The 3.6/8-speed ZF is a great combo and UConnect embarresses anything Toyota has tech wise. F/R lockers, disconnecting swaybar, good 33s... it's amazing Jeep puts this out from the factory. 4Runners are amazing for what they are and as you know knock the pants off Jeep from a reliability/longevity perspective, but the JL is a great vehicle and if capability is what you are after than I'd look no further.
I love my 4Runner, but if I were going to do any serious wheeling I'd be back in a Wrangler as the JL is a HUGE improvement over what my JK was. Also, can't beat top and doors off. There is nothing like it.

Thanks for this. One thing I have just recently noticed is that the 2021 Rubicon Unlimited with the 3.6 Pentastar is ONLY available as a mild hybrid ( e torque) in automatic tranny configuration. I guess you can get the 3.6L with a manual without the e garbage but would prefer the auto as others would be driving it as well. As Jeep’s are already known for mechanicals I sure don’t want any added junk on it, more to fail. Think I would be crying at the reliability I would be dealing with in a JL? Thanks.
