Jeep Towing + Manual Transmission = HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT

[JTRUBI]

With the low torque of the 3.6 you would not like towing. or going off road . with Man .

My manual 3.6 had no issues wheeling it.

And yours was a JK with the old m/t and before the slight 3.6 upgrade, correct?

Mine was a 2014 Rubicon unlimited with the manual 6 speed. No issues wheeling it.

I uploaded a quick old video of me wheeling it on my old 35s. Don’t mind the ps pump squealing. I blew the pump earlier that day.

If there were no manual transmission I would probably be getting a Colorado with a diesel. It's precisely because of the manual transmission option in the Jeep and the Tacoma that those are the only two I am considering.

Wait, you can get it with remote start? I thought that wasn’t an option for it?

Remote start is included in the cold weather package if you get the 850RFE trans.

At least there is still a manual option + people are still complaining = disappointed in people.

Sorry I read your response wrong and thought you were saying that they manual is available with the remote start.

Yeah, You can love festival the automatic all you want. It does all that stuff you said. Big deal. lt can never become a manual because it isn't one.

Would love to hear from someone with Jeep on why they thought this was a good idea.

I feel your pain but the fact is that the only manual transmissions stronger than the 6-speed that comes in the Wrangler would be the ones that would come in a 3/4-ton pickup. They are Ginormous & HEAVY. I have a ZF-6 from an F250 in my garage (working on a trans swap for my Wagoneer) and that dude must weigh 200+ pounds, without the t-case.
At least you have an option for a stick, can't get one at All with the diesel option

Same. And it's precisely because the roof comes off that it's the Jeep for me
