I would think if anything it would get the new I6 they are developing. Though I also think that would be even harder to get through crash testing with the current structure. Add me to the list of if they put the v8 with a manual in it, I would buy.

Have another story related to the M/T and being able to push in the clutch to maintain control. I’m driving along on a dark cold night in a new to me pickup with an auto trans. When I started the road was just wet but I drove into some kind of ice storm and see a 4Runner on its roof and three...

Completely agree with the points on m/t for winter driving. There are times when trying to accelerate an auto will downshift out from under you, break the tires loose and cause all kinds of problems. I grew up driving both (in AK) and to this day have a deep seated distrust for autos in...

As others have said not available on JT but there has been at least one guy that got the AWD shift knob but no AWD mode on his transfer case. Some photos of developmental JT’s also with the AWD knob. Hopefully this becomes an option some day.

My first CJ would do that with the doors shut. In the winter I’d have a little snow pile or icicle/stagmight/stagtight thing going on there and back by the tailgate... My newer Jeep does it too, my solution is that it takes garage priority over the rest of the cars and I always open the...

Was this an US or Canadian only order option? I’ve seen this same thing listed for Canadian JL going back to 2018 but never seen anything beyond the order sheets (I have yet to read about someone getting the actual half doors)

Good point on that one and also the trailer wire harness is standard equipment as someone had mentioned. So I guess the only bits you don’t get is the higher watt fan (probably shared with the max tow model?) and the backup camera zoom? I wonder if a tazer or dealer can activate the backup...

Speaking of weight ratings I thought this was interesting: Sport base with tow Sport S without tow Here’s one I don’t understand: My JGC says 3200/3700 axle rating, GVWR 6800, but payload is only 1050. It scales at 5050lb empty with a full tank of gas.

The Nissan is actually pretty ok, but it’s been 5 years since I last test drove one. I’d like to try one again. At the time it felt more like a first gen Tacoma or the earlier (80’s) Toyota pickups that I had back in college. Busier ride, noisier, feels like an actual compact pickup. Driven...

The payload ratings on the JT is quite confusing to me. I saw how yours has 6250GVWR/1600lb by getting a sport-s without towing. Such an odd thing that adding the tow package or removing options (from “S” to base) drops it down to approx 5800/1200lb. I’d forgotten to look at that on the one...

Not sure what to say on the tow rating. Current website (linked above) shows 6400lb as does the sales brochure. The owners manual is a little less clear as it does show a configurations of 6400 and 6000lb but categorizes it by engine and “certification model code” and not by transmission so...

Fairly certain the Tacoma v6 m/t is rated for 6400lb towing. 3500lb with the 4cyl Not sure if this link will work. https://www.toyota.com/tacoma/features/towing/7544/7545/7582

Tacoma: The Tacoma's motor felt very similar to the 3.6 in the JT to me. It also is very "soft" feeling at the bottom end. It also was similarly smooth. It exhibited similar stall resistance. It may pull a little harder mid RPM range (the taco has a little torque jump around 4k) but...

Driving impressions - JT The manual in the JT is decent. I found the shift action slightly rubbery and slightly crunchy like shifting through rubbery chunks if that makes sense. It wasn't terrible but felt a lot like our old M/T Toyota Camry. (The JT M/T is a cable shift setup, also like our...

Interior/first impressions It was raining lightly and when I opened the door, water drip/drained directly onto the floor, just like in my 2006 LJR. Ah yes this is a Jeep. I found the JT to be upright and quite a bit more spacious front and back than the Tacoma. The sight lines also felt...

I'm back in the market a for 4x4 pickup with a manual trans. I'm not specifically looking for a Jeep or a convertible, nor to run big tires or do hard trails. I have a 2006 LJR for that and even then I'm not into the hard trails thing anymore. I just want a good simple compact pickup truck...

Could you post the link you used to find this build sheet?

Not sure if this is true but I understand that both the front and rear use the same carrier. Doesn’t make sense to me as the ring gear is a different size and believe one is HP the other LP, but anyway if so.... the locker appears to be downright affordable at $675...

Jake, I was curious if your JT has the cabin air filter? (I don’t think that comes on the base model with 5” screen?) If not can you install a filter or does it not even have a provision for it? Love the idea of this base model. It’s funny how things change; my loaded M/T 2006 LJ rubicon is...

My dad’s Liberty key fob (the only one it came with) died and he got a new one programmed at the dealer. I think he spent $400 on the thing after programming and the local dealer markup. A few weeks later I borrowed the Liberty, went on an all day snorkeling trip and panicked at the end of the...
