Same boat here. JT is the goal, ability to haul 6500 is great if the fuel mileage and torque is there. the JL is running a close second... the open bed is very appealing. After driving a diesel for 25+ years it is hard to live with gas performance in the same size power plant.

Initially I have been very interested in the 3.0 diesel having lived with Diesels for many years I have become accustomed to the huge torque and fuel efficiencies. Of late the EPA has castrated the diesel market by demanding EGR equipment to be installed. This while works very well on...
Like the interior. With anything new someone is going to complain about the new rope. Love to see a Topo map feature/mode in that big center mounted display, that would be useful off road. I am hoping that the interior is at least water resistant. I think it is a good compromise between the...

I love these Miles per gallon discussions. So many factors combine to produce a number. My Mercedes GLK 2L diesel, I was able to surpass the MPG rating by as much as 5mpg highway and 3 in the city.... yet the GF could never get the rated numbers ever..... same vehicle two different drivers...

Seriously looking at the 3.0 Diesel but not sold on the idea. Lived with diesels for many years lots of low end grunt and better fuel mileage. Down side is cost. with initial costs at $30K for a JLU add another 10 for a Rubicon.... Not sure if yet another 10K is worth the cost. Perhaps a 3.6...
