EcoDiesel Ordering
This is a reply I got from Jeep when I asked why I could not "build and Price" a Grand Cherokee with a diesel. Doesn't make sense. It is great to read of your interest in Jeep! Please be advis...

Still don't get the allure of the EcoDiesel...
Diesel prices here (PA) are higher than premium unleaded.
In the 1/2 tons the payload is junk, many under 1k.
The engine has serious quality issues.
The engine has lots of emissions stuff to go wrong.
The Ecoboost 2.7 gets about the same MPG, takes regular unleaded, and tows "like a Diesel".
It's bolted to the lowest quality vehicles on the road.
Diesel is the same or cheaper than regular here right now. The run up from the hurricanes didn't have nearly the effect on diesel prices as it did gas.
