can't order AWD with the diesel

[Pete M]

and I'm mad.   a friend of the family (same guy who originally leased my Liberty back in 06) is ordering an oil-burner Glad for his employee lease this upcoming year and I've been doing research for "suggestions" (just in case my dad wants to buy it a year later like the KJ) and it looks like he can't get selec trac with the diesel.  dammit... 

 

damn. 

 

it.

 

 

that's my first-world complaint for today.  A uber-expensive Jeep I will probably never own might not be able to get the t-case I want.

You also can't get the diesel with a stick shift.

I've got a diesel Gladiator, love it. Eh, just pull the shifter back into 4WD when you think you need it.

meh.  the Libby has been in AWD mode since 2007.    I've gotten spoiled.

[derf]

I hesitated pulling the trigger on my diesel wrangler for that reason.

 

Did it anyway.

 

Glad I did.  It has all the power I need, especially after the Banks pedal monster and derringer tuner.  Not 392 Hemi power but enough for me.  And the turbo keeps the power up when I go over the passes.

 

The lack of AWD sucks but everything else is great.
