If feel like you got plenty of grunt on the 2.5L 4cyl, you'll love the V6.

Bwahahahaha. If everyone who drives a Jeep cares about what CR says about
cars, we would all be driving Camrys and Accords.

Quadra trac is a full-time version of Jeep 4wd, but to my knowledge no
Wrangler has ever had it, they all came with Command-Trac part time 4wd. '06
model is still the TJ, BTW.

Re: 2006 OR 2007 RUBICON? (Consumer Reports)
After I bought my 96 Cherokee I looked it up in CR and for some reason
the 96 was listed as worse then the 95 or the 97, and of course with no
explanation as to why.
300,000 miles later I still haven't figured out what CR didn't like
about the 96 (other than the don't like real cars or trucks).

Re: 2006 OR 2007 RUBICON? (Consumer Reports)
My favorite was of the reliability listings for one particular year (it
might have been 96) the Cherokee had average or above average individual
system ratings, with most being above average, none being below average, but
they still gave it a worse than average overall reliability rating for that
year.
Yeah, CR isn't biased. Ha.

Re: 2006 OR 2007 RUBICON? (Consumer Reports)
I'd still like to know why the 96 had lower ratings then the surrounding
years. It appears that 96 was a bit of a transition year, wasn't that
the first year for air bags? It was also the first year for OBD II and
I don't know what differences that would have made in reliability.
