I cant remember exactly where I read it but the new 3.0 diesel should be an option in the JK around 2015 right before the next model comes out. The idea is to spur final model year sales...

The poor engineering of Jeep is amazing; a 13' JKU is epa rated 16 city/ 20 highway, and a 14' Chevy Siverado that weighs maybe 1200 lbs more(?) is rated 18 city/ 24 highway.

If and when jeep does make the wrangler more aerodynamic, the reaction is probably going to be much like the reaction to the new cherokee.

I also did read that a diesel option will be available in the 2016 model year at a premium cost as it is already available in the grand cherokee for 4500.

The Jeeps normally have 3:73, or even 4:10 gearing except for a sport with 3:21. My guess is that the Silverado you are talking about will have something in the line of 3:09. BIG Difference. And don't forget about off road tires versus super low resistant road tires.
