Not a fan. A turbo 6 cylinder replacing the Hemi? Nope.

That looks awfully short for an inline 6? Maybe its tucked under the cowl hiding?

It's about twice as long as the 3.6 and 5 inches longer than a 392, it's actually 34 inches, that engine bay is huge and the cowl is only covering a small part of the engine.

The 4.0 was a good engine.

I love the 4.0 engine too. It was one of the engines that taught me that the automotive media were full to their throats with fecal material. They hated everything that didn’t come from Japan in the 80s and 90s. As a young man I couldnt believe how smooth and durable they were. They’d run 250k hard miles and barely need a tune-up during that time.

They were total dawgs though. With low gearing and that eras light cars, they ran very well. The Pentastar is a huge upgrade. It’s just that vehicles have gotten so darn heavy now. And, the average family vehicle today is faster than a Mustang GT from that era. We are seriously spoiled now.

I think we all need to get used to the fact that the whole automotive industry has made some weird changes in the last decade.

With the 2024 Gladiator heading north of 70K, a well appointed full size SUV is going to be at least 100K. What you get with that is CAFE standards and safety ratings high on the list and real leather and engine power on the low end. I'm not sure Kia or Hyundai sell a vehicle less than 30K anymore.

Could always get a 550 HP HurriCrate version and drop it in your Gladiator…

I'm waiting on someone to *figure it out*, test it, work all the kinks out of it and this is the way I really want to go in my 2020.

I come from the Mazda RX-7 world where highly modified vehicles seem to be the norm.

I feel like I’m the only person that likes the 3.6 Pentastar V6, but the first jeep I drive had a 232 CI straight-6 with about 100 HP.

That was gutless.

Found the window sticker online actually $119k.

Good grief it has the 8HP75 tranny in it .. Good lord they go all out for a passenger vehicle and us off road guys leave us scrambling for motors and transmissions to take care of power short falls?? What the actual #$!!!!!

If this is where the prices are heading for a JT with a Hurricane I'll just plan on heading to AMW with my money to get a 392. if I were ever to actually have such money

Will these twin turbos have the inner cooler mounted so that a winch is not a viable option like the F150's? I had a '16 F150 and the only way to mount a winch was to relocate the innercooler. Kind of a PITA.

I don't see piping for an air/air intercooler. Probably has an air/water intercooler on top like BMW has done with the B58, which is far superior for many obvious reasons.

I don't see an engine, I just see a piece of plastic.

Nothing against the OP for getting the picture.
