I live in Moab Utah. The jeeping mecca of the world. I have owned and spent lots of time in modified 3.6 jks. I have also spent time behind the wheel of modified 3.6 JLs.All Rubicons. I recently got to spend time behind the wheel of a 2.0 turbo on 37s. With the stock 4.10 gears. It flat impressed me. It is the personal JLU of the owner of one of the biggest jeep rental / guide business in the West. The owner has a fleet of JLs. And the pick of what to drive for her personal use. She drives the 2.0 for a reason. It makes those 37s feel stock. A 3.6 does not. It also works great at slow speed rock crawling. Thanks in part to the electric motor helping the turbo at low rpms . I ask her how is the gas mileage. She said she's to busy drag race 3.6 jeeps to care. I have been waiting for the JLU diesel. I am seriously considering scrapping that plan and getting the Turbo, because when the tunes come out for it, this thing's gonna rip .
Joe Riley see that is what I am thinking as well, in my choice of JL engine! Now coming from folks that have much experience in the Jeep community this is swaying my decision and confirming my hunch on which way to go! It is just that 48 volt battery underneath that is the only concern. How will the turbo hold up over time, especially if off roading.
I know the mods are minor but I think they should have tested completely stock and THEN retested with selected mods and compare all four measurements. Just too many variables for an objective assessment.
I agree, w CAI and exhaust......it's possible you could get upwards of 10- 20 wheel hp.....maybe less but you could definitely feel that in the seat! Therefore , I feel the test is not valid in my opinion. I completely understand the point of it as their only quote minor mods ...... But those two mods together you can definitely feel a difference I say this from experience in my own cars. It's not drastic but it is a difference.
The problem with this test, as many, is that it's done at sea level. If you come up to altitude, in Colorado, where we START tests at 5500 feet and take them to 12,000 feet above sea level, is that the 3.2l V-6 is almost gutless at altitude. In contrast, the 2l turbo will easily do 90 mph at 12,000 feet - and do it without hesitation and with aplomb.
I test drove both the 2.0t and the 3.6 with the 8 speed auto back to back. Not just once but three times. Both jeeps were equally loaded. The 2.0t pulled significantly harder and easily beat the 3.6 to 60. The only thing better about the 3.6 was engine sound.
If you live in a very high city way over sea level like we have here in Mexico , the jeep V6 will lost so much power like 80 HP while the turbo lost like 40 HP , I think on that situation being over 2000 ft sea level the turbo JL will definitely feel much more powerful
As far as long term mod-ability, the aftermarket support for the 2.0 is great. With an intercooler pipe, tuner, exhaust and pedal commander, I can run 37's without regearing and still pull very strong off the line.
I probably do 60% Highway, 40% city stop and go and my 2021 2 door Wrangler sport with the 3.6 is giving me a combined range of 22 to 24 MPG. I really am pleasantly surprised by the fuel economy for the NA V6. Course its a different story when I take it out to the mountains and trails. But still nice to be able to have that kind of fuel economy with a capable rig.
Hmm. I’ll I can say is I drove both bone stock from the dealer. The turbo was the best choice. Lots of get up and go and with the e torque you don’t need premium fuel but it give you more power.
How is a turbo engine off road and rock crawling? I know cooling is important for turbos. Rock crawling probably doesn't help keep them turbos cool at all Im guessing. Would need very strong and reliable electric fans.
I have a 21 2 door Rubicon with the 2.0 turbo and thoroughly enjoy the low rpm torque. The majority of driving is in town and in city traffic so this is where this type of performance shines.
@@CJBroncoF150 so.. someone bought the v6, therefore it isn't allowed to be worse. I guess that's why when your co-driver said it felt exactly the same to him, you said.. yeah, but I'm going to give it to the V6. Maybe it just "sounds" faster to you?
Look with attention...he give power too late with the 20l turbo when already two seconds are passed...in the real time 20l turbo 0-60 is in 7.5 seconds
If you're going to mod the engine, the turbo will give you more headroom to modify, I wonder if that i4 can run flexfuel... The NA V6 maybe a few hp with bolt on mods.
My 2005 RubiHara LJ (726 of 1000) has the 4.0 with 6 speed. Good power and still feels great. Completely stock and will never be modified. Love that 4.0L il6 engine. In my opinion I think the 4.0L is better overall.
@@CJBroncoF150 totally agree! Miss my TJ due to the 4.0! Always wanted an LJ but only ever saw one for sale over here in the UK! Have had a 2.8 Diesel JKU for 11 years now! but looking to change it for a 3.6 JKU, impossible to get a 3.6 JLU over here unless I import one. Great videos by the way @CJ Off-Road!
@@chappy187 I actually own the turbo version and drove them back to back with the V6. Way more torque with the 2.0T. Maybe they were using 89 octane gas or something.
I have had a 2014 JKU Rubicon V6 and now a 2018 JLU Rubicon 2.0 turbo. I drove both 2018 JLU V6 and 2018 JLU 2.0. And the JLU is way faster than the JKU and the 2.0 is way faster than the V6
Did you notice the 5mpg difference between the two? That is 4000 bucks over 50k miles at current fuel prices. Looks like the 2.0 pays for itself. Of course, you go slightly slower on your 0-60, which apparently is why people buy wranglers.
The jeeps have different mods, different tires, etc. Hard to compare 0-60 40-60 etc but it was a good attempt and good info. I can tell you first hand my wifes stock Unlimited Rubicon 2.0 beat the heck out of my stock Unlimited Rubicon 3.6. You can feel the butt in seat in the 2.0 a lot more than the 3.6
I never planned to ever own a Jeep but after driving this turbo Jeep on vacation this week I am sold. I loved the engine then taking the doors off and the roof I couldn’t deny how great the Jeep is.
All good comments, but here it is. Turbo was jerky in the 2.0 and I didn't feel the comfort was there. But the 3.6 felt like a smoova, you know the heavy iron she hit him with. That turbo is like country or rap, nice for the youngster, but the 3.6 is for those of us that love the blues. I'm getting a smoova. 3.6🤗👍
Not sure if asked but why is the 2.0L not offered in manual? It defaults to automatic. When I try to do a build on Jeep’s website, manual defaults to the 3.6L.
The difference in performance is very close. But if you look at both on a dyno the V6 has a much more consistent output of torque. And the new Eboost electric motor adds even more torque to the V6 when you need it. For the street not a big deal but for off road that's what you want. Also the Pentastar V6 is a bullet proof dependable motor that's been out for years in many different vehicles. The 4 banger turbo has not proved itself and turbos are expensive when they go bad. I spent the extra money for the V6 it's worth it.
I will say that most of guys and some girls that have at least some limited knowledge of engine mechanics will go for the 3.6 L. Those that always crave the newest and most modern will go for turbo.
I only have experience with the 2.0L and gotta say, it's fantastic. It is very quick, faster than my toyota and still gets pretty decent gas mileage. If only it could mimic the engine sound of the V6, then it would be perfect.
Ivan Shabelev the 3.6 in my jeep has been a dog. The borings in the block for the heater keeps clogging up. The fix is a 1,700$ bill from the dealership. This has happened two years in a row. The turd of a jeep is for sale now. Jeep would not stand by ther product on this one. I am a jeep fan. But jeep is losing my love on this one. My opinion-3.6 is not reliable
@@MrAbsentdriver I feel ya, bro, I have been pretty lucky with mine knock on wood, but that turbo engine is Italian made and they are not famous for being reliable, in fact FCA had a lot of issues with even fires before releasing it for sale. The Pentastar while not a Toyota engine is pretty reliable of course there are some bad troublesome units out there and then the problem is FCA being a pain to fix the issues and providing good costumer service
@@TheDevonParker it's not the Turbo is the engine itself and the Hybrid interaction. That engine is not just a turbo engine it has a hybrid system with batteries for fuel economy
I have had 2011 JK (3.8); 2014 JKU (3.6); & current 2018 JKU (3.6). All get light off-road duty. I really hated the sluggish 3.8 but did what it needed to. Not a single issue with the 3.6 and most of my friends have not said much either. I wish they would put a Hemi in one; there is room. I have been considering a JL to add to my toys. I am not yet sure the 4 banger is worth the price of admission. With several recalls, negligible difference in performance numbers on road and economy. I would rather spend that difference on proven engine bolt-ons. I will wait a year or two and see what improves.
@@josephkool8411 intake+ exhaust will add power without a tune... the ecu will change timing in the fly for minor mods like that , its not like you're adding forced induction and huge power to where the stock ECU cant compensate enough for all the extra compressed air the intake+ exhaust on that 3.6L probably added 10-20 hp, so while may not sound like a lot but on a 285 hp motor that's about 4-7% increase in power.... enough to make the review not apples to apples
I think the best part about this is that the Jeep has two really great power trains to choose from. Go test drive a forerunner with the 4 L and the five speed in the jeep feels like a rocket shipping comparison. My money is on the 3.6 just because if it’s track record, the 2.0t has had some oil consumption issues in the Alfas and as much as Jeep says you can run regular 87 in the turbo, when it gets really hot outside, you can definitely feel it start to pull timing and then you’re stuck with the expensive premium fuel.
I agree with the videos findings, the V6 feels quicker 0-60 and in passing power as well. Im glad you were able to do the test with a lift and larger tires as that’s what most end up doing to them.
My 2.0T is much better accelerating at any RPM than my 3.6 Gladiator was. Both Jeeps running 35" tires. Acceleration on the V6 suffered greatly with the 35s. With the 2.0T, it doesn't even notice the larger tires. It drives great and passing is effortless. Also, the 2.0T can benefit more from a tune than the 3.6. I run 91-93 octane in the 2.0T. You lose power if you only run 87 in it.
@@garyvanmeter4911 I don't know. I've never put less than 91 in my 2.0, as that's the minimum that the manual suggests to use, as the vehicle is factory tuned for 91.
What is the gas milage comparison? Around town and on the highways? Since the i4 requires premium gas, which is more expensive, do you really save any money by by going with the i4?
I have a different brand 2L turbo. It was rated on regular fuel, premium not needed. For fuel economy, I once saw 1.5 mpg when I floored with a 3500 lb trailer, going up a steep hill. I have also managed 35 mpg going to a friend's cottage. ( Mostly highway but some gravel roads).
I have a 2020 2-door JL, and have to disagree with many of the 2.0 enthusiasts here. When buying my JL, I test drove both engines, in identically equipped 2-door Willys JLs. I had intended to buy the 2.0 when on my way to the dealership, but after test driving, the 2.0 just seemed weaker to me - like it had to try harder to accelerate, maintain highway speed, etc. The 3.6, in contrast, felt like it pulled effortlessly all the time. Just my opinion, but I ended up buying the Willys with the 3.6. (I would agree that at elevations high above sea level the turbo would have an advantage, but at sea level I'm not so sure.) But, we all have our opinions, which is what makes social media the annoying medium that is! ;)
I had the 3.6 in a 2012 and got the 3.6 in my 19. Yes, the 4 banger has power but it is working really hard or pushed hard to put out those specs. Im guessing the 4cly will not have any sort of longevity.
Still pumping strong in my 2020 2.0T. Currently running 33’s on 20’s. My goal this year is to get it ready for 40’s. 7k to run it right, but it will be a beast on and off-road when I’m done.
Just from this video, despite the slower times of the 2.0 I am only becoming more convinced that it might be a better option, looking at the MPG indicator the 3.6 gets a little over 10 while the 2.0 gets mid-teens, and the biggest thing is the hill climb, the 3.6 wanted to scream it's way to the top but I didn't hear the 2.0 do that at all. It just lugged along like a diesel.
Stock to stock, the two engines perform very similarly, but the 2.0T gets a lot better gas mileage and has a lot more modification potential. We have a 2.0T with BSG and it's very peppy. You can definitely see the impact of bigger tires without re-gearing and the lift. Factory 2 doors with the 2.0 can get under 6 seconds to 60 and easily in mid 20s for mpg. That 8 speed does let you get away with a lot in terms of tires and gearing without paying a major price.
Even if they were the same gearing, the 2.0t makes 47lbs-ft more torque to the wheels than the 3.6 does and only 6rwhp less, when dyno'd side-by-side. There's a video here on youtube of 2 identical stock JL's (3.6 and 2.0t) pulling dyno runs. I've owned a 3.6 JT and now 2.0t JLUR, and we also have a 3.6 JKUR. The 2.0t just outshines the 3.6 in acceleration. And all of them were/are on 35s. The 2.0 still pulls hard with the larger tires and builds speed quickly.
The 4L straight six in the TJs was the last great engine in a Wrangler. Everything else is a compromise forced by emission and economy standards. My TJ Rubicon could literally idle up most trails in 4L 1st gear. Just let the clutch out and watch it climb. I miss that rig...
I'd be interested in knowing how the two engines compare at higher elevations. Normally aspirated engines loose approximately 2.5% power per 1000' of "density" altitude. (You pilots will understand this) For those of us living in the mountain west will probably find the the 2.0L Turbo will be the engine of choice.
I'm glad I've found your channel, looking forward to this comparison. When the JL launches in the UK they're now only offering the 2 litre turbo and a 2.2 "multi jet" - whatever that it.
Jl owners manual 2.0 full synthetic oil, min 91 octane fuel, spark plugs changed every 10k miles V6 reg oil, cheap gas, spark plugs every 30k The 2.0 will cost more than the V6 and never recover any of the cost difference if you follow the manual. Personally I own the 2.0, I doubt the dealer ever read the manual otherwise I'd probably have taken the v6
also, calculate ($/gal)/(mpg) = ($/mi) and you can see there isn’t much of a difference and that a 2 door, manual tranny v6 has tge lowest $/mi in the jeep wrangler line up
What fuel are you putting in it? What type of tire and size? Are your wheels beadlocks? Do you keep up with oil changes and do tire rotations as needed? These things are very important.
Maybe I missed it, but I was hoping for some real world MPG numbers. My JK has the 3.6 and my fuel economy sucks. Can you cover that in the next episode?
I have a 2door JL with the 8 speed auto. I get 24-27 MPG highway. 18-22 city. 25 and 26 is what i get most commonly on the highway, and 21 is the most common city. Just accelerate slowly. Stock AT tires. his is not bad at all for a jeep wrangler. If you raise it and put bigger mud tires youll drop MPGs considerably. The JL is NOT a brick, they put some effort to make it more aerodynamic and I notice a huge differencr from the JK. The wrangler JL is to me the best jeep ever made, and I am sorry for all the italian haters out there. I think the turbo engine is a bold innovative move and quite awesome, but I still prefer the V6 for obvious reasons.
This comparison is ridiculous. Modded v6 vs unmodded turbo 4. How great. I test drove both and the turbo 4 is easily the better engine. Chose it without hesitation
This is an interesting video in many ways. I drove both the 3.6 and the 2.0T before ultimately buying the 2.0T. They were actually very close in comparison when i drove them. I wonder if the 2.0T in this video was using 87 or premium unleaded. If i put 87 in my 2.0T its quite a bit slower, and this seems like how it would be. The 2.0T was faster than the 3.6 when i drove them back to back, so thats kind of puzzling. Not only that but a lot of other reviews show that the 2.0T was faster.
3.6L all day every day. 2.0L is a waste of money, literally. You pay more at purchase time, more to maintain it, more for future repairs, more for fuel, etc. And what do you really get? Slightly more torque, and slightly less horsepower. Horrible trade-off. And just wait until that BSG unit dies out of warranty, or that turbo, or that 48v system with wiring and coolant hoses running UNDER the Jeep. Just terrible....
Hi CJ Thanks for the content . It is a great thing Jeep is offering two engine options In general I'm a traditionalist I like NA V6 and V8 engines especially for a daily driver. The other point I want to make here is Jeep wrangler is not about going fast , If I want to go fast and really care about 0-60 times then I would get a muscle/sport car.
Has anyone had any issues with the 2.0 turbo ? I had the 3.6 and I think I know all the issues it had throughout the years like the oil cooler blowing up at 40k miles
@@dawn7998 you're obviously a complete and total moron when it comes to that engine. It's one of the most reliable engines ever made, I've personally had two go 300,000 miles. You should keep your mouth shut when you have no idea what you're talking about.
If you want an ancient technologically dead engine platform go get an ancient technologically dead YJ its 2019, I'll take a 3.6 over the 4.0 anyday for a vehicle I drive everyday.
My wife has a 2013 rubicon with 250k miles. Regular oil changes and maintenance. Still has plenty of life. I'm lookn for a 2018-19 unlimited sport myself. I'm just afraid the turbo engines will have a shorter life span vs the v6.
@@rocketman3776 The 5.9 is great, but it sorta misses the point. I'm with 3 liter turbo manual guy on this one. I'd probably still buy it in auto if it was the only option, provided it was a durable, high gear count unit.
It would make sense putting the Mercedes 3L diesel but that would bring these jeeps over 70K lol. I predict in 5 years only doctors will be able to afford a jeep. in the last 10 years jeeps have gone up by 7000$ I remember when you could buy a sport for 21K new now they are 34K and you have less options to choose from. A Rubicon was 38K it's ridiculous.
How long would you say an engine needs to be around to be proven? As of today's comment, it's June 2022 now and I feel like the 2.0L in the Wrangler should have any bugs worked out by now so I'm considering the 2.0L over the V6. The $$$ differences is $500 which is negligible on a vehicle this expensive.
Test drove both myself and I felt the V6 turbo was zippier than the other. But both are faster than my old 2011 JKU. My only concern is the 4cyl being electrical and mechanical and how that will handle water. I heard it’s got a tiny battery under one of the seats. What if that gets wet ?? Either way as of Sunday I have the 4 cyl 2019 works for me !$
I waited an extra 4 months for my 2.0 turbo. WELL worth the wait. I am averaging 19-20 mpg city 24-25 on two lane roads going 55 mph. I have had the V6 in the JK Wrangler and the 2.0 motor way out preforms the v6. Pulls easily what the V6 could do.
Awesome awesome video!!!! Right to the point. I have a 2015 renegade trailhawk but I use to have the 2011 challenger v6 and a 2015 challenger v8 hemi don’t ask why the two. Lol. I think I preferred the v6 honestly. It was a good engine for the challenger. The hemi was just way too much power for my taste anyway. The 3.6 v6 was just right. As for the Jeep Wrangler I don’t know how it would feel with a heavy wrangler. But I would trust the V6 over that new turbo one any day. And based on your tests I think the v6 performed better. Do a Jeep renegade test next please lol I love watching renegade videos on here.
2.0T is very reliable. Keep up with your maintenance and 5 Tire Rotation and regear, up grade ball joints, knuckles, links and arms when getting bigger tires and this thing will run just as good as any Off-Road SUV or better.
I think the 'performance' from the 3.6 going up the hill was all 'in your ears'. If you were only doing 50 anyway, about the only difference you would get would be the sound coming out of the tailpipe. That's the difference I got from the video. You were holding a steady speed and not passing anything, so....
I liked the 2L T more and when tuning is going to be available it will kill that boring V6. I wish they put a better V6 in the Jeeps FCA have so many options that using that 7 year old engine is denying the potential Wranglers could have. Having all that extra torque makes more sense as not many people are raving out the V6 to get all the 285 hp it's putting out. That V6 is so slow under 5000 rpm.
After driving both, the V6 was fine. But I was actually very impressed by the 2.0T. It was faster, quicker, better in general to drive, especially considering the majority of the time you are going to be driving on roads and in traffic.
Bought a 2.0 and didn't really expect much from it, I'm much happier with it than having driven 3.6 JLs. Boosting around town and chugging along under 1.5k rpms means the e torque helps it and it just sips fuel.

Why does the screen show the 2.0 L is only averaging 10.6 mpg at 4:42 ?
I really expected more from the turbo, but I have to say I’d probably go for the tried and true V6 anyway.
Same boat here, i've got the 3.6 in my JK.

@@CJBroncoF150 so.. someone bought the v6, therefore it isn't allowed to be worse. I guess that's why when your co-driver said it felt exactly the same to him, you said.. yeah, but I'm going to give it to the V6. Maybe it just "sounds" faster to you?
Look with attention...he give power too late with the 20l turbo when already two seconds are passed...in the real time 20l turbo 0-60 is in 7.5 seconds
Go drive them. They're night and day. The 4 cylinder is much quicker, and torque just crushes the 6. It has less when you're above 60 and mash it.
If you're going to mod the engine, the turbo will give you more headroom to modify, I wonder if that i4 can run flexfuel... The NA V6 maybe a few hp with bolt on mods.
Had both, 2.0L Turbo ALL DAY!!!!
3.6 hands down. Proven. Add to that longevity over a turbo.
The 3.6 is a great engine!
that exhaust sounds sweet in the V6
Thanks!
My 2005 RubiHara LJ (726 of 1000) has the 4.0 with 6 speed. Good power and still feels great. Completely stock and will never be modified. Love that 4.0L il6 engine. In my opinion I think the 4.0L is better overall.
4.0L is one of the best engines ever made!
@@CJBroncoF150 totally agree! Miss my TJ due to the 4.0! Always wanted an LJ but only ever saw one for sale over here in the UK! Have had a 2.8 Diesel JKU for 11 years now! but looking to change it for a 3.6 JKU, impossible to get a 3.6 JLU over here unless I import one. Great videos by the way @CJ Off-Road!
My rubicon with the 3.6 and 4.10 ratio is a rocket, couldn't be happier.
Oh yeaaah!
I have driven the 2 and the turbo feels way faster then the V6
Same. Drove two Saharas exactly the same except the engine. The 2.0t felt way faster and had much more torque than the V6
@@chappy187 I actually own the turbo version and drove them back to back with the V6. Way more torque with the 2.0T. Maybe they were using 89 octane gas or something.
Interesting, i felt that the v6 had some more power low end!
I have had a 2014 JKU Rubicon V6 and now a 2018 JLU Rubicon 2.0 turbo. I drove both 2018 JLU V6 and 2018 JLU 2.0. And the JLU is way faster than the JKU and the 2.0 is way faster than the V6
Did you notice the 5mpg difference between the two? That is 4000 bucks over 50k miles at current fuel prices. Looks like the 2.0 pays for itself. Of course, you go slightly slower on your 0-60, which apparently is why people buy wranglers.
I just subscribed. I love 💕 this channel. Keep up your good work 😍🥰
I got a 2019 JL 2.0 and it is pretty good. No issues on most trails i've taken
Why I feeling you bias towards 3.6?
when they make a chip for the turbo it will add about 90 hp.
I'm not trust me!
@@user-fl4wn9dn2c got only 30hp out of it
@@muhammadwahidy4684 well that was less than I hoped for.. the 3.6 has seemingly been a good motor.
The jeeps have different mods, different tires, etc. Hard to compare 0-60 40-60 etc but it was a good attempt and good info. I can tell you first hand my wifes stock Unlimited Rubicon 2.0 beat the heck out of my stock Unlimited Rubicon 3.6. You can feel the butt in seat in the 2.0 a lot more than the 3.6
Hi Jeff, how are they holding up? what engine would you say is doing better for you?
@@XxAlexanderProxx 3.6 is going to last longer
Why is it going to last longer. The 3.6 is higher revving, so more wear and tear?
I never planned to ever own a Jeep but after driving this turbo Jeep on vacation this week I am sold. I loved the engine then taking the doors off and the roof I couldn’t deny how great the Jeep is.
any regrets with not getting a manual?
@@Mark-iz5in it’s a jeep
All good comments, but here it is. Turbo was jerky in the 2.0 and I didn't feel the comfort was there. But the 3.6 felt like a smoova, you know the heavy iron she hit him with. That turbo is like country or rap, nice for the youngster, but the 3.6 is for those of us that love the blues. I'm getting a smoova. 3.6🤗👍
Not sure if asked but why is the 2.0L not offered in manual? It defaults to automatic. When I try to do a build on Jeep’s website, manual defaults to the 3.6L.
The difference in performance is very close. But if you look at both on a dyno the V6 has a much more consistent output of torque. And the new Eboost electric motor adds even more torque to the V6 when you need it. For the street not a big deal but for off road that's what you want. Also the Pentastar V6 is a bullet proof dependable motor that's been out for years in many different vehicles. The 4 banger turbo has not proved itself and turbos are expensive when they go bad. I spent the extra money for the V6 it's worth it.
Whatever dude
Displacement matters
I have a l4 turbo..... good fun.
Please be sure to do same comparison with the EcoDiesel when it comes out
Kelly Hatcher when is that coming out
It could happen any day in new scrambler truck and JL wrangler

The 2.0 turbo was way better for everyday driving. It was a literal rocket ship. The V6 felt lethargic in comparison
Dude, this is a bust. Different models (unlimited vs 2dr), different mods (intake, exhaust, 35's, etc). This is conjecture. Fake news
Tune, Intake and exhaust and the 2.0L will be a beast. Tune is key for turbos.
That's what i'm hearing!
I will say that most of guys and some girls that have at least some limited knowledge of engine mechanics will go for the 3.6 L. Those that always crave the newest and most modern will go for turbo.
Good point for sure
My 2.0 Jeep get 8.10 sec on 37's with 4.56 gear ratios and k&n air intake, what do you think. It s a good time?
I only have experience with the 2.0L and gotta say, it's fantastic. It is very quick, faster than my toyota and still gets pretty decent gas mileage. If only it could mimic the engine sound of the V6, then it would be perfect.
Put borla attack exhaust
Which of the two engines feels best at slow seed offroading and in low range? This is important. I suspect 3.6 will have superior response and control
Differences V6= reliable, proven easy maintenance. Turbo= unknown reliability, high maintenance, overall more expensive, complicated cooling system.
Ivan Shabelev the 3.6 in my jeep has been a dog. The borings in the block for the heater keeps clogging up.
The fix is a 1,700$ bill from the dealership. This has happened two years in a row. The turd of a jeep is for sale now. Jeep would not stand by ther product on this one.
I am a jeep fan. But jeep is losing my love on this one.
My opinion-3.6 is not reliable
@@MrAbsentdriver I feel ya, bro, I have been pretty lucky with mine knock on wood, but that turbo engine is Italian made and they are not famous for being reliable, in fact FCA had a lot of issues with even fires before releasing it for sale. The Pentastar while not a Toyota engine is pretty reliable of course there are some bad troublesome units out there and then the problem is FCA being a pain to fix the issues and providing good costumer service
Turbos have been common for 40 years, how do you consider them unproven or unreliable?
@@TheDevonParker it's not the Turbo is the engine itself and the Hybrid interaction. That engine is not just a turbo engine it has a hybrid system with batteries for fuel economy
I have had 2011 JK (3.8); 2014 JKU (3.6); & current 2018 JKU (3.6). All get light off-road duty. I really hated the sluggish 3.8 but did what it needed to. Not a single issue with the 3.6 and most of my friends have not said much either. I wish they would put a Hemi in one; there is room. I have been considering a JL to add to my toys. I am not yet sure the 4 banger is worth the price of admission.
With several recalls, negligible difference in performance numbers on road and economy. I would rather spend that difference on proven engine bolt-ons. I will wait a year or two and see what improves.
would like to have seen mpg difference as well, how well they suck up fuel going up this hill ...
WTF? Air intake and other mods on the V6 comparing to a stock eTorque? Not a correct comparison at all.
Air intake aint gonna do nothing without a tune. it might even slow it down.
@@josephkool8411 intake+ exhaust will add power without a tune... the ecu will change timing in the fly for minor mods like that , its not like you're adding forced induction and huge power to where the stock ECU cant compensate enough for all the extra compressed air
the intake+ exhaust on that 3.6L probably added 10-20 hp, so while may not sound like a lot but on a 285 hp motor that's about 4-7% increase in power.... enough to make the review not apples to apples
I think the best part about this is that the Jeep has two really great power trains to choose from. Go test drive a forerunner with the 4 L and the five speed in the jeep feels like a rocket shipping comparison. My money is on the 3.6 just because if it’s track record, the 2.0t has had some oil consumption issues in the Alfas and as much as Jeep says you can run regular 87 in the turbo, when it gets really hot outside, you can definitely feel it start to pull timing and then you’re stuck with the expensive premium fuel.
Great video!! Thanks for this. So excited to see how the diesel is. Diesel + manual= epic.
Thank you!
My Jeep Cherokee xj has almost 400,000 miles and is just like new...4.0 AW4 BEAST!!!!
Send it all the way to 500,000!! Thanks for watching!
I agree with the videos findings, the V6 feels quicker 0-60 and in passing power as well. Im glad you were able to do the test with a lift and larger tires as that’s what most end up doing to them.
Thanks for the comment!
My 2.0T is much better accelerating at any RPM than my 3.6 Gladiator was. Both Jeeps running 35" tires. Acceleration on the V6 suffered greatly with the 35s. With the 2.0T, it doesn't even notice the larger tires. It drives great and passing is effortless. Also, the 2.0T can benefit more from a tune than the 3.6. I run 91-93 octane in the 2.0T. You lose power if you only run 87 in it.
@@phrogusmc How much did the mpg drop from using 87 octane? Was the performance drop really noticeable?
@@garyvanmeter4911 I don't know. I've never put less than 91 in my 2.0, as that's the minimum that the manual suggests to use, as the vehicle is factory tuned for 91.
Thank you for this video I am buying a Jeep soon and was trying to figure out my engine and now I’m picking the 6 over the turbo
After trying both engines I actually bought the turbo. So much nicer
What is the gas milage comparison? Around town and on the highways? Since the i4 requires premium gas, which is more expensive, do you really save any money by by going with the i4?
MPG test is coming soon!
I have a different brand 2L turbo. It was rated on regular fuel, premium not needed. For fuel economy, I once saw 1.5 mpg when I floored with a 3500 lb trailer, going up a steep hill. I have also managed 35 mpg going to a friend's cottage. ( Mostly highway but some gravel roads).
please help me should I choose 2.0 turbo or 3.6 v6 and which one spend more fuel thanks .
I have a 2020 2-door JL, and have to disagree with many of the 2.0 enthusiasts here. When buying my JL, I test drove both engines, in identically equipped 2-door Willys JLs. I had intended to buy the 2.0 when on my way to the dealership, but after test driving, the 2.0 just seemed weaker to me - like it had to try harder to accelerate, maintain highway speed, etc. The 3.6, in contrast, felt like it pulled effortlessly all the time. Just my opinion, but I ended up buying the Willys with the 3.6. (I would agree that at elevations high above sea level the turbo would have an advantage, but at sea level I'm not so sure.) But, we all have our opinions, which is what makes social media the annoying medium that is! ;)
Just picked up the 3.6 ,you can keep the turbo.I disconnected the stop / start you can have it too.
I had the 3.6 in a 2012 and got the 3.6 in my 19. Yes, the 4 banger has power but it is working really hard or pushed hard to put out those specs. Im guessing the 4cly will not have any sort of longevity.
Still pumping strong in my 2020 2.0T. Currently running 33’s on 20’s. My goal this year is to get it ready for 40’s. 7k to run it right, but it will be a beast on and off-road when I’m done.
I will also agree none diesel engines don't last and hold up as well with turbos.Heat is a turbos enemy too.
Am I the only one here for the fuel millage
Then why did u buy a Jeep?
@@gordmccann6258exactly!
you don't put a condom on unless you're gonna screw and you don't buy a Jeep for fuel mileage. LOL
Lmao please return your jeep and let someone deserving have it go buy an Acura kid
Just from this video, despite the slower times of the 2.0 I am only becoming more convinced that it might be a better option, looking at the MPG indicator the 3.6 gets a little over 10 while the 2.0 gets mid-teens, and the biggest thing is the hill climb, the 3.6 wanted to scream it's way to the top but I didn't hear the 2.0 do that at all. It just lugged along like a diesel.
Stock to stock, the two engines perform very similarly, but the 2.0T gets a lot better gas mileage and has a lot more modification potential. We have a 2.0T with BSG and it's very peppy. You can definitely see the impact of bigger tires without re-gearing and the lift. Factory 2 doors with the 2.0 can get under 6 seconds to 60 and easily in mid 20s for mpg. That 8 speed does let you get away with a lot in terms of tires and gearing without paying a major price.
Agreed. I have a 2 door 2023 Jeep Wrangler with 2.0 engine and it is very fast. I did not expect a Jeep to be so fast.
That's why I love owning a Jeep. If I'm doing the speed limit I definitely know and can compensate.
Right on!
My cousin has a 2019 2.0l with 34000 miles and no issues as of yet
thats awesome
Mine is the 2020 2.0 it moves pretty good I’m also factory tires and wheels I won’t be going over 33son it
Is the gearing for both the same? That would definitely make a difference in 0 to 60 acceleration.
Even if they were the same gearing, the 2.0t makes 47lbs-ft more torque to the wheels than the 3.6 does and only 6rwhp less, when dyno'd side-by-side. There's a video here on youtube of 2 identical stock JL's (3.6 and 2.0t) pulling dyno runs. I've owned a 3.6 JT and now 2.0t JLUR, and we also have a 3.6 JKUR. The 2.0t just outshines the 3.6 in acceleration. And all of them were/are on 35s. The 2.0 still pulls hard with the larger tires and builds speed quickly.
The V6 really sounds good.
said no one ever
The 4L straight six in the TJs was the last great engine in a Wrangler. Everything else is a compromise forced by emission and economy standards. My TJ Rubicon could literally idle up most trails in 4L 1st gear. Just let the clutch out and watch it climb. I miss that rig...
I had a 06 Impact orange 6 speed Rubicon. What a Billy goat in 4lo!!!
my buddy works for dodge. he is the main sevice writer. FYI... he said to stay away from the v6. get the 2.0 turbo or 3.0 turbo diesal. he would know.
I'd be interested in knowing how the two engines compare at higher elevations. Normally aspirated engines loose approximately 2.5% power per 1000' of "density" altitude. (You pilots will understand this) For those of us living in the mountain west will probably find the the 2.0L Turbo will be the engine of choice.
Good next video idea!
Take the extra $1,000 the turbo 2.0 cost and put it towards putting a turbo on your 3.6 and there would be no contest.
@@terrywaters6186 so you will only have to spend another $6800-7500 then.
I'm glad I've found your channel, looking forward to this comparison. When the JL launches in the UK they're now only offering the 2 litre turbo and a 2.2 "multi jet" - whatever that it.
Thank you, make sure you subscribe :)
@@CJBroncoF150 For sure!
2.2 Multi-jet is a diesel engine
@@biteuk yea I know - it’s called sarcasm 🤣
Going to test drive a 2.0t at the weekend. Hope it does what it says on the tin 😉
Jl owners manual
2.0 full synthetic oil, min 91 octane fuel, spark plugs changed every 10k miles
V6 reg oil, cheap gas, spark plugs every 30k
The 2.0 will cost more than the V6 and never recover any of the cost difference if you follow the manual.
Personally I own the 2.0, I doubt the dealer ever read the manual otherwise I'd probably have taken the v6
Pay close attention to oil. It must have a specific rating or you will shoot rods out
also, calculate ($/gal)/(mpg) = ($/mi) and you can see there isn’t much of a difference and that a 2 door, manual tranny v6 has tge lowest $/mi in the jeep wrangler line up
Very True. I agree. Is it more fun to drive? More torque
Xicuter84 spark plugs every 10k? Bs lol you sure it didn’t say 100k
Evin Jacobs it’s not diesel...
Not sure why but my 2020 Rubi 4C Turbo is only giving me 14mpg city driving. What am I doing wrong?
What fuel are you putting in it? What type of tire and size? Are your wheels beadlocks? Do you keep up with oil changes and do tire rotations as needed? These things are very important.
Maybe I missed it, but I was hoping for some real world MPG numbers. My JK has the 3.6 and my fuel economy sucks. Can you cover that in the next episode?
Yes, MPGs will be in a future episode 😎
I’m getting about 14 mpg driving locally, 2016 Wrangler Unlim 75th Anniversary.
Driving a brick with a 4x4 drivetrain is always going to suck on MPGs. Nothing on the JL is going to make a meaningful difference. Is what it is.
You missed the part where the v6 has exhaust and cool air intake
I have a 2door JL with the 8 speed auto. I get 24-27 MPG highway. 18-22 city. 25 and 26 is what i get most commonly on the highway, and 21 is the most common city. Just accelerate slowly.
Stock AT tires. his is not bad at all for a jeep wrangler. If you raise it and put bigger mud tires youll drop MPGs considerably.
The JL is NOT a brick, they put some effort to make it more aerodynamic and I notice a huge differencr from the JK. The wrangler JL is to me the best jeep ever made, and I am sorry for all the italian haters out there. I think the turbo engine is a bold innovative move and quite awesome, but I still prefer the V6 for obvious reasons.
This comparison is ridiculous. Modded v6 vs unmodded turbo 4. How great. I test drove both and the turbo 4 is easily the better engine. Chose it without hesitation
This is an interesting video in many ways. I drove both the 3.6 and the 2.0T before ultimately buying the 2.0T. They were actually very close in comparison when i drove them. I wonder if the 2.0T in this video was using 87 or premium unleaded. If i put 87 in my 2.0T its quite a bit slower, and this seems like how it would be. The 2.0T was faster than the 3.6 when i drove them back to back, so thats kind of puzzling. Not only that but a lot of other reviews show that the 2.0T was faster.
Its definitely a close comparison!
They used 87 no doubt. Dumbasses
Turbo definitely performs better with Premium Fuel.
how much more silent the 2.0T is and room for tuning 🙂
Drove both and got the 3.6 manual.
Which one actually burns more fuel ?
Also do you require Supreme gas to achieve those numbers in the V4 ?
3.6L all day every day. 2.0L is a waste of money, literally. You pay more at purchase time, more to maintain it, more for future repairs, more for fuel, etc. And what do you really get? Slightly more torque, and slightly less horsepower. Horrible trade-off. And just wait until that BSG unit dies out of warranty, or that turbo, or that 48v system with wiring and coolant hoses running UNDER the Jeep. Just terrible....
@Kamil Korzeniowski for now lol.
Lol at the BSG unit failing
Great Video! As soon as you said Pennsylvania I'm like OHH I wonder where!
Hi CJ
Thanks for the content . It is a great thing Jeep is offering two engine options
In general I'm a traditionalist I like NA V6 and V8 engines especially for a daily driver.
The other point I want to make here is Jeep wrangler is not about going fast , If I want to go fast and really care about 0-60 times then I would get a muscle/sport car.
Has anyone had any issues with the 2.0 turbo ? I had the 3.6 and I think I know all the issues it had throughout the years like the oil cooler blowing up at 40k miles
4.0 Straight 6 please
Piece of shit after 100,000 miles you'll need a new motor out of the crate that's why don't make them anymore dip shit
@@dawn7998 you're obviously a complete and total moron when it comes to that engine. It's one of the most reliable engines ever made, I've personally had two go 300,000 miles. You should keep your mouth shut when you have no idea what you're talking about.
If you want an ancient technologically dead engine platform go get an ancient technologically dead YJ its 2019, I'll take a 3.6 over the 4.0 anyday for a vehicle I drive everyday.
One of the best engines ever made
I would go with the V6, it's naturally aspirated and doesn't need "a mild hybrid system" to make up for anything. 😉
If anything? I'm thinking that the v-6 will outlast the turbo 4🤷♂️
I rented the v6 4-door. it was a beast
First time I ever saw a 0-60 test based only on “I think the 3.6 felt faster”. Wondering if you are aware that you can actually use a timer.
We did use a timer through our editting, and i was right once the results came in!
My wife has a 2013 rubicon with 250k miles. Regular oil changes and maintenance. Still has plenty of life.
I'm lookn for a 2018-19 unlimited sport myself. I'm just afraid the turbo engines will have a shorter life span vs the v6.
3.0l turbocharged v6 diesel and a 6 speed manual then ill buy one
cordellej how about a 5.9L Cummins....
@@rocketman3776 The 5.9 is great, but it sorta misses the point. I'm with 3 liter turbo manual guy on this one. I'd probably still buy it in auto if it was the only option, provided it was a durable, high gear count unit.
They've already released that they will NOT be offering a manual with the 3.0 diesel. Which makes me sad.
It would make sense putting the Mercedes 3L diesel but that would bring these jeeps over 70K lol. I predict in 5 years only doctors will be able to afford a jeep. in the last 10 years jeeps have gone up by 7000$ I remember when you could buy a sport for 21K new now they are 34K and you have less options to choose from. A Rubicon was 38K it's ridiculous.
We would too!
Really love my 3.6 jlu 😇 . We don’t use stop start much in ky.
Takeaway - 3.6 better all around since it was in a heavier JLU.
How long would you say an engine needs to be around to be proven? As of today's comment, it's June 2022 now and I feel like the 2.0L in the Wrangler should have any bugs worked out by now so I'm considering the 2.0L over the V6. The $$$ differences is $500 which is negligible on a vehicle this expensive.
You won’t regret it! Just stay out of water that comes over your tires, or you will experience a lot of lag because of water in your diffs.
I like the v6 a lot it’s a great engine and take to boost extremely well! Look up ripp supercharges on the 3.6 so much potential from pentastar
I had a ripp kit on my JK and absolutely loved it!
Test drove both myself and I felt the V6 turbo was zippier than the other. But both are faster than my old 2011 JKU. My only concern is the 4cyl being electrical and mechanical and how that will handle water. I heard it’s got a tiny battery under one of the seats. What if that gets wet ?? Either way as of Sunday I have the 4 cyl 2019 works for me !$
A turbo is just another thing to break and when I want to race I don't jump in my jeep!
The 3.6 moves just fine!
I waited an extra 4 months for my 2.0 turbo. WELL worth the wait. I am averaging 19-20 mpg city 24-25 on two lane roads going 55 mph. I have had the V6 in the JK Wrangler and the 2.0 motor way out preforms the v6. Pulls easily what the V6 could do.
The 2.0 gets crazy good economy!
Awesome awesome video!!!! Right to the point. I have a 2015 renegade trailhawk but I use to have the 2011 challenger v6 and a 2015 challenger v8 hemi don’t ask why the two. Lol. I think I preferred the v6 honestly. It was a good engine for the challenger. The hemi was just way too much power for my taste anyway. The 3.6 v6 was just right. As for the Jeep Wrangler I don’t know how it would feel with a heavy wrangler. But I would trust the V6 over that new turbo one any day. And based on your tests I think the v6 performed better. Do a Jeep renegade test next please lol I love watching renegade videos on here.
Thank you very much for watching, please subscribe :)
you should of use the digital speedometer for the 0-60, would be more accurate that the needle!
2 sec from 0 to 10 mph in the Turbo vs under 1 sec from 0-10 mph in the V6. A little brake torque and the Turbo would be gone.
Hmmm.. that sounds like a good idea for a future video!
How accurate are your speedometers?
Would be nice to see 0-60 comparison in a straight line
How reliable is this engine? Any owner who already has about 2-3 years with him?
2.0T is very reliable. Keep up with your maintenance and 5 Tire Rotation and regear, up grade ball joints, knuckles, links and arms when getting bigger tires and this thing will run just as good as any Off-Road SUV or better.
I think the 'performance' from the 3.6 going up the hill was all 'in your ears'. If you were only doing 50 anyway, about the only difference you would get would be the sound coming out of the tailpipe. That's the difference I got from the video. You were holding a steady speed and not passing anything, so....
I wonder how those engines differ pulling a sea doo or snowmobile. Or lawn mowers on a trailer. And what is the diffence in gas mileage?
The 2.0 will get better economy towing especially on the highway!
@@CJBroncoF150 thx!
...or pulling a 3000lb boat through the mountains.
I liked the 2L T more and when tuning is going to be available it will kill that boring V6. I wish they put a better V6 in the Jeeps FCA have so many options that using that 7 year old engine is denying the potential Wranglers could have. Having all that extra torque makes more sense as not many people are raving out the V6 to get all the 285 hp it's putting out. That V6 is so slow under 5000 rpm.
The 2.0 will be great once more tuning is available!
No discussion of the E-Torque??? No discussion of the required or recommended grade of fuel for the turbo???
