I filmed all that and I somehow didn't put it in the video. So here it goes: I'm getting around 22 to 40mpg. 40mpg is flat going 80 kph (50 mph flat) so that's the best I'll see. I'm literally getting twice the fuel economy of my 3.6. Stock to stock I think they're close. But once loaded, it's not even close. Hope this helps.

You have one of my favorite off road channels. I was really turned off by a couple of the other channels who have spent many hundreds of thousands of dollars on Jeeps and equipment. Frankly driving a three hundred thousand dollar, Hellcat powered Jeep with all the best equipment is not a challenge for anyone and in my opinion doesn't represent the experience the majority of people have. However I feel your channel really captures a realistic experience that the majority of people could actually do. Great channel and I hope it continues to grow.

I'm lucky enough to wheel with some guys with their v8 swaps. It definitely has its place. These gladiators only come in the ecodiesel, or the 3.6.... 40s and tons and the 3.6 don't get along very well. My build works for me. At the end of the day it really doesn't matter what people wheel as long as they get out there. I think it's cool that they actually scratch their 300k builds. I hope you can see past the builds and see the video outside of that. Also I really appreciate your comment. I'll also keep it mind as I continue this KZbin journey. Cheers! And thank you.

I have a 2021 Wrangler Sport EcoDiesel with 53,000 miles on it. I don't do the things that you do but I love it. I am averaging 22 mpg a year on highway and off road with some town driving . I have 33 inch tires on it with a 2 1/2 inch lift. It is my only vehicle but I am retired and don't drive it to work daily. I drive it to town (about 10 miles) once or twice a week, in the desert for fun, and across country to visit family, friends and just to tour. I have de-rated once when it was near 100° F while climbing a 7% long grade in the mountains of Arizona. Other than that it has run perfectly. I love the power it has. I climb steep grades without slowing down (except the one time it de-rated). The torque curve is low rpms so I can crawl up steep grades off road without hardly spinning a tire. I am going to keep mine forever which for me is not as long as you since I am probably old enough to be your Dad. I subscribed a long time ago and love your adventures. Good luck on 25,000 but think higher. You can do it if half of the viewers would just click the subscribe button.

Running Green Diesel tune. No issues. Supposedly that turns the EGR down to a low pressure mode without actually disabling it. Don't know. I have not had any issues. These run well when you run them regularly. Short city commutes are hard on this engine and emissions system. If you don't drive much, or far, this isn't the right powertrain for you.
