I can't picture a world where I would want a 4 over a 6. So I say go with the 6

I can. My 2012 4wd base 2 door has the 2.7 that does everything I need it to do. It’s not a speed demon, but 80 on the interstate is no problem. Doesn’t get there fast, though. Never had a problem merging or passing either. Pulls a trailer with a heavy zero turn once a week with no problem. Off road the 2.7 shines (also no worries of overpowering the drivetrain, lol).

And if you drive normal…close to 24mpg on the highway. Around town…nowhere near 24.

Edited to take out my statement on the 6cyl needing timing belt maintenance… I was wrong about it (has timing chain).
