I would consider one if it had a 5.7 or 6.2 or 6.4 V8. But they will never give the people what they want.
Oh, and I'm sure the Bronco will have a bullshit EcoBust engine in it also. If, and it's a big IF it ever makes it to market. |

I think Lite Brite said it cost about $35,000 to 40,000 for their hemi swap on their JL. Why not procharge it and save some cash? I'd think 400-450HP would be reasonable. I think they should get back in the truck game but then being part of the Chrysler umbrella makes that unlikely. They could do a big Gladiator or even a modern M715 with power wagon guts and I think it would be awesome. |

If Hemi torque is what you seek just wait for the diesel. 260 lb-ft in the gas engine to over 400lb-ft in the diesel, should make for a fun drive. People buy horsepower, but drive torque, especially in a trail ride.

Has 2" Mopar lift. My comments: Wish it had more torque. Would have bought the diesel but I wanted a manual transmission more. When the wind is blowing it blows me all over the road. I'll probably get slightly larger tires when these wear. Love everything else. |

Aside from the fact that towing numbers are greatly reduced, the number one reason that I didn't wait on diesel is Tier motherfucking IV emissions, which has been and will continue to be a problem in those engines.

In all likelihood the upcharge will be a package upcharge for engine/transmission. The transmission itself will not be the same 8sp that is behind the 3.6 (8HP50), it will be an 8HP70 to handle the additional torque.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have read the tow numbers although I doubt they are the final numbers. If I recall correctly the diesel tow numbers were pretty close to the gas/manual numbers with this being attributed to cooling. I think they are about 4500 while the gas/auto Rubicon is 7000 and Sport MaxTow/auto is 7650.
