The reality of the cost of the diesel option is the $3600 invoice price of the engine option. Everybody pays the same for the transmission. I ordered my Rubicon diesel and have driven it 3600 miles so far. Lowest mpg has been 22.9 with towing a utility trailer. The highest has been 26.5 driving...
Drive the Diesel JT before you make your decision. Glad I did. Fantastic power and economy with the upgraded transmission.
I got the Rubicon in Granite, but if you order the Sport with the diesel you will get the HD wide dana 44 axles with the stronger steering knuckles.
Only Options that I got...
Just put the first 1200 miles on a 2021 Rubicon, average of 24.1 split between city and highway and some towing. I keep it under 65 MPH. Eco Diesel is a perfect match for the Gladiatior. Great low RPM torque.
