I spent a lot of time researching and debating between V6 3.6 and eco diesel.
JT is going to be my daily driver. I like outdoor activities but I don't do hardcore offroading.
It's so hard to make a decision so I started listing down pros and cons of each.
Overall I think V6 3.6 is more suitable for me but before making $40k+ purchase, I want to hear out others' opinions.
Diesel - Pros:
1) 442 lb-ft torque (I plan to run 37s on stock gears)
2) holds resale value better?
Diesel - Cons:
1) Selec-trac not available (Michigan winter makes me want this option)
2) EGR/DPF concern
3) +$4k option, no stock in dealer inventory so I need to place an order, I won't be able to negotiate price.
Gasoline - Pros:
1) Selec-trac avaliable (Sport S)
2) Can have more options (cold weather package, premium audio) instead of $4k diesel engine
Gasoline - Cons:
1) Low torque (I will add max tow package w/ 4.10 gears to run 37s but diesel will still handle 37s much better)
As you can see I did some homework lol
What do you guys think? What would you do if you were me?
