The new Pentastar V6 gives 40% more hp and 10% more torque, making for a faster ride and also better fuel economy.
The Rubicon can now be ordered with a 3.73 to 1 final drive ratio. This is because the 2012 Rubicon automatic has a considerably lower first gear than the 2011 model. You can still order the 4.11 final drive, but it's probably not necessary unless you plan to run oversize tires (or if you're ordering a manual trans, which has not changed in 2012.).
Looks like the Rubicon is now available in the monochrome paint scheme introduced on the Sahara last year. No sure about the Dozer Yellow...
The Unlimited looks the same
The new Blaze Red looks nice on the Unlimited
