I would like to know if the diesel is available without the air suspension.

"For those who purchased an airbag suspension for your Jeep, unfortunately you will never be able to install a permanent lift system to your Jeep. They can lift and lower by pushing the buttons, but will never be able to install larger tires since the suspension will always return to its original "stock height"

The air suspension is standard on the overland. Its an option only on other models and even then you have to wait months for it.

I tested one last week and loved the motor. It was fine for zipping around town.
As for the QL with the CRD, it is an option on the Limited and Larado, so yes, you can get CRD without QL.

Mate, the diesel grand was veeeeeery nice.

You could barely tell it is a diesel (except at idle). It handles well, has oodles of pull, you can't go wrong.

Just placed my order with Fletch. I ordered a diesel Laredo. I hope I don't regret it!! - you know, with bleeding edge technology....

Aug/Sep delivery time.

Is there any movement from $55k for one of these? Did you get air suspension also?

Just noticed, 400ish threads on trouble shooting/problems could be a bit worrying....

Yikes, seem to be a few build quality issues being brought up on Jeepgarage.

$55k is the price, but I didn't get the air suspension. I got tow bar, roof racks and tinting.

Jeep don't need to move on price - there is demand. Wait till there is less demand and the prices will either drop, or they will throw in more freebies.
