Saw this on the JL forums:

I'm extremely surprised they would carry the diesel on in the JT with it going away in the JL. The only thing I can imagine is that they wanted to have at least one additional engine option for the JT and the take rate maybe better with diesel being a more natural fit with the truck crowd vs. suv crowd.
So I guess we aren't quite as much of unicorns, but as others have posted this will help ensure parts and support are available for a much longer period of time.
Here's the quote from the news release:

Here's the quote from the news release:
The Jeep Gladiator will continue to offer the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 in addition to the standard 3.6-liter V-6.
