Does anyone know when the diesel gladiator will be released? Early 2020? Or later in the year

I don’t think I would want to buy it in February though. I think waiting a year for them to shake out the bugs on a new engine would be wise. The pentastar was a mess for the first couple years too. My 2012 JK (first year of the 3.6) had issues with the heads and was in for service a number of times then had to be rebuilt.

For ordering or able to buy off lot in feb
All still speculation at this point..... Jeep has said all along spring 2020 and someone posted a rumor about Feb last week. It is possible as it follows in line with all the timelines (rumors) that I am aware of but I would not hold my breath

My information came from a high volume Jeep sales manager in Idaho. He is one of the few people I met that seemed to know more than I did about all the options and builds of the Gladiator. He stated he has direct contact or is on some type of communication with the plant/FCA in the states and he was told it would be February. I don't recall if it was available or that's when they would start building. He said don't hold my breath but that is what he was told and that seems consistent with other reads, etc. Many people I have spoken with in the past did not have any knowledge on the EcoDiesel release or future availability.

Jeep said early 2018 calendar year for the JL.

Then it became fall 2018.

Then crickets.

Then summer 2019.

Now the 2020 order guide is posted and still no diesel.

Now they're saying early 2020 calendar year? Hilarious.

Y'all will be waiting a while. Might as well pull up a chair.

On the plus side, you can now order the same engine for the RAM 1500 so that makes the prospects better

You can? It's not on the build tool and I don't think it's in the ordering system either. Is it certain trims only? I checked Laramie and Limited and neither had the option.

You are correct as usual......not avail for order (for RAM) yet :)

He is the someone who posted the Feb rumor.

It was on the Longhorn Crew Cab, and was on the build tool a couple weeks ago, but isn't there today when I checked.
