So, picked up my Overland Eco Diesel on Sat May 9.
Will post driving impressions and general observations over the next few weeks.
Thrilled with my color choice both inside and out. Max steel is an interesting color in that it changes in different lighting. Blue, gray, sometimes looks almost black.
Dealer did a decent job cleaning her up before pick up and filled full of fuel.
I note a bit of glue residue on windshield from window stickers, but should clean up with a bit of alcohol base cleaner and maybe a razor scraper. As previously said in another thread, my unit came with chrome rail steps, which I personally don't care for so dealer removed at my request. The rock rails I ordered turned out to be wrong as they ordered wrong sku # and fit a JKU Wrangler, so, correct ones are rerdered and should be here in a day or two. The others have already been sold off. My chrome steps are in my storage barn and will be posted for sale on kijiji in a few days by me. Mopar hood deflector and splash guards look great! I installed Weathertec window deflectors on driver and passenger fronts so far...still have rears to do.
I note we have a squeek coming from passenger side somewhere..possibly the headliner issue others have had. I will trouble shoot over the next couple of weeks, or as a last resort let dealer fix.
Driving impressions thus far are favourable. I do notice the turbo lag but really not a big issue. I may try the fix that has been suggested by disabling hill descent control. Power is great and very smooth; ride is comfy and a huge diff coming from a Wrangler LOL. Still kinda playing with U-connect and various options. Tried out heated seats and steering wheel...both nice features along with dual climate controls. Headlifghts are also quite bright and a huge improvement over previous vehicle.
Mileage is wow! 503 km thus far and used 3/8 of a tank. My wrangler got like 15 - 18 mpg so this is a real treat. I have 2 more out of town trips this week yet, so I'll be somewhere around 1500 k this time next week. I will manually track mileage in my excel spreadsheet as I have found computers in cars not to be totally accurate.
Generally very happy with purchase, and looking forward to learning more about the various features it has. Planning first wax job next week end. Goodyear Duratracs will be a fall addition.
