Don't get a jeep! Ours developed a heart defect 2 weeks before we paid it off. Turns out, it's a known issue that Jeep just doesn't care about addressing because "loyal" owners will just replace it (meaning the whole engine), and often do.
Echoing this. Stay away from Jeeps
It’s not just Jeep, it’s any FCA/Stellantis vehicle with the 3.6L Pentastar engine. If you know it’ll develop a head gasket leak after 100K and replace it ($5K) before it does, you won’t have another problem with it. If you don’t, it’ll total the engine ($15K). Happened to me. I hope there’s a class action law suit honestly.
As someone who kind of likes the idea of owning a Wrangler, this disappoints me to no end. :(
You can always swap the engine with a honda vtec engine, but in doing so you'll trigger the ire of other jeep owners who'll complain about the lack of torque at low rpm on honda engines.
