3.0D is $4000 on the Wrangler

[Sgt Beavis]

A member of the JLwrangler forums ordered the 3.0D yesterday and posted his order sheet. It looks like the 3.0D is a $4000 upcharge. $995 cheaper than it is on the Ram 1500. I guess that’s a little better. No guarantee that we’ll get that price on the Gladiator but I’ve got my fingers crossed.

I also noted that the order includes 4gal of GAS. I chuckled.

Technically its 6K... you have to pay 2K to get the automatic transmission. Where the Ram 1500 comes standard with the Auto.

I was sure thinking they had some sort of 'pre-order' deal going on w/ the Wrangler 3.0L but not sure now?
I guess we'll know for sure when we see a VIN

This is true, but it only really matters if you would otherwise get a Manual with the 3.6L. I personally would only go with the Auto to begin with so it's only $4000.

Yes but the ram is also starting with an e torque v6 which is worth about $1200 extra according to the v8 e torque up charge, so it’s the same cost

Some numbers from a person who actually ordered a Wrangler 3.0L:

Just ordered a Wrangler EcoDiesel. I did so for the increased torque to turn larger tires and for the improved fuel efficiency. at 6% below invoice, the difference in cost between the EcoDiesel and the V6 petrol motor was about $2,800. Here is the calculation:

Diesel PLUS transmission invoice price: $5,310 (engine costs $3,560 and transmission costs $1,780)
V6 Petrol PLUS transmission invoice price: $2,300 (engine costs nothing but transmission is $2,300 invoice)

Diesel PLUS transmission at 6% below invoice price: $4,991
V6 Petrol PLUS transmission 6% below invoice price: $2,162

Real world difference in price between Diesel and V6 petrol: $2,829

Thats interesting. Not too bad at those numbers.

For added comparison, a guy in the ‘Procharger’ thread says he is getting 13mpg & his supercharger cost $8,000. (I bet his face hurts from grinning so much tho!)
PS: Buh-by warranty too

Yea, I'm all in if that's the price on the Gladiator.

Those numbers look pretty good to me as well.

The latest TFL video where they towed with two new Ram trucks, one EcoDiesel and one Hemi, was very interesting. Less than 1 MPG difference between the two, and the diesel was MUCH slower getting the trailer up the hill. The EcoDiesel is a losing proposition financially. We all knew that. But....if it's also slower at towing/working, then... what's the point?

No Hemi in JL/JT

Ya let’s see a ‘cost analysis’ for an Ecodiesel JT vs a Hemi JT

 

[WXman]

No Hemi in JL/JT

Nope, but there's a wonderful Pentastar which is even more fuel efficient than the Hemi.

lol wonderful, that’s cute
