Been thinking of trading my '12 for a '14 Summit. I noticed that my dealer has a few with the diesel option. I don't two anything. Why would I want the diesel? While I know that the mileage in the diesel is better, spending an extra $5000. and then 80-90 cents per gallon extra just to get 4 mpg is ridiculous imho.

I always thought of a diesel in a heavy duty truck like maybe a 2500 or 3500 pickup. Why would anyone want one in a GC?

I'm not just trying to start a flame. Maybe I'm missing something.

I'm curious after skimming this thread how the reliability if of these Jeep diesel's. The 3.0L in the WK seemed to be a piece of you know what. I'm all for diesel but it better be worth the premium. Wish the US would fully adopt it already.

Try lurking in the Aussie diesel forum. They're too new here to really tell about reliability, but they've had them in Aus for a few years now as I recall. OTOH they don't have to worry about DEF over there, so ours is slightly more complex.
