The EcoDiesel Is Going Away—But It’s Going Out In Style
Jeep’s push toward electrification is the primary reason for phasing out the 3.0L diesel V-6 program.
In case you’d forgotten, Jeep’s push toward electrification is the primary reason for phasing out the EcoDiesel. Be that as it may…
As the last call for the EcoDiesel V-6 approaches, Jeep is offering an exclusive, limited-edition Gladiator with the 3.0L common-rail under the hood. The Rubicon FarOut edition Gladiator will come with front and rear third-generation Dana 44 axles, a 3.73 axle ratio and the Rock-Trac two-speed transfer case, which boasts a 4.0:1 low-range. A “Diesel 3.0L” hood graphic will call attention to the 442 lb-ft diesel power plant, while a “3.0 D” tailgate badge and “FarOut” badge will reside out back. Additional exclusive features include 33-inch mud terrains, 17-inch low-gloss black polished aluminum wheels, body-color fender flares, a satin black grille, steel front bumper, Mopar spray-in bedliner and black leather seats with red accents.
Jeep will be accepting orders for the Rubicon FarOut edition Gladiator through the end of September, with the first deliveries beginning in the third quarter of 2023. MSRP is $69,995 (excluding the $1,795 destination charge).
