I have done countless hours of research, and just when I think I have made my decision, I find something to sway me.
I am coming from a 2011 JGC Overland with HEMI and loved it. I will say the transmission left something to be desired, but from what I have read, the new 8-speed is a dream (with HEMI or Diesel).
I am not really basing my decision on economy, but it doesn't hurt.
I am also not really basing my decision on upfront cost, but again, it doesn't hurt.
What I am mostly interested in, is day-to-day experience. The HEMI had plenty of power and never left me disappointed. How does the Diesel stack up? I have read "Hemi for passing, Diesel for towing".
I have never owned a diesel powered vehicle, but know that they can be tuned for some serious power. My buddy had a Ram 2500 Cummins, and with a little tuning, was putting out some impressive numbers. I have not seen anything concrete for the ECO Diesel though.
I do not plan to do much towing, and if I do, it would be light duty and not often.
Am I missing anything? Please let me know your thoughts. I am looking to buy within a week.
Thanks in advance!
