Alleged pricing (they've been accurate before): http://www.wk2jeeps.com/wk2_2014_pricing.htm
MSRP for the most basic Diesel Grand Cherokee is $43,290 (that is including the destination charge of $995). Too rich for my blood, but not unobtainable.

I can guarantee you that they will not produce a product they will loose money on. 10 years ago people wouldn't have believed that you could sell at 40k dollar JK and viola. Perceptions change. I would likely pony up for a diesel JK and drop 45k. Others would opt for a gasser. Just like pick-up trucks. Who would have thunk a work truck can push $55k. Nuts.

Saving money on fuel is expensive...
Very true. Unfortunately, a diesel powerplant is no longer a value option. You do use LESS fuel, which is obviously good for the environment and allows for less payload dedicated to fuel storage. . .

Safer to transport too.
I know this has been brought before, and I think I know the answer. Places like Mexico and 3rd World countries are pretty much a no-no for the new
generation of diesels, correct?

http://www.wk2jeeps.com has loads of information about the new model. They've been fairly accurate in the past.

:sombrero: I think that some of you might know of my wonderment concerning the insane drive to get a diesel in a JK--
Some of you might know of my '08 JKUR and it's mods-
I would appreciate it, if anyone could tell me of any advantages in a diesel, over my 3.8L v6-gasser
Other than some wild claims about the environment-
Let the rain begin !

The advantages of small-displacement diesels are numerous, including better low-end torque, better range (fuel economy), safer fuel transport (safer fuel overall). Diesels also manage a load better with less performance impact. Our diesel Land Cruiser gets twice the fuel economy of the 80 series we had.

:sombrero: I understand all of that,but
The only advanyage in your statement is fuel economy and that one isn't far from my 15mpg towing and 18 mpg at 65mph, my JKUR weight is 5150lbs-UNLOADED-yes a little better, but no reason for a change to a diesel-
It may be advantageous to you because of your travel--but thats not normal-certainly not for me most of my trips are from 400 to 1200 miles and gas is no problem-
