I picked up my JT a little over a week ago. Love it so far. Bit of a gas guzzler, but it was to be expected. Surprisingly it’s worse than my 3.8 JKU on 37s was!
for reference I had my 08 JKU Sahara with about a 4inch Metalcloak lift, fore mentioned 37s, 4.88 gears, 1 ton steering and loads of stuff to support it all. It was my first Jeep. I decided to sell it because I’ve been needing a truck able to tow a small camper. The JK was limited by the 3.8 and further choked down by the extra weight and tire size.
The plan with this JT is a more modest build. Keeping the weight down is going to be very influential. I went with the max tow for obvious reasons including the 4.10 gears. Paired with the 3.6, it should be plenty powerful to tow the 2500lb camper. Lots of hills in NM; so I don’t expect great mileage or for it to hold 75 all the way through! We’ll find out tomorrow just how well it’s gonna do.
