Farout Jeep Wrangler announced as Rubicon Diesel final edition -- sad day today for the diesel crowd [UPDATED: with official press release]

[Redrockjk]

The only thing I'm seeing is a piece of marketing collateral loosely worded to mean a particular package combination will no longer be available.

Not the case with this one

With who? The only official announcement is that the ED will no longer be available in the RAM 1500 as they move that vehicle to a total EV platform in the US.

The only information I've seen about the ED no longer being available in US Wrangler production is a regurgitated blurb from a dealership in a sales ad.

RAM 1500 won't be total EV for decades. Dropping the ED in the RAM pretty much guarantees it'll be dropped in the Wrangler too.

Challenge is, only non-Ecodiesel owners feel that way. Glad I have my (issue-free) diesel. Puts a smile on my face every time I dip into that endless torque.

Not really. I have owned multiple modern (post-2007) diesels. The torque of my 2015 PSD was unmatched and would push you deep into the seat. With that said, all of the items I posted are true to some degree for all of the truck/SUV diesels.

With the push to electric, we are at the beginning stages of the phase out of ICE and it is being reflected in nearly every vehicle manufacturer's lines.

Stellantis is aiming for 50% EV sales in the US and 100% in Europe by 2030. They are currently on track to introduce the all-electric RAM 1500 for 2024 after dropping the ED.

Maybe they will finally put a small Cummins into Ram 1500s and JLs? Cummins rePower with emissions equipment added would be great.

Somehow I doubt this is the case though.

I am blessed that I could order my diesel last year (before the January price increase). I almost didn't go with the diesel engine due to all the naysayers on here, but I am glad I didn't listen to them.

I recently rolled over 20,000 miles on the road and a substantial amount off-road. I could not be happier.

One of the first things I did after getting mine was slap that 3.0D badge off the Cherokee on there. I wonder if that's the particular one they refer to hahaha

That still isn't "Total EV" for the RAM. Pickups will be one of the last vehicles to go full EV, if they ever do.

I thought Farout was just their concept builds. Like the Gladiator.

I am glad your diesel is working out, but it is the Ecodiesel owners that documented those issues...

And the Wrangler will? If not, what non-EV Wrangler models would make the cut based on fuel economy? The ED with 22/29, the 3.6 with 21/26 or the 2.0 with 21/24?

Can confirm, I identify as the Jeep in the ad

Someone took down my last post, so I assume someone does not understand sarcasm. Therefore I will repost it below with a sarcasm disclaimer.

Disclaimer: The following statement is sarcasm and should not be construed as a lie but as a joke.

My "source" at Stellantis recently contacted me and said they plan to make a hybrid-diesel Rubicon model with 38s and a 3.5" lift.

Disclaimer: The above statement is a sarcastic attempt at a joke. Please do not remove it.

The diesel! Because it has the best fuel economy

Exactly. Speculation that the ED will be discontinued in the Wrangler due to fuel economy is ridiculous. And if that's not the argument, what is? Emissions? Nope. Profit margin? Nope.

The fact is, the other IC options are more in danger of being discontinued.
