    2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 3.0L EcoDiesel

    Ouch. In my area, a diesel wrangler with tow/cold weather/stereo is gonna fetch $50k. $50k opens a lot of doors!!!

    I was looking for this thread as I have commented in a few diesel Jeep threads and wanted to respond. I think the other thread dated back to 2017ish? This thread popped up since I am subscribed to it. It is very clear that Jeep/FCA/Stellantis (and Ford too) is listening to the customer which I...

    6% below invoice or 6% below MSRP (window sticker)? Big difference here. For what it's worth, they are starting to pop up on AutoTrader now.

    Clearly we have differences of what well equipped is. I do agree that a base model sport s with zero options except a diesel engine is a great deal. Add in a few creature comforts that come standard with any other 4x4 vehicle on the market today and you clear $45k pretty quick.

    Well equipped will be well north of $60k and I think that's a bit excessive.

    They did not. TFLCar on youtube has 2 videos out about the Diesel Wranglers and they are super informative.

    Tons of really great info in this thread. Wiredinoc, Very Cool! We had a JK identical to yours! Thank you for the post and interesting about the battery. It seems everyone is moving to a Li battery. Hopefully, I can pull the trigger in a few weeks.

    I am currently working with Bryan at Midwest Teardrop, which is out of MN. I didn't find Andy until a few weeks ago, otherwise, I would have. Bryan has also been top notch to work with to this point.

    The other downside to the AC is that I believe it is significantly impacted when we have RTT sitting over top of it.

    Thank you for all of the replies, they really help! Our heart is now set on a Kascade510. Several of the options that have been discussed above are items that I was a little hesitant on. i.e. the reading lights, under mattress storage, and the nose box. I am glad to hear they are worth the...

    Very nice! I just spent the past few weeks reading just about every post on all 72 pages and the general theme is that these are extremely robust trailers that need very little to be exceptional. My family and I hope to be in a trailer in the near future. I ask the owners: What would you...
