Along with some spy shots of a heavily camouflaged Wrangler which the sources assume are of the 2018 JL platform wrangler, it has been confirmed that America will finally be getting a diesel option for their Jeeps!

It has been confirmed that the 2018 JL will have the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel as an option. While no numbers have been mentioned, if it is anything like the Ram 1500 then there won't be anything to complain about. The current 3.0 EcoDiesel puts out 240 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque. That is more than enough to get you moving through those backwoods trails. The Ram 1500 gets 29 MPG on the highway so maybe we can look forward to a Wrangler that gets decent gas mileage?

One thing that we can tell for sure from the photos is that there is 100% solid axles in both the front and rear so we can put that IFS rumor nonsense to bed. The most notable differences that can be seen in these photos is the sharper angle on the windshield slope and the wider front fender flares, although it is hard to say that this will be what the final iteration looks like.

I personally can't wait to get into one of these when they come out! Especially when you consider that when the diesel is available so will the Pickup version. See you at the dealership!
