I believe unless they up the tow rating to 5k or above I don’t think this will be an offering. I would guess if you prefer to purchase and add your self you can do so but I wouldn’t expect it being offered from factory.
The diesel having a standard 3.73 diff ratio on the Rubicon is rather interesting. The video did not say if the Rubicon still has the 285/70R17 tire size with the 3.73. I suppose we will find out the options (if any) when they update the Order Guide with the diesel information. Hopefully that will be in the October update. It is too bad the fuel tank is smaller with the diesel. That defeats one of its big advantages: range.
They still claim to have the longest range by far.. guess we will see what we can really expect once They release the numbers. I’m hoping we can get atleast 5-550 miles per tank
You don’t need as much muffler when you’re running a DPF. The filter serves some of the same purpose (unfortunately).
Yea that's what I figured and was afraid of. The 6MT with the 3.0D would be a great combo.
Hell im not going to hold my breath. 5k towing would be awesome thought.

Always the old 4bt
They already can. Use trailer brakes and keep the speed to 62mph. That satisfies the German and Australian laws which bring their JLU tow rating to 5000 lbs using all of the same parts as ours. Our ratings are based on the JLU’s ability to brake and stabilize a 3500lb load up to 85mph, which is lunacy and ultimately misleading.
I didn't read the entire thread, but if I get your point, you are concerned that the gearing should be lower (i.e. 4.10 v 3.73). A diesel usually doesn't need the gearing a gasser does, and you would be hurting your performance if you go too low with the gearing.
