What's going on with the
Jeep Wrangler diesel
concept vehicle on display in the Mopar booth at the
SEMA Show? An early news release
said it sports a 4.2-liter V6
diesel engine. The wheelstand sign says 4.2-liter diesel engine. We've heard
Cummins say they're building a 4.2-liter diesel for light-duty DaimlerChyrsler applications. But peeking under the hood I find a 3.0-liter common-rail diesel engine. None of the Mopar personnel on duty would talk, just saying that it's a concept vehicle and can't explain the sign. We know that
Jeep will offer a 3.0-liter CRD, which is made by
Mercedes-Benz, in the
2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. So it appears that someone at Jeep is having too much fun teasing us about the possibility of Cummins engine in a
Wrangler. Judging by the response from our earlier post, maybe Jeep should rethink its concept.
