Torque wins races, horsepower sells cars. The 4.0 has more torque lower in the RPM range than the caravan Wrangler engine.

the wrangler does have more hp. But for wheeling tq is what you want. The wrangler has decent tq but its in the high end of the rpm range. For wheeling you want low end tq and hp. A v6 can NEVER match the I6 in low end hp and tq
