I have a 2005 Jeep Rubicon LJ Auto that I bought last August. I really wanted that body style/size and I had to get an auto so that anyone (wife, sisters) could drive it when we went camping. I really like it, but it seems really gutless and inefficient at highway speeds. I just hoping to find out from you all if that is just the nature of the beast, or maybe there is something wrong with the motor. I have 285/75/16 tires (33") on stock wheels with a 4" long arm kit. It is a bit heavier than I was hoping at 4500lbs (have a scale at work) which I attribute to the winch and Hanson bumpers front and rear. The Jeep does fine off the line, but it has a hard time holding overdrive unless the road is perfectly flat. It gets around 10-11 mpgs in mixed driving. I live on the coast in California, so we are talking about 0-500 feet elevation. Do you think what I am experiencing is normal?
Thanks in advance
