I have heard the 3.0 td engine will be available, and that it will be available in the rubicon version aswel. Doing a bit of online reading, although all conjecture at this point, the new jl will be far more reliant on electrics and gadgets more then it does now, which kind of concerns me in regards to track side repairs and what not. I can see points in waiting for the new one to take a look at it, but i can also see sticking with a jk that has most of the bugs ironed out with many fixes and accesories available. As invariably the original 3.0td release will most likley have "all the issues" to begin with.

Appreciate the replies fellas and ladies, and its good to see no one has said to stay away from the 2.8 diesel, as alot of joe smoe in the public i tell of my plan to buy one say to do. Pretty excited to get going into the world of patrol eating jeeping aha.

Cheers
Brad.

I have a 3.0 grand Cherokee and if the motor and 8 speed box is fitted to a wrangler then I will be trading my wrangler for a new JL

570nm at 2000rpm would be awesome in a wrangler

I've had my CRD for about a year can't fault it

In relation to the JL the Jeep dealer told me that it would only be petrol models that will hit Australia, but who knows how accurate that is

I own a 3.6 Wrangler and a 3.0 Grand Cherokee / 8 Speed.

The 3.6 is getting traded/sold once the 3.0 / 8 speed is available in a Wrangler.

They are worlds apart.

I keep hearing it's a few years away at best though, still in development even though it's a planned option.

Diesel rubicon years away?? I cant understand why crysler australia wont release a diesel version of this model. A diesel rubicon would be on par with the major players here in australia with much better off the shelf performance. They would sell like hotcakes.

Probably limited engineering / staff to do everything at once, get the basic new one rolling out the door then start work on the other options.
