Sport Max Town?? I take it you mean Sport S with max tow. IMO the diesel will only be available in the Overland and Rubicon. Not just a random opinion, based on what FCA has done with other product lines. Although anything is possible at this point.....Not necessarily. Just because it is rated to a certain power level on the dyno, doesn't mean that it changes what the vehicle they are putting it into can do. The cooling issue means that while you have plenty of power on the ready, you still cannot put more than X amount of weight on it or behind it.
My guess is that they will derate the Sport Max town by 500-600 pounds. I think if it goes any lower and they risk aleinating customers.
Supposedly, the RAM can be ordered with the new diesel this summer with deliveries commencing August, so perhaps soon for the Ram cost. Probably not until Oct/Nov before we know how Jeep is going to nail us.So much temptation, wonder how long we have to wait to get the number$ ,already waiting for gator, might have to wait a little longer
...So begins the price war.
Yes, I meant the Sport S Max Tow. I figured the diesel would be available across the lineup. I guess we will see.Sport Max Town?? I take it you mean Sport S with max tow.

Unlikely in my opinion.I’m just wondering if there’s any reason that the Gladiator wouldn’t have this same engine.
I sure hope so. : )
I think it'll still be detuned, but the same engine. Which is good. Hopefully it will be made similar wit ha GDE tune.Unlikely in my opinion.
Same reason the Ram's Pentastar is tuned for 305 HP and the Jeep's is 285.
Oh, yeah, of course it'll be the same engine. They don't make multiple engines. I assumed he meant the HP/torque numbers. The Ram usually has higher power numbers because they have more space to increase intake/exhaust efficiency. At least, that's the case for the 3.6L.I think it'll still be detuned, but the same engine. Which is good. Hopefully it will be made similar wit ha GDE tune.
Even if it has the same numbers as my current wk2 ecodeisel, I don't care. They need to hurry up. THe waiting is killing me. It's hard to see them on FB and popping up locally.Oh, yeah, of course it'll be the same engine. They don't make multiple engines. I assumed he meant the HP/torque numbers.

No Sir, current promise for RAM is on the streets in Aug. And Wrangler in Nov.Yeah they keep saying November for the Ram, so the question I guess is how much longer after that before they open order banks for other models? I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being the 2021 calendar year before we actually see EcoDiesel open for ordering on JT/JL...if ever. Remember, they've been promising this engine for JL since late 2017.
