A good response and probably true that I am in my head about this as I change my mind daily on which is the better option as I wait on my original order. I just don't want to regret not going diesel after putting big tires, heavy bumpers, etc. on it. I did drive both and after the test drive...
Wow, you are the first that I have heard from that has owned both and said to go gas. Most that have owned both said they will never go back to gas and said to go diesel.
Fuel mileage is not a concern, I didn't buy a Jeep for MPGs. I'm not towing anything but I am concerned with increasing tire size and weight (bumpers, etc.) on the 3.6 vs the torque of the 3.0. 2.0 is not available on the gladiator.
I ordered a 3.6 JTR on Feb 8th and it is due to be delivered on March 13th, but I can't help myself and and I keep reading forums and watching videos about all these people who have traded in their gasser's for the ecodiesel's for the extra power / torque. I did drive both before ordering and...
I wouldn't say I got scared by the posts on this forum alone. There are similar concerning posts for the 3.6 Pentastar recently with ticking and other issues. I just ended up weighing my pros and cons as I seen them for my use case and for me personally, the pros did not outweigh the cons.

I might have to eat my own words now... last weekend I went and test drove a JT Rubicon 3.0 Ecodiesel and then a JT Overland 3.6 Pentastar and it was night and day difference. The Ecodiesel was very quiet getting up to speed and the Pentastar just screamed every time I pressed on the pedal...
Hello fellow jeepers,
I am ready to place my order for my very 1st brand new Jeep Gladiator. I will be ordering a JTRD. Sorry for the very noob question here, but what do I put in the first email to Gupton? Do I create a build sheet in excel and if so, how do I do this? Is there specific...
Ok, thank you so much for the info. I appreciate it. Both are bummers, but I guess I can look for a Gecko Green on a lot or settle for Sarge Green or Hydro Blue.
