Bunch of dealers are taking orders, going to place mine this weekend hopefully. Production starts November 25th. $6000 option (4k for engine over 3.6, 2k for the mandatory auto transmission.) :thumb:
$$$$$$$ Congrats. I know a few people here have been waiting for that.
Have they released MPG #s yet? More curious than anything

The MPG came out for the Ram 1500 at 25 mpg city and 35 highway. Should be relatively comparable.

Nice, that's pretty good. Curious to see what they publish. I love diesels, probably wont "upgrade" to one and keep my wrangler, but maybe a diesel gladiator down the road when I "need" a new work truck.Not just yet, but if my GC with 98000 miles is some indication, I'd say it will be high 20s for city, low to mid 30s highway, and 29-30 combined. On pure highway hauls on mostly flat ground (not something like vail pass along the i70 in colorado) I easily get mid 40s in my diesel GC.
So no one is worried about the engine being an italian designed diesel ? This aint yo daddies cummins.
I personally don't know ANYONE who would buy this diesel to save money. Im buying it for power and range, and the ability to shrug off additional weight, something the gassers have a hard time doing. 500ft/lbs would be easily attainable with some breathing mods and some software, and IMHO, it would make the wrangler perfect. My personal opinion, the wrangler coupled with a v6 NA gasser was always a poor choice of motor.
