I have read many posts saying that the diesel is $4k more than an auto gasser...
Spending hours attempting to justify the additional cost for the diesel has me thinking the following:
I will most likely order my JT Sport (Willys?) from one of the sponsor dealers offering 8% under invoice.
This means 8% below invoice ($3,600) for the diesel is $3,312.
The diesel comes with the limited slip rear end standard.
With no Max Tow ($1,120 invoice) the "basic" tow package ($316 invoice) is all you need.
This comes to about a $740 "savings" over the gasser with Max Tow at 8% below invoice.
So, $3,312 minus $740 is actually $2,572.
If my screwed up, self-serving logic is correct, the diesel with tow package will cost me "only" $2,572 more than a Max Tow gasser.
I hope my math is right, 'cause that sounds like a bargain for all that torque and improved mileage/range!
