How is the Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel during a cold winter?? 

You are correct on all points about winter mileage and winter driving. All Jeeps are great in the snow, but especially the Wranglers. You can do no wrong, Wranglers are the best 4x4s in any condition. I am glad both of you love yours.

Thank you for the excellent content! I am a new EcoDiesel owner myself in Chicago and I am loving every minute of it. I've had a lot of cars, but this Jeep is the most fun vehicle I have ever owned! You are so right, you feel like you can plow through anything. It feels so solid in the snow, love driving it!

I just ordered a 22 Wrangler Rubicon with the diesel engine. I have been told to keep the def fluid around half in the extreme cold northern Wi winters(-20 and below) and keep up with oil changes every 5-6,000 miles. I can't wait for it to arrive.

5:01 Dude, you are so right! Many people don't think about how air density can change with temperature and how that can effect everything from engine performance to the drag coefficiency.

I just bought a Gladiator WILLYS EcoDiesel from a dealer down in Idaho. I’m waiting for it to be shipped up here to North Pole, Alaska. I owned a ‘18 Ram 3500 w/the HO Cummins. The only issue I experienced with my truck was the DEF pump failed. We do experience temps typically between -15 to -35 F with extremes as cold -55F. My concern is with the DEF nozzle potential freezing or the DEF tank itself freezing up. But I enjoyed my Ram so much I thought I would give the EcoDiesel a shot. I test drove a Gladiator Overland EcoDiesel earlier this month while I was visiting family in Colorado and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the video, however, your “balmy” 11 F temps and what we experience here in Interior Alaska wouldn’t be a fair comparison. Time will tell will ultimately tell the tale if the EcoDiesel can handle the extreme cold. Cheers from Interior Alaska! 🎅🏻🎄🇺🇸

Love the passion for the eco diesel Thanks for video

Keep the videos coming!

I bought my 2021 Willy Wrangler Nacho-colored ECO Diesel new April 2021. I love it! At 260hp and 442torque this thing is a beast.

This is a great video and you’re correct about how technology has advanced so much. Actually diesel by volume produce more BTU energy than its counterpart gasoline engines. Since diesel actually produces more energy than gasoline, it takes less to produce the equivalency of gasoline. It’s why you get more with less. They run cooler for the same reason. I just bought my 21 Wrangler EcoDiesel and we’re very pleased with it. We live in Florida though. 😂

My 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has started as low as -10 F, but would not start at -12 F. No engine block heater. At -12 F , was not going anywhere outside anyways! Great engine, currently at 255,000 miles.

OMG get rid of that treacherous snow scraper thing with the scraper ahead of the brush! I enjoyed the video. Thumbs up!

For cold temperatures, I'm in the Northeast of the states and the worse cold that ever could remember was last winter. It got down to -14 degrees F for one day. The plastic oil filter/cooling housing on our 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk 3.2 with 70,000 miles cracked the following week. We were going down the road and lost 5 quarts of oil before the check engine light came on. I suspect that that cold snap did it.

luv the video

Awesomeness

-29F in Montana last night w/ -44F windchill. Block heater or not, diesel will gel -20F if untreated. Your fuel tank isn’t heated. That said, diesels get along fine in Prudhoe Bay, you just have to be mindful and take preventative measures. Otherwise you’ll be de-gelling fuel filters left and right.

The required synthetic 5w40 oil is helpful in cold. But adding Hot Shots Secret EDT with the anti-gel treatment will help in the cold. I love the way the Ecodiesel drives. I have a '16 Ram 1500 3.0L, and wanted to get a JLU or JLT with the Ecodiesel. But the dealers that I checked, did not option any vehicles the way I wanted. And they were not helpful to order one equipped how I wanted. I do have a '96 ZJ that I may put a Cummins R2.8 engine with the ZF 8-speed transmission in it. By the way, the Ecodiesel does have a factory block heater. You just have to buy the rather expensive cable kit.

Hello, thank you for the video. I have a 2022 wrangler 3.0 eco that looks very similar to your in the video. It did not come with an engine block heater. I haver purchased one. You mentioned that you have done a video about install of the block heater but I cannot find it. Can you help?

How’s the one touch sky top in the snow?

I am in Eastern Europe and I have one of the last of the Older 2.8 CRD Wranglers....and what I can't get my head around is that someone can afford (they are much more expensive here)..a Jeep like this.....but they do not have a garage (heated or unheated) to keep it in.??? Mine Lives in a large modern garage.Barn and has no problems in down to -30c

Any chance you could highlight how fast the cabin heats up after a cold start? I know you mentioned it heats quickly, but that is relative. My 19 RAM Cummins will push warmish air in 4 minutes due to the PTC electric heaters in the cab, and I see where the Jeep has a fuse labeled for PTC heater. Does the Wrangler kick out cabin heat as fast or faster? Thanks. Just looking for info as the Wrangler is kind of on the radar. Great videos by the way!!

Thinking about trading my wrx off for one of these with the eco diesel.

What about the roof and snow piling Up after an overnight. Does the sly one hold up with inch’s of snow on it?

Exactly the video I was looking for. I'm in Wisconsin.. I'm still on the fence with the diesel.

We got to -47 degrees where I live two days ago. I wonder how it would do in those temps.

It almost makes me regrets trading my 2020 ecodiesel Sahara for my 2020 Pentastar Rubicon!

Awesome I give you extreme lot of credit for not buying a stupid Toyota good work keep it up and God-bless

Hmmm. I’m in Montana. Wondering if that would work for me. Much colder.

Run "dry gas" thru it every now and then? umm...what does this mean?

Try Saskatchewan! Didn't get above -30 C (-22F), with lows into mid -40's, from first week of January to nearly end of February!! You HAVE to plug in diesel vehicles here during the winter! No choice!!!

How is the defrosted working on the windshield?

I’m about to trade my 21 3.6L V6 Rubicon for a 21 3.0L diesel Rubicon hopefully it works out.

What kind of mpg are you getting on the highway?

If winter driving is your number one concern, a Subaru Outback is your perfect vehicle, NOT with stock tires though. Get some Geolandar G015 rubber.

If it is below -20, I am not leaving house 😁

Hey are you 2 going to Jeep The Mac this year?

Th EPA wants to know how much snow your Diesel melted. LOL.

If you live in the North Woods, leave that horn-start active, i've got no complaints about that. If you move next to me, disable it ! Merely look out the window as you hit the start fob and observe the lights flash and then stay on once one it's running, if you want to insure it started. Thanks for the (horn) silence ... Thanks ...

How is your skyonetouch in winter? Feel cold inside?

I’m worried about the diesel exhaust fluid acting up.

Winter fuel has a different additive package in it for the colder weather, which will give you less mileage.

I just purchased my Gladiator Ecodiesel this summer. I live in Alaska. When I use the auto start the blower motor (for the heater or defroster) doesn’t come on. Is that different in the winter?

I’ve never owned a Jeep but have had diesel trucks… I don’t need a big truck anymore so I’m thinking of buying a Jeep diesel…just worried about the longevity of these vehicles

obviously you live in an area that is not that cold. If you are familiar with North Dakota or Northern Minnesota where temps can be -20 for days even weeks at a time you would need to plug that jeep in at night or if it sits for over several hours with out being run. Also you would need to put in blended fuel or #1 diesel fuel because straight #2 fuel will gel and you will NOT get it started. Sure it has fuel heaters but the engine has to be running for that to work. You might not have problems with it where you live, but where I come from there would be problems, guaranteed.

The front top window of the cabin is crooked as shit. Lol sorry just random observation

The reason why diesel engine run colder is because of the lower rpm and the fact diesel engine are much heavier bigger more metal to disperse the heat.

Nice car. But you’d never catch me in a fiat in a northern mid-west snow storm.
