I read very recently that Ram is the only 1/2 ton pick-up available with a manual. It was in a news article about manuals, not just a random post. Now you've just read it in a random post. ;-) But I agree it would break my heart to give up a manual just for a diesel.

If it comes in manual, I'll give it a chance. And that's completely true. A family friend of mine has owned fords his entire life and recently bought a ram 1500 because it comes with a manual trans. I still drive autos from time to time but my left foot feels weird and having nowhere to put my right hand drives me crazy haha

There is already plenty of Diesel JK's on planet earth.. Just not here because we as a people and culture are too close minded to allow them into the states...
Auto Trans or not count me in for 420ftlb and 28mpg if they don't completely butcher the rest of the jeep..

A diesel would be a tough sale right now with gas having dropped to $2.53 in our area and diesel still almost a $1 more a gallon here. Any kind of markup fee would be a killer for me.

Sounds like it could be an "Option" and that it may run an additional $5k, and then the dealers probably won't do any discounts on them so expect to pay near full price.

Gas is sounding pretty good with a price tag anywhere near that. I'm already trying to figure out how to get my hands on a rubicon the next time around. But a diesel would be pretty nice.

JK diesels everywhere except Canada / USA / Mexico.
Cali - could you please ride bicycles so the rest of us can drive a diesel.....mountains and pollution dissipation is the problem there. Surprise Surprise Sergeant Carter (google that kids)...Europe is mountainous and diesel is king.
Gas pumps in the rest of the world are as rare as diesel here.
Cali people jumped on a bandwagon that ended up screwing the entire western hemisphere with anti diesel propaganda.
Starter course in air pollution-what is worse: -cut down trees in clear cut operations (trees clean air)
-Use fireworks As much as possible (oo ee sulfur dioxide)
-Burn your leaves on the lawn (no acid rain here yhuck)
-use diesel like the rest of the world.
