FML. I could live with a turbo and not diesel - but Iām planning to wait on a ā19 for ACC - and really do not want to wait until after the holidays.Spoke with sales guy today about 2019s. Told him I wasnāt buying a 2018 so he might as well shoot me straight with info. His claims:
-Chrysler Rep was in their store 10 days ago.
-Comfirms ACC and Collision Warning, but late availability, most likely taking orders after holidays.
-No Dual Top Group for 2-dr Wranglers for several months. Again, maybe late availability.
-No confirmation the 3.0 ecodiesel is even coming. Said they pulled it from the Rams due to emissions and he wouldnāt speculate if a 2019 3.0 Wrangler is even near a reality at this point.
-2019 Wranglers will go up in price, $750-1,500.
Thatās disheartening. I told him to call me after the holidays, or if the 3.0 comes available before that.
Itās a sales guy so who knows. But I told him Iām waiting for 2019s anyways before the conversation took place.
PS: Theyāre still taking orders for 2018s through the week. 2019 ordering starts in early Sept.

Just what Iāve heard today, for what itās worth.
I know. Me either. At this point, Iām playing it week to week. You basically have to wait a month to order a 2019 now. Maybe info will surface by then. If not, my mentality is each week I go without ordering is another few hundred on the down payment and another week closer to knowing for sure or availability of said features/engine. Weāll just see how long I can hold out. āFML. I could live with a turbo and not diesel - but Iām planning to wait on a ā19 for ACC - and really do not want to wait until after the holidays.
Yeah, Iām with you. Except itās not about saving for a down payment for me, as mine is a lease. Itās about the residual value dropping each month and costing me more money as a result.I know.

Rumors on the Scrambler forums are the diesel will be late availability and possibly a 2020 model. I have been holding out for the diesel scrambler as I refuse to buy the V6 again in a Jeep (I personally hate it). If thats the case I'll be getting a Ford most likely.Anything else come out in the last month? Do you guys think that Jeep will announce that there wonāt be a diesel for us holdouts or will it just never show up?
I would guess if the Ram doesnāt get it that we wonāt for 2019 either. What do you guys think at this point?
I will probably wait until January at the latest and see where things stand.

But this is a NEW version of the Eco Diesel which I would expect those issues addressed. The V1 of the EcoDiesel is on sale in the Grand Cherokee currently. Its just taking them a long ass time to get the V2 certified.This sounds like very accurate info, based upon what else I've heard from reliable sources.
Just a fyi...emissions is only one issue with the EcoDiesel that caused it to be pulled from market. The other is rampant internal engine failure due to the cams not being keyed and spinning loose, typically at mileage just beyond warranty period, resulting in seized engines. From what dealerships are saying, it's a very widespread issue.
Exactly, and they are likely field testing it heavily to ensure that the internal flaws are corrected. That takes time. I suppose we could see it for calendar year 2019 but I'll be surprised.But this is a NEW version of the Eco Diesel which I would expect those issues addressed.
