Here is some detail from the October Order Guide about the diesel in the Rubicon (I deleted the info for the other models for readability):
3.0L V6 TURBO DIESEL ENGINE W/ESS G3 (EXJ) FWP 3,560 MSRP 4,000
8-SPD AUTO 8HP75 TRANS (BUY-GERMANY) (DFV) FWP 1,780 MSRP 2,000 26R
DFV 8-SPD AUTO 8HP75 TRANS (BUY-GERMANY)
• HILL DESCENT CONTROL (BNH)
• TIP START (XBN)
EXJ 3.0L V6 TURBO DIESEL ENGINE W/ESS G3
• 18.3 GALLON FUEL TANK (NGA)
• 3.73 REAR AXLE RATIO (DME)
• AUX BATTERY (BC1)
• GVW RATING - 6100# (Z1M)
• NON-LOCK FUEL CAP W/ DISCRIMINATOR (XJ4)
• SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (UREA) (XAL)
• STOP-START DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM (XHZ)
The 8HP75 transmission is awesome. It is a heavier-duty version of the other 8spd transmission (850RE).
For those that don't know, UREA is the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) that is injected in the exhaust (duh) to create clean emissions (basically water and nitrogen). The addition of the DEF tank is probably the primary reason for the reduction of the fuel tank from 21.5 gallons to 18.3 gallons.
There is a little joke in there: "3.73 REAR axle ratio". Hmmm, I wonder what is the FRONT axle ratio?
