Found a 2021 eco diesel in sting grey. 26K miles Has literally every option available. portable radio, leather, LED, heated seats and steering wheel, front facing cam, bedliner, tonneau cover Jeep safety group adaptive cruise and its a Rubicon to boot. SLush mats, trail rail system with 400 watt inverter plug. Under rear seat storage Alpine stereo, Navigation.. Hard top steel front bumper etc.. I have never seen one that had ALL the option groups.. its also my favorite color next to Gobi. Is it unusual to see one this loaded? MSRP in 2021 was 65K

It is all relative. 21 and 22 were COVID year builds that dealers where loading out when ordering because they were getting full MSRP+. With few exceptions, most Jeepers on the forums do not get wrapped up in the "I got a one of one" like the Corvette guys do.

If you are thinking about buying it, just do your research and realize it is a buyers market for used with prices even going down more in the coming months if the talk or 30%-35% MSRP reductions pan out.

My JTOD is loaded with more or less everything (I think auto start is the only option missing) and I like that very much.

Don't know if I would pay a premium for the portable speaker but for leather, winter package, ACC, etc. I definetly would.

I would steer clear of Jeeps diesel- too many issues have been reported to make me feel confident of that power plant. Im sure I’ll get flamed for this, but there’s a reason it was discontinued after a short run. I’m a huge fan of diesel engines but not this one

I bought High Altitude new off the lot in 21 with every option, except the speaker, with the same retail tag as yours. I have no need for locking axles, I don’t go that had and I prefer the high end blacked out look to all of the red doodads anyway. While I had every damn issue associated with the diesel, I’m glad I roughed it out. The 3.6 is a dog with poor mileage and limited power upgrades

To each there own I'm sure you've never owned one? Look up the complaints and issue's diesel vs the 3.6 you'll be surprised. We have 4. 3 Jt's and 1 Jl all diesels with a total of over 250k trouble free miles and yes we off road them and drive them every where my 22 JTRD remote started outside today in-14 in Cheyenne no issues. I think guy's that have never had one see a couple stories and get freaked out I'm here to tell you they are awesome engines and for us way more reliable then the 3.6 or 3.8 we've had in the past.

If your looking for one buy the diesel you won't regret it best drivetrain combination Jeep has ever used in my opinion and I've personally owned over 30 Jeeps and literally sold hundreds

You won't get flamed by me, but you will get educated.

The reason the EcoDiesel was discontinued was because of the HPFP recall. For one, they had to stop selling the EcoDiesel until the new part came into production. Production of the new part was a slow and painful process. There simply wasn't enough HPFPs to supply both the recall and new production. As a matter of fact, I've been on the list for over two years and I'm still waiting on the part to come in.

Can't they get you one from another state? It was painful but we gat all 4 of ours fairly fast compared to others and have 2 more done on trade ins. Good luck getting your done We absolutely love our diesels

I bought a 2023 Diesel Gladiator because my 2015 Diesel Grand Cherokee has provided such good service. Now I have two Diesel Jeeps1
I'm in a similar situation. We bought a 2015 Ram EcoDiesel. We loved it so much that we ordered a 2020 Ram EcoDiesel as a backup truck. We wanted a midsized truck to add to the fleet, so we bought the 2023 Jeep EcoDiesel. We now have three EcoDiesels and looking to buy a fourth. I'm now looking to buy a 2014 - 2019 regular cab Ram EcoDiesel long bed for my side business.

I live in diesel country. Our dealer sold a ton of EcoDiesels, but they only get two HPFPs each month. I was on the list for a little over a year when I got the recall for the 2020 EcoDiesel. I'm still on the waiting list for the 2015 EcoDiesel. By the time our 2023 Jeep Gladiator was built (December of 2023), it actually came factory with the new HPFP.

I have a dealership in Cheyenne, Wy and Ft Collins, Co our local Jeep stores have been getting them in fairly fast when we get one that needs one

I See your from New Mexico. To get our Deisel Grand Cherokee we had to fly down to Santa Fe, NM to get the one we wanted. It was a pleasant drive home to Utah.
