Make sure its a REAL 4x4 with 'LOCKERS'! If not, its only a 'All wheel drive' car in which only 1 front & 1 rear wheel drives if traction is lost. I'd look into a Used 'Range Rover'. They are the best riding and the most capable REAL 4x4's in the world! Used prices are much better than Jeep.
Lockers are absolutely not needed with a Jeep GC. My older model uses the Quadra Trac system, On-demand. It utilizes a gerotor coupling in the Quadra-Trac II transfer case and in the Vari-Lok front and rear progressive axles to send torque to the front driveshaft and/or from side-to-side within each axle when wheel slippage occurs; includes low-range (2:72:1) single-lever transfer case mode operation.
Newer versions use electronic traction control, the very best in the industry.
As for the OP's question, research carefully about the diesel version; it has been plagued with problems, underperformance and reliability. Check with your dealer to make certain they can service it for you.
