Diesel wrangler talk after 2015 model refresh
|
Makes good sense. They are adding this diesel engine to the 2014 Cherokee and Dodge Ram:
"An optional three liter V6 diesel that delivers 240 horses and 420 Pounds feet of torque. It's mated to a new eight speed automatic..." It will take at least another year to see it in the JK. (imho) |
Can't wait for it
|
I know I will be taking one for a test drive.
|
finally!......
|
After the "refresh", they are going to ruin the wrangler just like they did with the cherokee

I'm kind of upset because I bought my 2013 Rubicon last November. I should have waited

The JK is selling so well it doesn't need tweaking . The much-anticipated Diesel would allow it to meet MPG mandates and keep its current look , I hope. The diesel offered in the Grand Cherokee requires a " urea" tank, and particulate scrubbers. The $ 2400 option of diesel is reasonable if accurate. The mpg and torque figures are just what the Trail Rated buyers want and need. Meanwhile, enjoy what you have, the future carries no guarentees.

2016 Jeep Wrangler To Get Diesel Engine | Edmunds.com well it looks like you may get a choice - Diesel may come earlier than the refresh to close out the old shape and keep sales up......:thumbsup: "The engine will be introduced toward the end of the model's lifecycle to boost sales before they bring in the redesigned model," according to an industry source who asked not to be identified. |
Apparently a Chrysler plant an hour or so north of me is in the process of hiring 1200 new employees. Chrysler said they are going to be making 8-9 speed trannies there. Not sure what to think but thought I'd throw that out there.

Well, time will tell !
And right now, I got more time than $$$ ! lol :yup: |
Just read an article that jeep will be made in china. I don't like that much.
|
I saw that article, and what Jeep is planning is to build in China the vehicle they are going to sell there. According to the article is part of a joint venture they have with some automaker in China. The article does not contain any information about Jeep stoping or moving their operation overseas, like GM did.

That is precisly what their intentions are. Im with you, if Jeep were to stop building the Wrangler in the US, that will be reason enough for me to not get one.
