Seriously want this...looks like getting my wife's jeep first will be to my advantage. And this guy ranting about the engine should be banned to rant on jalopnik

2016 Jeep Wrangler Diesel Rant

 

[geoff george]

dang I might have gotten my JK a year too soon.

 

[scubygear]

the thought of a wrangler with over 400lb/ft torque just makes me smile from ear to ear

It does n't make any sense to stick a new engine in the JK's last year of existence. It needs to be coupled with 8-speed which supposedly requires a major chassis redesign. It likely wn't be available until 2017 with the into of the 2018 JL so you have time to save your pennies.

 

[scubygear]

yap i'm assuming by 2018 too. it's going to be a sick engine if it's real and not just smoke.

Would a diesel increase the towing capacity?

 

[scubygear]

yes but if you have a JK not JKU the towing capacity will still be less just because of the wheel base.

Yes, I already understood that.
