Does the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Diesel DEMOLISH A New Gladiator In a Drag Race?

[@MethodMarine]

You guys are emphasizing that the wrangler is a quicker drag car based on *engines.* Yes, I agree... "torque" wins races. But you guys are neglecting the Gladiator probably got "towing truck gears in the rear end," making it slower off the line. Also, gasoline engines tend to have the torque more readily available across the entire rpm spectrum, where as typically with a diesel you can get loads of torque but you do have to wait longer for it, even with these car companies putting turbos on them. Put the same gears in both vehicles then see what happens.

[@tomasmica325]

MethodMarine both have the same gears in the axles

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

I thought you guys traded in the Rebel for the 7.3?

[@nstevennelson]

The Black Forest Gear throwback top has superior sealing from leaks, can be installed by yourself in half an hour, and is made right here in Michigan, USA!

[@jacobwalls452]

@@MethodMarine umm...incorrect...the turbos are usually for top end power, not low-end torque....diesels have all the torque down low and not much up top...of course that depends on the size of the exhaust housing, variable vane turbos, dumping extra fuel to ignite in the turbo to spool faster, etc

Altitude killing the big blocks but the 3.0 Diesel is great. Great fun thanks.

[@garthhayward9581]

Lilac Tortoise Definitely played a part but the big loss at that altitude in power for naturally aspirated motors means that the diesel turbo has even more of an advantage.

[@0004612]

Altitude is compensated for by the computer. No excuse to say altitude since they are both computer controlled.

[@garthhayward9581]

SAM Cooper I think non turbo ICE vehicles lose efficiency with less oxygen somewhere in the order of 3% per 1000 foot in altitude. So at 5000ft around 15% in performance loss. It's all about manifold air density and Turbos with good inter coolers increase manifold air density which is why they enhance power even at altitude.

[@steve0763]

@@0004612 Not true at all. NA engines loose 3% of their HP for every 1Kft of elevation. So at a mile high, the v8 and v6 engines are down 15%. The diesel, since it has a turbo, can still see the same target boost pressures, but it'll just take a little longer to reach those pressures. In other words the diesel will still make the same HP/TQ numbers, it'll just spool up a little slower.

[@406Steven]

The Ram is lifted and on bigger tires, the engine in the F-250 was built to make gobs of torque across the whole rev range and has 2 extra gears in the transmission. I don't remember which rear axle they got in the F-250 but if they got the 4.30 (which every Super Duty should have, the 3.73 shouldn't even be an option) then they've really got the gearing, torque, rotating mass, and aerodynamic advantage (remember, the Ford still has that huge chin spoiler on it and they are functional).

The Elevation is the deciding factor here. The Turbos on the diesel really help it out a lot seeing as they are a mile above sea level, and the 7.3L and 5.7L are both NA engines. If this course were a little longer or the they were at sea level though the 7.3L would absolutely demolish that Jeep.

I always thought it was slower in 4 wheel drive, more middle man between engine and tire. Also, do the 2.0L turbo vs. the diesel next time.

[@finnishfatman]

Well, when you think about it this way... Old SRT8 (Jeep WK) was pretty much quickest in its class (and even compared to some other SRT models) because it had AWD. Sure, AWD is NOT same as 4WD, but you know, if it was just rear wheel drive it wouldn't be as quick since it'd just burn tires and wouldn't go anywhere, compared to how it goes when all tires are doing it.

[@JsGarage]

I’d like to see this at sea level. Regardless, I’ve never seen an ecodiesel so motivated lol. Before you guys start arguing torque, torque isn’t speed, HP is and this thing only has 260. I expected this engine to be a good way to go for wrangler though since they won’t give us 8 cylinders 😢

It was doing that before the intake and exhaust. That's not even really fast at all. Maybe the mile above sea level is the reason for the high 0-60 times and my times being lower is because I live in Florida at about 72ft above sea level.

Forced induction/high altitude story.... So I live in flat America near sea level. I took my 90yo father's 1996 Buick Park Avenue Ultra (supercharged) on a quick vacation through the smokey mountains in Tennessee. As the altitude brought all of the cars to using their hazard lights and trying to maintain 45mph on the 6% grades, I rocketed up those mountains so fast, I couldn't believe it! That measly 240 supercharged horsepower could run by regular cars at 85mph like nothing. I never expected THAT MUCH of a difference with forced induction.

After driving them back to back more than once, I'm still convinced the V6 pulls better than the 2.0 turbo, and I haven't otherwise heard that the diesel is quicker than the I4. I may try out a diesel someday, but I still think the Pentastar is the best option. If a tune can get the diesel Wrangler in the 5s, maybe I'll go diesel next time, but I've been very happy with the Pentastar.

Under 7 seconds? Going down hill with a tailwind? My Acadia 3.6 eats them for snacks ....

@@kenoday7562 www.caranddriver.com/jeep/wrangler 4dr auto 6.8 seconds, 2dr manual 6.1 seconds. I can't speak for the Acadia (never driven one) but the modern Wranglers can surprise a lot of vehicles.

I honestly think the 2020 F250 6.7 is quicker than the 7.3 the power in it is amazing

Jeep's power to weight and agility has always been hard to beat.

If only you guys had a long test track like Carwow

[@logdon17]

yea this track is tiny, not at all meant to be drag racing on, even for these small tests

[@AirfoilOne]

Remember that white 2014 Q5 TDI you guys reviewed? You should put this against it in a drag!

Horsepower wins races. The two big trucks (and the Gladiator) were pulling up on the diesel but the finish line is too short. 1/8th mile? On the quarter the diesel would have lost. There was an interesting article a few years ago from Auto, Motor, Und Sport comparing a Golf GTD against the similar horsepower GTI and they both had the same quarter mile times, same 0-62, and similar fuel economy, driven really hard, despite the TDI having almost twice the torque. Granted, driven sensibly on the streets the GTD feels spunkier and returns better fuel economy because you can short shift it but they perform similarly if driven aggressively.
