Engine

 

It is difficult enough to talk about design, but discussion about the engine is particularly demanding. You need to be well-informed about what Jeep has in the offer. However, according to some rumors Jeep is developing a new engine that is going to be placed under the hood of several models. It is also believed the 2019 Jeep Wrangler Pickup is going to have it. The new engine should be inline-4 turbocharged unit a.k.a. Hurricane. It should come with an output of 300 hp. Apart from this, nothing else is known about this engine, but it may have one more option.

And don’t expect a famous supercharged eight-cylinder that was placed under the hood of the Hellcat. This beast generates 707 horsepower and this is the amount of power you won’t see in a pickup. It is more likely that new model will get 3.8-liter Pentastar. This unit is used in the current Wrangler and it is naturally to assume it will be placed under the hood of the pickup. The 3.8l comes with an output of 285 horsepower. This was enough to power the compact and mid-size versions, but pickup will be heavier than these models thus the feeling will be different. There are even rumors about a diesel and hybrid model, but this is yet to be confirmed.
