- 2021 JL Rubicon Unlimited EcoDiesel
Hi Guys,
Looking at JLURs. Primary intent is moderate trails/rock crawling the likes of Moab. Not much street driving.
Torn between the diesel and the 3.6. I've driven several 3.6 JLs in the rocks and really pleased with the torque (compared to our original 2008 JK). No experience with the 3.0.
I've driven three Duramax trucks over the last 10 years with only one DEF tank problem.
Just not sure it's worth the ~$3,000 difference (plus the additional maintenance costs).
Anyone with experience in the rocks with both the 3.6 and 3.0? Was the 3.0 worth the price of admission?
Final build will be a 3-1/2" lift and 37s. (Even the stock gearing with the 3.6 and 8-speed auto with 37s worked well on the rentals we have driving. Not sure I'd even consider re-gearing to 4.56.)
Thanks for any advice you guys can offer.
