My two bobs worth own 2012 WK2 GC Overland Diesel,2010 WH GC Diesel Merc motor 610 nm with DP Chip since new .now 205000 klms,2014 JGC SRT hemi.6.4
The 2010 WH is a weapon towing .Will easily keep up and have passed V8 LCs
towing same size van for all their b……..t noise.! The WK2 is more refined with
better fuel consumption in all areas. Both great tow vehicles. Now the 6.4 hemi.!
This Gen 3 hemi motor has been around for 10 years,5.7L 6.2L 6.4L . Great motor let down by a lifter/ camshaft problem that still has not been solved.From around 60000 klms on your pocket might be relieved of around $7000.00 min to fix. Going on figures I got from major hemi performance workshops /dealers etc around 100 failures per year ,when a motor fails at such low klms there is something wrong.! All hemis have this problem. So, would I buy a petrol JGC hemi or 3.6 in the future ,hard decision , by the time I have made up my mind it will be electric,towing my Jayco 17.58 Outback ,dunno !!
