What's the point in a 3.8l engine that only makes 200bhp? What a waste.

Well hopefully the point is a really flat torque curve.

2.8l Turbo, 250bhp, 260lb/ft torque.
Reasonably flat torque curve


Turbo in a low speed offroader doesn't sound like a great combo. lag lag lag slam instant power weeeee into a tree.
:laugh:

Nah. Look at the pic.

That's an awesome torque curve; full torque at less than 2,000RPM all the way to 3500+... impressive!

They got rid of the 4.0L I-6 :thumbsdown: I know it was for emissions purposes, but damn that was a great engine.

That's at full throttle, which is irrelevant for off road.

Used to own a Wrangler, great fun to drive.


Not practical when you have a baby though. Gas mileage sucked ass too.
