2023 Grand Wagoneer L, Hurricane I6 OR V8, which would you choose?

☹I can't believe that the reviewer doesn't like the seat controls on the door panel.☹ Having them on the seat is such a pain to adjust or even just to fid the controls. And then you have to feel around to find which control you are using. It is much better when they are up where you can see them and easily get yo them.

I'd take the V8 without a question, guess I'd go with a Suburban now with the 6.2 V8!!!

Watching specifically because I'm interested in the Hurricane. I love the growl of an I-6. Big v-8's are great but if you get more power and torque and a different sound from the I-6 why not choose it? I think I would get one without the black roof due to summer heat.

I bought it with th 6. Excellent

You are so wrong about the seat controls. Having them on the door is where they belong. If you drive the Jeep for a while you will get used to them being there and then you will complain about them being down on the seat where you have to wiggle your arm down between the seat and the door panel and then fumble around to find the right control.

Turbo lag sucks! I do not see how this is an improvement over the 6.4 Hemi V8. I believe you can use 89 octane (mid grade) in the V8, but my understanding is that you must use premium in that turbo 6. Next, if you don't have a noticeable MPG gain, why bother? No way that 6 is going to be more durable over the long term than the V8. Also, when towing turbos are notoriously poor on MPG. Just check out the numbers on that Ford twin turbo V6 when towing in the F150. Lastly, I am hearing that there are problems with the engine due to carbon buildup on the valves and valve seats. The Grand Wagoner itself is awesome. Unfortunately Stelantis is committing corporate suicide by dropping the V8. Would have been better to see them invest in a brand new Hemi (true Hemi not the partial we have now) V8. They could have improved efficiency and emissions while keeping all that makes a V8 the most perfect engine!

Both require 91 octane

Ive got the V8 its amazing.

The black roof is miserable in the sun.

for me i wished there was a diesel option, and my choice would be a BMW B57 straight 6 engine ^^

[@blackice7408]

Right? For a rig this big and for the best fuel economy, they could've made an inline straight 6 with a possible hybrid option for more tq snd better fuel economy and to make up for the turbo lag
