Grand Cherokee SRT diesel option

[TerryMason]

Chrysler made a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel available to the media for limited testing at their Proving Grounds last week. Hooked up to an eight-speed automatic, the VM diesel generates 240 horsepower, less than the V6 engine, but also pumps out 420 lb-ft of torque, well above the Hemi’s capacity. Fuel mileage easily beats both gasoline engines in both city and highway cycles, at 21 city, 30 highway with rear wheel drive (20/28 for 4×4).

We're looking at getting one. The Diesel is not the SRT but a Limited. I believe the tow rating is 7400 lbs, slightly higher than my Hemi WK.

I'm not getting rid if my Hemi, we're trading in a Patriot.

The goes like a bat out of hell off the line with the 420 torque but is... lacking at higher speeds with the low hp. Would still LOVE one though.
