So here is my question, do any of the 4-door Jeep Wrangler types come with the 300hp V6 and the 8-speed trans?

Every Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited gets the 3.6L Pentastar, and either the 5 speed auto or 6 speed manual. There were only minor changes to the 2015's, mostly different color options and a revised stereo. '18 Ford Raptor, random motorcycles, 1968 Plymouth Fury III - 11.37 @ 118

I had heard a rumor they might have been slated for the new 8-speed auto, but could not find out any info thru the dealer. Either that or 1/2 ton ecodiesel '70 Cuda,...605 EFI Hemi Street Car (6.20 best pass, 1.33 60ft) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYw6RA-k5Bk (6.25 at 108.75mph from inside car) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zQEb9uxFng (6.25 at 108mph from outside car) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCvfzsC4NgM (9.9) '66 Barracuda AWB Stretched nose Blown 440 Car in build stage '71 Duster Drag Car 400 Low Deck 512 best 6.002 at 115.44mph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znuo3jMUXTk

It is a great powertrain in the Ram! '18 Ford Raptor, random motorcycles, 1968 Plymouth Fury III - 11.37 @ 118
