Been driving the loaner Gladiator just a little bit. It is pretty anemic in stock form. That 3.6 seems like it wants to be at 5k RPM a lot just daily driving and while it makes a lot of noise doing it, it doesn't exactly scoot.
Cindy says I shouldn't get one now, too slow she says . I remind her how much slower my LJ is, but that doesn't register. After driving her 2.0 JLU, the JT does seem awful pokey though I have to agree.

I’m wondering if they’re mapped different. The JL is a rocket compared to my JT. Both 3.6. JL has 3.45s and the JT has 4.10. I know the JT weighs more but figure the 4.10 would make up for that. The JL just flat out scoots, and doesn’t like to rev out as much.Yeah, it's a Rubi. It's a rocket compared to my LJ. But her JLU is a rocket compared to the JT. Just way more low end on the 2.0 and it's a lot less revvy, doesn't downshift nearly as much as the 3.6 on the 8 speed. Feels like that 3.6 wants to drop a gear and find it's happy place at high RPM every chance it gets. I could get used to it. But it is a different driving experience.

I'll let you borrow my throttle commander for the JT - wakes it up, especially on the sportier settings.
I have the same experience. My wife gets 30% less fuel mileage than me in the same vehicle. Light to light drag circuit.WOT Baby!
I think that must be how my wife drives. WOT.
I daily drive an old 5.7 Ram 1500 with the 8 speed. In my daily driving, the computer reported MPG is always in the 15's, or climbs into the 16's for a longer freeway cruise. Cindy works about 3 miles away. She takes my truck to work for two days and the computer is reporting MPG in the 13's.
How's that work?
I should go check the Costco parking lot for KO2 donuts...

Doesn't he totally look like a Mike Thurston though? Like, if I hadn't met him, and you asked me to describe what a guy named Mike Thurston should look like, that'd be it.Spotted @Thursty in Green River tonight at a town hall meeting about a drilling project near town, apparently I wouldn't know Mike if he was standing right in front of me! 🤣 Good to finally meet you face to face and talk about what's happening in your neighborhood. 😉
