Yep, also a diesel Liberty. Although I dont know if they still offer it.

I think there was one for sale around here not too long ago. Pretty badass if you ask me. I think stacks are in order.

I heard something about using the crd diesel in the jk

I heard something about using the crd diesel in the jk

The JK was designed for the CRD........but right before they were to be made the .gov said the CRD didnt meet emissions. The CRD is still being used in jeeps elsewhere in the world. The wrangler, liberty, and grand got it in the jeep line.

Even the 300C got a turbo diesel V6......but not in america.

3.0CRD. Really not that impressive as far as diesels go IMO.

They are pretty rare but they did make them. I'd love to own one.

 

[MonkeyBiz]

Well I did the hard work, and foun d ya one buy it up moneybags

Its the mercedes bluetec 3.0, its low 200's in HP, high 300s in torque. Been around for a few years, but they only put them into the higher trim Limiteds, not in Laredo's, so they were pricy.

 

[v2win]

There was a rumor floating around there was going to be a 4 cylinder fiat based turbo diesel in the JK in the fourth quarter

For being jeep guys, you sure don't know much about their products in the last few years.

The Diesel Grand is much nicer than the Liberty.

I think i'd still hunt for a Toureg Diesel if i was looking for a diesel family hauler

 

[ajmorell]

I didn't say it wasn't better than the Liberty, but given the choice between the 3.0 diesel and 5.7 Hemi, I'd take the Hemi hands down.....even with the shittier mileage.

 

[dreezy]

I wish I had the hemi & QDII

3.0CRD: 215 horsepower and 376 lb-ft

5.7 Hemi: 357 horsepower and 389 lb-ft

 

[greygoose]

I would love to have one of those. Same torque as the hemi (close enough) and better fuel economy.

 

[nickb304]

anyone know how well they hold up?

 

[tcxtreme1000]

Sold a boat to a guy a few years ago that had one. He worked for jeep . Said it was gutless and really bad on gas. Just what I was told.

 

[dreezy]

I bet they're terrible if you put gas in them.
