I have a 2020 JTR with about 35,000 mi on it. I'm thinking about trading it off for a diesel or adding a supercharger. I do live in California so I have to wait for something that's carb approved. Otherwise I'd be looking at the Magnuson. I do tow about 4500 lb and I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada's about 5,000 ft. Looking forward to opinions.
Thanks Scratch

Eddelbrock is carb I think?

I went through this when I bought. I wanted the tow rating and payload of the max tow; for towing.

with the reported issues the D has on overheating when towing. Lack of tow rating and lower payload.

I opted for the supercharger.

mines on order.
