Ours is a 2011 and has the 3.6, theirs is a 2014. I agree the 3.6 pentstar is the best v6 dodge ever made, I think better than anybody's standard naturally aspirated v6. Now it's in everything from Jeep's new Gladiator to midsize Chrysler 200s, to full size pickups, and Challengers. One of the most interesting things to me is how at the last refresh, they decided to stay away from direct injection. I like the idea of direct injection but I'm not sure long term it doesn't add problems, and future emission rules may require adding exhaust particulate filters on direct injected gas motors. I always take simple, inexpensive, and long lasting, over minor gains in power or economy.
