One of our writers found the information buried deep in the bowels of the press kit provided by Jeep, under a section titled “Dimensions and Capacities.” Obviously, that’s an important section when the car it’s talking about is a foot longer than the base versions. Regardless, a row in that category had this to say:
“Ground Clearance (with 275/55R20 tire and 5.7-liter engine): 8.3 (210)- standard suspension, 10.0 (253)- air suspension (Pos#2).” The numbers following the mention of the engine are, by the way, in reference to the ride height of the car in inches and centimeters.
Strangely, this is the only mention of a 5.7-liter engine anywhere in Jeep’s press materials. It’s not much to go on, but this is an official release from Jeep. Confirmation? Maybe not. But enough to give us some ideas? Certainly.
