Bobby CommentMar 01, 2013 I had a 2007 Grand Cherokee with the turbo diesel. Great vehicle. I don't know why they don't put that engine in more of their lineup. The towing power is great especially considering the mpg. E.g. Put some design attention into the Dakota and put that 3.0 turbo diesel in it and you'd have a hell of a truck.
Brock Andrew KerrDec 08, 2012 I work for a Jeep dealer and we've been under a strong assumption that this will be with the 8 speed automatic. as well as the 3.6l having the 8 speed offering also. and you forgot about the previous GC that had a 3.0L diesel
A.J. BradyDec 08, 2012 What about an 8 speed trans? I know that cars with more torque then this diecel have an 8 speed and Chrysler uses an 8 speed on the 300.
Jason BrownDec 08, 2012 Already in Sale here in S. Korea. Starting to get more popular, but too expensive, Laredo starts at 64k and overland starts close to 80k. Many other competitors for that kind of price.
Finally Americans are seeing the value of diesel? I can't wait for more diesel cars in the states.
Finally!
