Just finished a 2300 mile trip to and from Colorado in our stock 2010 Unlimited Rubicon. The 3.8 L engine is way under powered for long highway trips and inclines through the mountains. I was really disappointed; so much so that I am considering a may trade for a new 4 Runner. I have owned 3 other Jeeps dating back to the late 90's, and have been very happy with all of them. This one has made me question whether I will ever buy another Jeep.

Has anyone had any luck improving performance with reasonably priced add-on mods? I am not interested in spending the kind of money necessary for a supercharger or Hemi engine swap.

Thanks

I have heard the new pentastar engine is more powerful. Just hate to take a bath on a 2 year old vehicle. I am a previous 80 series Landcruiser owner and was extremely happy with the Toyota. I probably would have bought the 4 runner in place of the Jeep, but opted for the solid front axle(similar to my LC) over IFS, and expected the same level of quality as my previous 3 Jeeps.

If anyone knows of add-ons that will help (that are not $40K new Jeeps - LOL), please let me know.

When did you buy your 2010?
I waited over a year and a half to get my 12
And it was worth the wait

Gears and a programmer.

My jku has 35's with 4.10s. I live in the mountains and don't have a single complaint about my jeep. Or my two door that I sold a few months ago with 3.21 gears. I think it's decent.

On another note my company truck is a 2011 f150 with the 305hp v6 and it drives me nuts. Doesn't shift down when it should, slows on hills and revs like mad.

I have a 2010 unlimited rubicon too I put a power programmer on it new exhaust and air intake this combo gave me noticable increase in power, still not the power of my pickup but better!!

What programmer, exhaust, and intake? Any trouble with voiding warranty or extended warranty?
