This thing looks hot. I like it alot, and it is powered by the 2.8L CRD. It is practically a wrangler with a bed. If you bad mouth a Jeep, you are an idiot.

Has anyone actually seen this diesel yet?



They've been talking about it for 2 years and still I haven't seen one other than this year at the Detroit Auto Show.

They are bringing the scrambler back! Should have called it a scrambler though, I guess "gladiator" is cooler.

Jeep's CRD is pretty cool. It has a nice amount of torque. 295-300lb-ft. We have a handful at our dealership where I work. I drove one, they can haul some ***, and the 4x4 is fun to play with.

Not very much to be honest. I don't recall right now. It is only offered in the Liberty Sport and Liberty Limited. It says it delivers 295lb-ft@1800rpm.



It seems that the Commando is going to come out also. It is based off of the Mercedes G class chassis. It has 3rd row seating, which is a first in jeep.
