ Rubicon, XJ, ZJ, my dad had a CJ7 when I was in high school and I currently own two JLUR's (both with 2.0T eTorques). I always work on my own Jeeps, never paid a mechanic to do anything, unless it's a warranty item. So I consider myself a veteran Jeep enthusiast.
When I test drove the JL in 2018, I drove both a 3.6 and 2.0T. The 2.0T put a smile on my face and was reminiscent of my CJ5 with a 304 engine and 4 barrel intake and carb. I could pass cars while going up mountain grades at any speed, with power to spare. The 3.6 was not nearly as strong and seemed more like the 4.0 engine after driving the 2.0T. Until Jeep comes out with a true V8 in a Wrangler, I'll stick with the 2.0T engine.
Potato, potahto...I knew 2.0T eTorque was available and dropped at some point.Not true. The 2.0T with eTorque was also offered in 2019.
I've got one.
In 2020, only the Rubicon Recon offered the 2.0T with eTorque.
I'm willing to bet that there are 10x, maybe even 100x, the amount of people that lurk in the shadows, than the total member count on this forum. Reading and trying to get a bead of which engine to choose, but never joining. They read a bunch of posts that come across as informative, but are really written by people that really don't know what they're talking about but are either just regurgitating the same closed minded thoughts that they heard while bouncing on dad's knee or those of the guy who was that kid. The unfortunate domino effect. Add to that, the biased need to defend one's purchase as the only right one. I've read a number of posts written by a v6 owner that left me convinced that they probably would've been happier with the I4 turbo, but were initially swayed by the bouncing knee remarks.I am surprised there are so many V6s out there.
