The Jeep Wrangler JK, a renowned off-road SUV, was produced from 2007 to 2018, with the 2012 model year representing a significant point in its evolution. This specific model year featured a diverse powertrain lineup, including the 2.8-liter diesel engine, the 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine, and the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 gasoline engine. The 2.8-liter diesel, a CRD (Common Rail Diesel) unit, provided robust torque for off-roading, while the 3.0-liter V6, also known as the "PowerTech," offered a balance of power and fuel efficiency. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, introduced in 2012, boasted a significant power increase compared to the previous 3.8-liter engine, making it a popular choice among Wrangler enthusiasts. These engines were coupled with a 5-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission, allowing for effortless cruising on paved roads and aggressive crawling across rough terrain.
