Exactly why I came to the comments. I have the opportunity to buy with with 96k miles. Curious if it's gonna last much longer.

I only test drove one but if I didn't have a 392, this is the only other engine to get. I wish you could still get the 2.0 without the electric bullshit on it still.

Don't get the people thinking Stellantis knows how to make a good engine just because yours didn't break. First year engine from a crap company... yeah that is a poor mans bet. The turbo alone will ensure it doesn't last to 2-300k miles like a good NA engine will. I wish Stellantis could make a decent Jeep engine, but they haven't and Jeep hasn't made a decent engine since the old AMC 4.0 that they didn't even develop it. I love Jeep and my Wrangler, but I hate Stellantis and Chrysler for what they've done to Jeep. Rugged and reliable turned into cheaper than Chinese quality with lots of garbage bling. Luxury vehicles my butt. What is luxurious about being stuck on the side of the road. EDIT: The engine is an Alpha-romeo engine and has been around since 2016 and that is great news. This is what Motor reviewer.com has to say about it: "The longevity pledge for the 2.0 GME Hurricane engines, no matter how hackneyed it sounds, is frequent oil changes and premium gas only. With proper maintenance, this 2.0L Turbo-four engine is capable of lasting up to 150k miles without major problems." That is a much better than Stellantis building something from scratch and tossing it in. Maybe I can finally get that 4dr Rubicon I've been waiting on.

@@scottleggejr They got rid of the e-torque stuff on the standard 2.0T, my 2024 2.0 JLUR just has the standard motor.

How is it now?

We just a 2021 Willy w this engine I hope your right I’ve always been skeptic about engines with turbo

73 miles per hour seems to be the sweet spot for me 🙂

It's way better than the 3.6

Do you have the standard 2.0 or the 4xe with 2.0 ?

@@EddyGoyanes they don't make a pure 2.0 anymore new. Only the 4xe

Great to hear...likely buying a Rubicon 2020 with 50K on it...test drove it for 3 days and loved it.

I did the exact same thing when I rented one. Fun to drive in my opinion

Yeah haha. I've shocked some people trying to race me off the line.

I drove both. The v6 sounds like it's about to come apart at highway speeds where the 4 banger still has pickup! If I didn't have the 392, I would have gotten the 4 cyl.

@@scottleggejr The Pentastar engine was a mistake from the beginning. It did okay for what it was, but it was never designed for a Wrangler. I hope this guy's buddy isn't a Stellantis dope and they decided to start making a good product again. If it is just another Stellantis engine than it will be hot garbage. But maybe someone has finally got serious about the brand maybe we have some hope. Low tech, high reliability and over built is what we want (you can easily have luxury packages for the mallcrawlers with all the useless crapola that sells cars to unprepared people).

@@Hutch_Davenport makes zero sense why it wasn't just a 5.7 minus 2 cylinders.

@@scottleggejr Stellantis is a stupid company. They should have but every decision they make is for short term profit. It seems to be the standard today in the universities and in the corporate world.

After 9 months of owning the jeep .. any advice, an planing to purchase rubicon soon.. any suggestion?

Explain that last part again, you mean your rollbars are the same color as the outer paint or......?

How about now. Miles and 1 year later.

@@jumpstreet2425 nearing 80k miles, not a single problem.

I hope it works out for you.

I wonder how reliable all those electronics will be after bouncing around the desert and climbing steep rock trails like I do here in Arizona. I'm not against hybrid technology it does a great job of filling in the power curve almost making it flat when your 42 miles down a trail that took you 6 hours to get to last thing I want is some complicated mess to troubleshoot.

That included the electric engine specs too. I would love to see someone tune up their 2.0t for 275hp and 470ft/lbs of torque. Wouldn't last long, but it would be a lot of fun.

@@Hutch_Davenport Of course those numbers are for the combined hp/tq of both ICE and electric motors, which most folks know this is how they are always measured.

It is likely going to last a lot longer and be more reliable as well (the 6cyl). Even Toyota has issues with new engines, it would be unwise to expect Stellantis to do it well or even average.

here to see what odo you're at and seeing if its still going strong?

non e motore italiano 😡 e un GME sara uguale al 6 cil turbo 3000 un GME

There’s a turbo upgrade out for the Alfa’s, pushing 400 hp at 29 lbs of boost.

​@@tonunknown1Hoo, hoo hoo.. I can't wait for that to hit our shores. I got dibs on one of those setups.😉

🙊@@tonunknown1 ALFA ? sicuro non e ferrari 😄😄😄😄👎

That's pretty common with direct injection engines-you get a slight diesel-like clatter when cold.

How does the 4 cylinder get 18-19 mpg when my 5 ton Gx460 gets 22 mpg on highway with a V8? That’s crazy

Are you using Premium Gas. You’ll get way better gas mileage and performance. At least I do.

@@Nahhmah probably because wranglers are about as aerodynamic as a barn door.

@@DimplesChild401 I’ve tried premium some and didn’t see any increase in performance or gas mileage. I’ll probably trade it in on something with a V8 soon when I get a center console boat when we move to south Florida.

Do you average 20-21mpg with 37s and a lift? I'm in the market for a used Wrangler and I found one with the 2.0L. It's stock but I plan on lifting and adding 37s or 40s. What's your take on that?

Too new to know. I'll bet a house payment we can guess how it will end based on history, but I hope I'm wrong. I doubt a turbo'ed engine will be anything to talk about for longevity either. Too much heat.

Facts

Get a tazer mini and never worry about the stop start again

Did not think the 2.0T had an aux battery.

Is that engine quicker than the turbo 2.0

@@dcar7446 I never raced one but I’ll tell you my Jeep really moves and surprises people.

I say ayleast 150,000 to 100,000 at the least. You should have no problems.

I don't know the difficulty of removing this particular intake manifold, but on other makes, media blasting the intake valves free of carbon is SIMPLE and relatively inexpensive.

It's been used in Alfa Romeos since 2016, pretty good record thus far. I've been using CRC's GDI cleaner every oil change-hopefully that will help keep the carbon deposits at bay. So far these engines don't appear particularly problematic when it comes to carbon buildup.

Very rare. Our family owned one in the 90s. Very comfortable car.

😂😂

The ESS is by far the worst fucking feature. I wanna install a bypass but was worried about the same issue with the battery. I've just conditioned myself to turn the thing off as soon as I enter the car.

Turbo just don't stop working. Its usually a boost leak.

220ft/lbs of torque to the wheels(V6) vs 300ft/lbs at 3000rpm. 2.0 turbo wins all day.

That time ain't coming soon though because as of right now it's mostly the turbos in the service dept. 😂

True, reason is that when this engine was designed for the Alfa Giulia, a manual was never in the plans due to emission standards, coupled with the reduced demand for manuals in Europe. When Jeep adapted the engine for the Wrangler, cost benefits analysis probably showed it wasn't worth it... Sensible manufacturers these days..

it gets similar mpg's

Also WAY more reliable

Unless you have giant tires and changed up gearing you should be getting mid twenties fuel economy with regular gas.

Nothing Sea Foam can’t fix :)

I’m getting the same

What you just said is a myth 100%. There are lots of these out there with well over 100k on them that are just fine.

@@xxBLKSNXxx well i wasn't stating it as a fact just a thought really. Although i would say 100k miles isn't a lot. Not even out of a new hilux warranty mileage.

Every 4 cylinder sound like diesel engine 😂😂
