So over here they rate gas and diesel the same but the Unlimited is rated much highter than the regular JK.
In Germany, the Wrangler Unlimited 3.8 is rated to tow a 7716 pound trailer? That makes the Jeep Engineer I quoted sound like he's full of crap. Maybe it's more of a liability issue in the US.
