Very nice! But can't help but notice... orange, Gobi, and Gator are distinctly absent as color options...

Also of note, the diesel is specified as having a 19 gallon tank and 3.73 gearing.

Important info from the docs as follows: cleaned it up a a little.

When you get the Diesel you get a different 8 speed Auto i think the heavy duty one from the Hemi

 

[TheSolarWizard]

Yes that accurate. I’m waiting for clarification on a couple options then I’m finally punching my diesel ticket

That's correct, it's still a $2k addition (engine is $4k). So in total the diesel option costs an extra $6k total (as opposed to v6 manual), just like the Wrangler. It was specified on the sheet closer to the top as it was available for all trims.

I’ve driven a diesel jl on 37s with stock gearing and it had plenty of power still. As far as tank size, that’s because the DEF tank goes beside the fuel. Judging by the fact that very same JL got 28 mpg from Yuma to Tuscon and back I’d say the range difference is substantially better vs the gasser

These aren't things I mind, just things I've noted that other members may care about. I know people talk in here about gearing up when moving to 37+ so just letting them know where it stands from factory. Also, I've seen questions with people wondering as to the tank size, hence why put it up there as well for others to see quickly.

The only thing that bothers me was the lack of color choices. I think someone said the DEF was like $50 every 3k mi or something? The mileage should in theory make up for the missing 3 gallons, I think Jeep said they were aiming for a 500mi range with the diesels. My JT is already registering around 425+ and climbing. I'm interested in the diesel and may drive 1 when they are common on the lots. I leased my truck for a reason

4K upgrade to diesel w/auto as compared to gas w/auto
At 7% below invoice would be a $3350 upgrade.

Colors aside, I’m excited for the chance to test drive my first diesel in a couple months when they hopefully start hitting dealers.

I’ll be debating between the diesel or gas with the selec-trac for my build in the meantime. Most likely a sport s with Max tow.
I could be convinced into a Mojave if I *Really* liked the drive and had to have the interior but it’s pretty unlikely. That’s a lot of money for mostly cosmetics.

30 miles one way for work 5x a week. And a 100 mile one way every 2-4 months to see my parents.
Ohio weather is my main consideration, so everything from dry to frozen is being thought of. Very little off roading.

Don't forget the Mojave also has beefed up body parts :D

 

[12BNNT]

No diesel in the Mojave

You are correct, that was my mistake. I just went to look at it an sure enough, only model without it I believe. At least as far as I was able to see.

I've noticed recently diesel is priced just below regular gasoline. That makes the diesel a little more appealing, but no telling how long that will last. Last year I thought hard about waiting for a diesel, but when I considered the extra cost, the lower tow rating and the additional cost of diesel, I thought, "Meh...".
