Those guys weren't talking about the new Pentastar V6 introduced in 2012. It's getting great reviews. 90 more HP over the previous V6.
I only will occasionally go off roading with this Jeep. It's mostly for my vacant land research I occasionally will need a 4x4 to get around on the properties I'm checking out. My 2WD truck is not adequate. The reviews have been quite favorable of this new power train and 2013 version of the Wrangler Sport. Still shopping around though, I might get a 4WD truck to solve my problem.
