    Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel Pricing Leaks

      ...be prepared to shell out some big bucks for the upgrade....

    As we reported last month, Jeep is adding a diesel to the Wrangler lineup.  The 3.0-liter diesel will produce 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque and be paired only with the 8-speed automatic. Electronic Start-Stop is also standard issue. 

    As for how much it is going to cost, be prepared to shell out up to an additional $6,000 over the base model.  It breaks down like this:  $4,000 for the diesel engine + $2,000 for the automatic transmission.  All in all, it ends up being a $3,250 upgrade over a Wrangler with a Pentastar V6 and 8-speed automatic.   The diesel will only be offered in 4-door trims of Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon.  In the RAM 1500 with the same powertrain, highway fuel economy is rated for 30mpg. Expect the lighter but less aerodynamic Wrangler to match that once EPA numbers are finalized.

    Diesel Wranglers start down the production line in late November, but the order books are already open if you want to head down to the dealer and put your order in.

    • I am saddened. Loved him as an actor.    There was also a crime thriller movie with Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery that he did.  Rising Sun.       
    • For sure. 100%  I have a personal anecdotal story involving insurances. Although my aunt's and uncle's insurance story from Boston didnt affect me personally, its a story that makes me very indifferent regardless what kind of monster Luigi Mangione could really be. If the story is that the CEO that got murdered was truly a sweet man, then I will have empathy for him. If not...indifference it will be for me.     I have lost a lot of my humanity these last few years I must admit. And you would be correct, indifference is almost always NOT the correct emotion to wield no matter what the circumstances.    Most probably was.  I am curious to know Luigi's motives.  Although I am not too fond of Luigi either. I dont like murderers. But...innocent until proven guilty. And Luigi's Miranda Rights allegedly were not given to him. And...a search warrant was not present when the officers went through his backpack.  I will hate it if Luigi does not stand trial because of incompetency. Justice needs to be served. For the deceased as well for the charged as well for society.  Any murder is creepy, I will agree.  We discussed my indifference so I wont get into that again.  This would be a second time I would be indifferent to horrific public murders in a year's time.  My indifference to both murders does not negate that I also sense and feel the creepiness of it all. Good guy or bad guy, indifference to his murder or not, and we will add Charlie Kirk to this...NOBODY should be murdered.   I agree with your assessments:  indifference is not the right answer and vigilantism is a very dangerous road to follow.  human beings are strange creatures.  Psychology has proven that human beings are more lenient and more favorable towards pleasant physical human attributes than to humans that are less lucky to be blessed with beautiful genetics.   Reality is though... that ALL human beings are capable of murder.   THAT is the scary part.  
    • Thanks for this link.  Very well written, detailed, chronological enough, and interesting.  This is about how I understand it. The psychological twists and turns are going to be important.  There will be a lot for psychological experts to chew on that we're not (yet) privy to.
