Blasphemy, fake news, NO WAY
I’m sure both will come with the 2.3 in the low trim models. They better offer the 3.0 for the higher trims but I’m holding out hope the raptor version gets the 3.5. For me to be a buyer I need the same tow stats the ranger has.

Most of the jeeps aren't very powerful, so they aren't competing with any ponies, so I doubt they'll push it too far.

Sure a SRT8, but they aren't in that category....

There's some old advice about not buying a vehicle the first year. So I'm target next year or the year after (maybe) if I can wait

I'll keep it at my 25 acre ranch on the trout stream in Jackson Hole along with the Vette collection in the heated aircraft hanger alongside the helicopter.

You had me going until the aircraft hangar. Good one!

Your first and only post trashes the Expedition and tells us all how you traded it in for a vehicle of a completely different class and caliber? Sounds like a troll to me.
Kind of funny all the responses. The whole point was that the dealer would not admit to doing anything wrong. So I did the only logical thing rather than pursuing the Lemon Law.

Not even close.
And that expedition listed for over $72,000. The dealer should have taken care of the problem, admitted their error instead of jerking me around.

i always find it funny that someone comes here, bashes our Expedition and tells us he got another brand, what is he trying to accomplish? Probably switched to a Kia Sportage.:Big Laugh:
The point was to warn folks about Advantage Ford in Stuart Florida.

Ill have to disagree - our '12 Wrangler Sport rips...its 3.6L produces nearly 290 hp and while its heavy by most standards at around 3800 lbs it hauls ass!

even in the unlimited (4 door, 4200 lb) trim it performs very well

I'm impressed they moved up from the 4.0L after what seemed like 25 years. lol

the 4.0L (I6) was a dog (at 129-200 hp).
the 3.8 v6 ('07-11) was no improvement over the I6.

the 3.8 is down nearly 100 hp compared to the 2012+ 3.6 (v6)...
the 3.6 is a tried and true (pentastar van) motor.
