Mopar-related social media exploded when the Hurricane hit the news, but there are some misconceptions out there which can be addressed with the data already issued by Stellantis.
Originally, we believed the engine was meant primarily for Ram pickups; they will still be used there, but will almost certainly be used in the Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, and next-generation large cars, as well.

It also cuts around 150 pounds of weight, which is handy for acceleration and fuel economy.
Jeep® has posted another “trail marker” teaser in the runup to Easter Jeep Safari 2022. This 4xe-based vehicle has plug-in hybrid power which is “Pushing Jeep open-air freedom to the extreme” with custom gear from Jeep Performance Parts and Mopar.

While some would wait for New York to reveal a new engine, Allpar noticed that Jeep has shown it on the Build and Price section of its web site just a little early.

FCA US, a/k/a Ma Mopar, has recently patented a casting which includes both the cylinder head and turbocharger body.
