Both engines sounds amazing and real cruisers with that power when you need it and I think the Diesel wrangler is possibly the coolest car around when it comes to an off roader.

The clatter really is muted on any of these new commonrails, too. Yes, it's still audible, but overall very, very muted from what diesels used to be. And many of these newer diesels when you're cruising down the highway, the RPMs are so low that you don't even hear the engine at highway speeds. Just wind noise.

Really really like this engine in the Wrangler. It'll be years before I can even think of buying one, but being a diesel guy for 15 years now, I can't help but like the torque delivery and just how much of it is available right in the rev range where you use the engine every day. Less downshifting required to pass on the highway, just squeeze just enough throttle to not trigger a downshift and you have ample gain of speed with no waiting and little noise. This also applies to going up steep grades, the RPMs can stay much, much lower than a gas engine that has way less torque, but similar horsepower. Driving in the mountains with diesels is a joy. Just a much less frantic experience. It feels effortless. The ultimate off road finally got the engine it deserves.

BTW, on the original sticker from a 1985 Toyota SR5 Xtracab truck that I bought new, I paid $399.00 extra for the "special (electric blue) metallic paint" option. My brother that currently lives in Boulder, Colorado, has a 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser with that same color extra cost paint, so Jeep is quite reasonable on their "upcharge" for, at least the paint option. Thanks again for all of the in-depth, practical, and useful information! Congrats to you , also for attracting more sponsors for TFL, offering innovating after market products.

Biggest problem for me with the $$$ of these Wranglers is that the Power Wagon exists. I know the PW is larger but not all off-road areas require the same tool. My problem is that you can buy a massive Ram 2500 with stout axles, disconnecting sway bar, front/rear lockers, just like Rubicon but you also get more. For around the same price you get 360 degree cameras, a winch, a massive V8, a 12 inch screen to watch what's in front of you, leather interior, payload (albiet low for a heavy duty but massive compared to a Wrangler), and towing. Oh, and I can use it for home projects. Really though my point is just concerns price. Obviously a Ram 2500 with all that stuff costs more to produce than a Wrangler, and yet the Wrangler sells for nearly the same price.

My favourite aspect of diesel engines is the engine braking you get due to the high compression, and the nature of the diesel stroke/cycle. Modern petrol engines can develop the power, and (for off-road purposes) can develop more than enough torque, but are still lacking on the downhill control you get from the high compression ratios of a diesel.

Thank you for a well made video. However, you're incorrect with some of the points you mention regarding the Diesel vs the V6 petrol. There seems to be a huge amount of misunderstanding and misinformation online by youtubers and journalists. When larger wheels than stock are fitted to the vehicle the 'moment' at the axle (a turning effect produced by a force acting at a distance on an object. the magnitude of a turning effect produced by a force acting at a distance, expressed as the product of the force and the distance from its line of action to a given point.) changes. Re-gearing the Diff ratios (ie the final drive ratio) will fix this. The final drive ratio (the diff ratio) is calculated by the engineers to ensure that the engine rpm and the wheel rpm (road speed) are optimal for acceleration and fuel economy. Larger diameter wheels than stock with no change to the final drive ratio (re-gearing of the diffs) will REDUCE the acceleration (torque at the wheels). Smaller diameter wheels than stock with no change to the final drive ratio (re-gearing of the diffs) will INCREASE the acceleration (torque at the wheels). Putting larger diameter wheels (eg 37s) on a diesel or a V6 will reduce the torque at the wheels in both vehicles. However, because Diesel engines have greater torque than Petrol engines this will be less noticeable, but will still happen there is no way around the physics. The solution = Bigger wheels = Change Diff ratios Change the diff ratio (crown and pinion gears) to get the engine rpm and road speed back to the stock numbers (There are plenty of online diff ratio calculators to works this out), whenever larger diameter wheels are fitted to any vehicle. A diff ratio re-gear will address this and a V6 will have great performance on 37s.

If they could get that configuration even close to high 30's or 40k, it would be much more realistic. The problem is all the extra, commuter things they've added to Jeeps over the years to appeal to a wider market. I couldn't imagine getting a $60,000 SUV and then offroading it... especially when it's going to take another $3-5k in aftermarket parts to get it truly offroad worthy.

Couple things to note. The diesel is only a $3000 dollar upgrade over an automatic V6. Not only do you get a diesel for that money but you also get Dana 44 wide track axles front and rear no matter the trim, plus an actual ZF8HP75 transmission rated at 650lb/ft of torque vs the 850RE 8 speed only rated for 350lb/ft. That's not all; every diesel has the 3.73 rear end no matter the trim and with the torque you don't have to regear with 35's or even 37's not to mention at least 20% better fuel mileage. In summary that extra 3 grand gives you a ton for the money especially if you don't want to foot the bill for a Rubicon trim.

@@brianblack546 "Reliable technology hasn’t been developed to comply with emissions laws yet." Quoted for truth. Although the emissions systems are a lot more reliable when you run the vehicle as it was intended for. We just got rid of our 2016 Silverado 3500 at a little over 350,000 miles because of a blown head gasket and the transmission was getting weak, it had some components replaced over its life related to the emissions system including one DPF (outlasted the CP4) but nowhere near the issues you hear about constantly online. If you buy a diesel truck for a daily driver you're going to have a lot more trouble with it than if you're putting your truck to work. We've got a '19 Silverado 3500 now that's about to roll over 40k miles and knock on wood, maybe the emissions system will be more dependable.

Today's automatics are a far cry from what was offered back then. In this application, automatics allow the driver to concentrate more on driving over rocks and bad terrain compared to stick shift. Plus it gives the driver more control over the terrain when climbing and descending over rock without concentrating on that third pedal.

@@MrPland1992, the European diesels aren't near as heavy. The 3/4 and 1 ton truck diesels tend to be all cast iron, fairly big displacement and weigh a massive amount. The diesel in the Wrangler, while it still weighs more than the gas V6 and turbo 4 cylinder, it isn't as massive a weight difference as, say, a 5.4L Ford to a 6.7L Powerstroke. The Euro diesels tend to be more compact, rev higher and at least use aluminum heads, not cast iron. They still will weigh more than comparably sized gas engines, the pistons and rods in particular are much heavier than the gas vehicles, but the difference isn't as massive as it is in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks.

I have the Rubicon version of this and I get 33 MPG on the highway and even had better figures when taking it really easy. This engine also produces 450nm of torque (331 fp). It's an awesome machine when doing serious off roading and purrs like a kitten on the highway. I'd love the 3 litre but it's not coming to Australia for a few years yet.
