Absolutely! Under the hood of the new 2020 Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel, you will find an all-new third-generation turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine that comes paired with engine stop-start technology. Remember those increased torque numbers we mentioned? While they take the form of 442 lb-ft of torque which is complimented by 260 horsepower. The EcoDiesel engine is then mated to a TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed automatic transmission that is designed for low RPM shifts and to handle on- and off-road driving.

We’re glad you asked! Jeep made several significant changes to the EcoDiesel engine for the third-generation that builds upon the strengths of the previous generations. After all, the previous generation EcoDiesel engine one “Wards 10 Best Engines” award from 2014 to 2016! The new EcoDiesel engine features a new-generation water-cooled turbocharger that utilizes low-friction beating and a variable geometry turbine. These upgrades increased responsiveness during tough conditions. Performance and fuel-efficiency of the EcoDiesel have been improved thanks in part to the dual loop system that is now apart of the exhaust gas recirculation system. The noise, vibration, and harshness of the engine have been decreased due to Jeep’s decision to offset the piston pin 0.3 millimeters from the centerline. Speaking of pistons the lightweight pistons were completely redesigned and now come with low-friction coating and thinner rings.

Yes, we can! The EcoDiesel engine utilizes a forged steel crankshaft and connecting roads along with dual overhead camshafts. The DOHC has four valves per cylinder and a 60-degree angle between cylinder banks. Oil jets cool the aluminum alloy pistons on the underside. In front of the radiator, at the base of the grille, you will find the engine’s turbo Charge Air Cooler. This position was picked for the optimal cooler temperatures the location provides.

For starters, the new EcoDiesel provides increased fuel efficiency so you can adventure further. The increased torque numbers allow you to crawl over even tougher obstacles so you can keep on going. The Wrangler EcoDiesel Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon all come with a third-generation Dana 44 front and rear heavy-duty axles which boasts a 3.73 axle ratio. You can opt to get your Wrangler EcoDiesel with either a Rock-Track two-speed transfer case or a Command-Trac part-time two-speed transfer case. The first provides a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio while the second has a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio!
