Would you buy a diesel gladiator again?

[LOGS]

Absolutely. Without the diesel, I'd never would have bought the JT. I don't know how someone can settle for the 3.6.

Hell yes I would buy it again. I sold a LJ for $25,000 so the cost was offset a little. I wash it weekly and drive it 28 miles to the beach 2-3 days a week. I occasionally sleep in the camper and it runs great with 37’s. It makes retirement happy!

Absolutely

If there was a manual option, I would have gotten the diesel.....

I’m too lazy to drive a manual.

 

[Sweetums]

Yep, no question about it. I love the diesel and can't wait to get to modding next year.

 

[RudeJeepin]

Most definitely.
I started out with a 2021 JLURD, love pretty everything about it. So when the wife suggested that she wanted it more than her current ride, I jumped at it.
Took her rig and traded it for a 2022 JTRD. No looking back, absolutely love it.

Nice looking setup, nice picture, makes me jealous.

I could imagine that the wear on the clutch would be quite high.
Maybe that's the reason they didn't offer a stick shift.

Semi trucks are all manual, just build a decent clutch and you're fine. They didn't do it because they knew the amount of diesel versions they were going to sell would be small, and the manual versions of those would be even smaller. Everyone complains about no manuals, but nobody buys....
Save the manuals!!

Every manufacturer is getting away from manuals with their diesels. With the auto trannies. They can control the amount of torque better going through the tranny with torque management programming.

Absolutely! I’ve found the maintenance to be very simple, I get great MPG, it tows my 20’ trailer and RZR quite well and it’s a great commuter/daily driver.

In a heartbeat

Same here. I was really bummed when they announced no manual for the diesel. Complicated and expensive emissions systems turned me off after that. I’m pretty happy with the 3.6 manual though, but diesel paired with the manual would have been icing on the cake.

No, diesel per gallon price is $1.20 now more than regular.
I was towing a shall travel trailer. The concern about the HPFP failing while I was miles from my residence and the fact Jeep had no replacement part led me to get rid of mine.
I liked it very much, but I could not depend on it.
it appears the tree huggers will kill diesels and taxing diesel at the pump will do it.
it is stupid, Pathetic, and unnecessary to get rid of a cost effective power source.
I had my FJB Edition labels proudly displayed on my Gladiator!.

Absolutely! If I had the funds I'd buy a second one and put it in storage.

this guy...........always this guy hahaha
