Interesting that the guys at TFL Truck did this same test and showed the Diesel being faster (granted it was a Wrangler and not a Gladiator and it was at altitude)...

Yes, and they test at high altitude where a small % of people live. I have never understood why an automotive journalism presence like they are won't take the time to do vehicle testing at normal elevations.

Because that’s where they’re located?


On 35” or taller tires not only will the diesel outrun the gasser to 60 at sea level, it will flat out embarrass it from 30-70 and once you’re at 37s will return 40% better fuel mileage
