never materialized as a factory backed option. If jeep had done what ford did and partnered with megnesun (or whomever), I would have bought the supercharger on day 1. Seems like easy money left on the table since all the development was done by someone else. Just sell it as a package that included upgraded rods ect to minimize warranty issues.
Advantage of having a turbo from the factory- the tunes are a LOT easier and provide big results. If the Hurricane ever makes it to the JT...
I test drove a ZR2 thinking the powertrain was going to be pretty great. I was shocked at how underwhelming it really was. Some reviews peg it at 6.5 sec 0-60, whereas a gladiator with smaller tires crossed the line at 7.2.
I actually like a V6 or a small V8 but either would need to be of a larger displacement than 3.6L which they list as 220 but is actually 219.685479in³
it is common for them to just round it up. Back in the day one could easy solve displacement issue by having the engine bored out a few thousands bigger 10,20 or 30 thousandths . I have often wondered if anyone anywhere has ever taken one of these 3.6L and bored them out and installed a larger set of pistons. With this motor being computerized controlled wouldn't it just recalibrate for the extra fuel needed.
I'd let my wife touch me , but she hates my guts .. okay well after that let's just say as far as this all touching me I don't see it cause I already have one .
Well sounds like your wife and mine are on the same sheet of music lol
I test drove a ram with the new hurricane engine last when i pick up my new max tow just so i can get a feel for the drivetrain. The Power on that ram felt good really good and it seem to shift really smooth, not sure what trans that unit is running but i was really pleased with it overall. Even if it makes it way to the JT next year i would give it at least till 2027 before considering buying one.
I hope he does listen to his base and gives us more options and fun colors like he mentioned last week. I love the Gladiator and i really hope they wise up. So much potential!! Hopefully we see the mystical "Gladiator Hercules" edition soon. lolI actually like a V6 or a small V8 but either would need to be of a larger displacement than 3.6L which they list as 220 but is actually 219.685479in³
Okay back to the CEO of Jeep it literally comes down to him listening or towing the line.
Most that make it that quickly to the tow have towed the line in my experience and will kiss whomevers @$$ to keep a job if the say to trash the Gladiator He will do just that. Time will tell.
Yeah, I watched a video review of the RAM RHO. They were blasting that thru the desert and up some sheer sand walls. Crazy power!!! Looked like it was accelerating going UP the wall. Didn't sound as good as the "Hemi" but it didn't sound terrible either.
Old enough to know how a visor should work and to not need a $2 dollar Amazon fix to make it right, or old enough to expect all the mechanical parts to live long and well and to also want the best reputation in the industry. ….oh, that’s going to hit our wallets, won’t it
