FCA did right with this setup as the 8 speed can handle almost 600ftlbs of torque. I cannot justify the added expense of the CTD. I pull a boat,firewood,ATVs etc, and maybe a TT from time to time. I am averaging (only 200 miles on it) appx 15mpg, with mixed driving. On the highway this truck sings along at 70 moh and appx 1800rpm. 4th, while low, seems to be a good mid-range gearing. First thing I noticed is that the 1st 3 gears pulled substantially harder than the 6 speed.

Joe made himself available the whole time we were there to help make our experience smooth from one step to the next. We were not familiar at all with Jeeps and so he really had his work cut out for him! His follow thru made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. He was so accommodating that it didn't seem like a chore to buy the car. Tyler was thorough, when determining what features were important to us. If I am wrong about any of the names let me know and I will update this review. We love it!!!! Tyler, Joe, and Ally were so amazingly patient with us. We recently purchased a Jeep Compass Latitude.
