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.
MethodMarine both have the same gears in the axles
I thought you guys traded in the Rebel for the 7.3?
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!
@@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
In Australia we have had the 3.0lt V6 Diesel since the introduction of the Grand Cherokee WK2 and its a good reliable engine. Keep up the great work TFL team!
Why Australia get all the nice diesels
@eriktenhag2022 I have a 2021 wrangler ecodiesel. Fantastic jeep. 55k miles no issues.
This video is just what I needed, I’m holding out for my wrangler diesel.
Blake Fogarty they promised the gladiator would also get the diesel..... I’m waiting for that.
It is amazing that for the cost of the Toyota TRD or the gladiator, you can get 4wd, crew cab, DIESEL RAM (as long as you hit one of the three big sales of the year - dodge sales are great, jeep and Toyota sales, not so much).
I wish we could get gobi on the wrangler... have an order for sting gray which im not too thrilled about... also sarge green is supposed to come out soon. Decisions on color
I don’t know guys... that 3rd gen 3.0L EcoDiesel is 80% redesigned- almost a new engine. I wouldn’t want to be FCA’s beta tester.
Hold out till the bugs are worked out
Before you buy an Ecodiesel do yourself a favor and do a lot of research. Check out www.ram1500diesel.com/ I had one in a 1500 and it went to shit at 65k miles, many guys have had more than one engine go south.
Can't wait for the diesel in a Gladiator :)
$$$
or in the 2dr
All those people who purchased the gas Gladiators are going to seriously regret not waiting for diesel. The Pentastar is way too underpowered for a truck!
@DrgnFlys No. On the Wrangler it's a $4,000 option. I assume it will be the same on the Galdiator.
Me too! I spoke to a salesman today and unfortunately this was his response: "It may take a few years. They had been telling us that the diesel would be in the 2007 Wranglers. So it may take some time." : (
So many comments from people who don’t know these drag races are just done for fun. They aren’t saying they make the Wrangler better overall than the other trucks, just quicker over a short distance when unladen.
Same clowns that say tug a wars are the ultimate test of torque and towing lmao.
No kidding! People taking this seriously. One guy below wants to see two wranglers line up so it’s apples to apples. I don’t even know what to say about that one.
David Klein LoL unless you live at high elevations
Theyre both gonna break before 50k miles so they both lose
Honestly, this makes me really impressed with the super duty. It weighs 2000lbs more and barely lost at a mile above sea level. That is impressive.
I agree with that, but acording the TFL previously videos the 2019 PowerWagon did 0-60 in 8.12 seconds on that same track... And that 7.3 godzilla did in 8.51 seconds... I want to see the new Tremor 7.3 against the new PowerWagon!!!
PW 0-60 in 21:48; czcams.com/video/yCM7MOyjC00/video.html
@@nilsonfilho8108 I mean, that is fair, but power wagon doesn't have nearly the same tow numbers or payload capacity.
@@xaviermcquiston1604 Yea, i'm just saying that i expected more from the new 7.3 with the 10-speed, specially against the old 6.4 Hemi. Anyway 8.5 seconds still is very fast.
@@nilsonfilho8108 This 7.3L is also brand new though, it'll drop probably at least 1/2 to 3/4 of a second off its 0-60 once the engine gets broken in. I have no doubt it'll outperform the 6.4L Hemi Ram, mostly because Fords own 6.2L already proved that it could outrun the 6.4L Ram's when TFLT drag raced all the gas H.D trucks a couple of years ago.
@@nathanmcdonald610 Yea i remenber, at that time both had 6-speed. And at that time the 2017 PW with 6-speed did the 0-60 in 9.75 seconds, later the 2019 PW with 8-speed did in 8.12 seconds... A huge improve. Maybe the Ford 7.3 win but it will be soooo close. Just my opinion
Just bought a new black Jeep Gladiator overland Jan. 4th love it!
You must be 5’5
Altitude killing the big blocks but the 3.0 Diesel is great. Great fun thanks.
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.
Altitude is compensated for by the computer. No excuse to say altitude since they are both computer controlled.
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.
@@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.
Gladiator---- vanquished
Rebel------ vanquished
Ford------vanquished
Vanquish------- gotta test a Vanquish
*Godzilla
LMFAO a 5.0 f150 would beat any of those trucks
2020 SRT Grand Cherokee?? 4.4 sec. 0-60
This video is like lining up the chess club for a sprinting race.
Carolus Magnus 😂
@Carolus Magnus i thought they were technician glasses?
Romana stole my great aunt’s glasses
Big, ugly, transparent framed glasses are pretty trendy these days. Last few years, it was tortoise shell. Before that, it was full black frames or the Malcom X horned rim glasses. I predict the Steve Urkel look we make a comeback pretty soon.
@@AkioWasRight yea but his a 60 year old Man he shouldnt be trendy
@@davidmaldonado9717 This is true.
I'm both impressed and amazed, did not expect that
You didn't expect the lighter and much more powerful Wrangler to beat the Gladiator or to beat the naturally-aspirated 3-ton Ram at altitude? Okay.
@@nickmotsarsky4382 no what his Saying is he didnt expct the Fiat Jeep products to even finish the race
I love how its always "it sounds nice" when a car loses a drag race lol
Can’t wait to see that diesel in the Gladiator!!!
That's The Good Word!
Hey you guys should start doing drone finish shots from directly above.
Jay P, great idea. It would look so awesome 😎.👍
Yes!!! That's a great idea. Visually very exciting. You could even do a split screen.
Whoever OK'ed those clear frames on his glasses needs to be brought up on charges.
you guys relationship is honestly inspirational
Wow, first surprise was how quick the diesel Jeep is at altitude. Second surprise is how much quicker the new 7.3 super duty is than the Hemi ram!
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).
I think Alex on Autos ran the 2019 F250 diesel 0-60 in the 6 second range. That’s the one you should have used lol. Something with nearly 1000 ft lbs of torque.
Poor godzilla , isnt even broken in yet
Really not that big of a deal on a gasser
Curious to see what the 2.0L turbo Wrangler could do......
same here.
^ This. TFL - make it happen 👍
No different than the v6
@@1titans it will be different. Higher altitude...
I drove one a few weeks ago. It’s genuinely quick.
I’m really shocked it beat the 7.3 liter and Rebel.
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.
The big 35s on the ram is what slowed it down so much. If it was stock it would've beat the jeep
Nathan McDonald yea sure man you get tired of hearing how great that 7.3 is so far it looks like its a failure. Ford fanboys will just keep hyping it up,I can what to see it get crushed on the ike. Or maybe it will brake down like the gas 250 did last year.
@@davidharris9259 How is it a failure Dave? It definitely kept up with diesel Jeep better than the much lighter modified Hemi Ram, You do realize its a 7500lb 3/4 ton truck with 35's on it right? As far as outright speed goes, its a wonder than it was able to outrun a modified lighter 1/2 ton Hemi Ram. I bet you money that this 7.3L will eat and shit out both the 6.4L Hemi Rams and the new 6.6L gas Chevy's, if you don't agree than you're just as bias as you're accusing me of being.
David Harris I’m hearing crickets from your end, Davy. Where’s your snarky, uncreative retort? Who have you been hearing from that are saying how great the 7.3 is. There is still very little information and driving impressions available. All you’re hearing is just speculation based on what’s on paper, and the few videos available are still too vague to make any opinions as of yet. But go ahead and keep on being biased like the way you’re claiming ‘Ford fanboys’ are being....
That new diesel is peppy gotta say I'm surprised it beat the ram as I have one of the new 1s with the hemi and they are pretty fast pickups. Can't help but wonder how quick the diesel would be with a delete kit.
Got a 21 rubicon diesel and plan to. Currently on Banks
Love my Ram EcoD, but a diesel Gladiator would be my dream vehicle. I believe my tuned Ecodiesel is a bit quicker, at least to 60, than my last hemi Ram.
Just got my JLU rubicon diesel! Loved this video.
The guy driving the gladiator quietly swaps out his gladiator for stradman 600hp one
The Cold air intake does nothing more than empty the wallet! Love that JL Ecodiesel.
It's funny that before they messed with the dodge it went 0-60 in 7.5 seconds, considerably quicker than the fastest time of 8.6 seconds from the diesel jeep.
Depends on the intake and set up with other mods . Sorry about your luck .
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.
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.
Would have been great to see you drag the Jeep EcoDiesel vs. the Silverado 3.0 Duramax.
Oh yes..
Roman... that's EXACTLY how I laugh when little civics and Mazda 3s try to take me in my sahara eco diesel. I love you guys! Hahaha
Looking forward to Jeep 3.0 vs gm 1500 3.0 diesel
Start at 1:41
Diesel is a king! that’s why trucks in Europe, South America, South East Asia and the other market dominated by diesel.
The 250 is as fast to 60 as my Crown Vic with the 3.27 rear end. Insanity.
I feel like tommy could have won if the f250 was in 4 wheel high and tow haul mode. I have seen faster times in my ram 1500 in tow haul mode. I often call it the sport mode. I have not seen if you guys have tested this. Thank you and keep up the great content.
You guys crack me up 😂Are you needing to go back to some childhood history you missed out on lol 😝 Keep it up chaps it’s hilarious 🤣
I suspect those trucks had tow friendly rear ends. The wrangler is just geared different.
Also, that 3rd gen 3.0L EcoDiesel is 80% redesigned- almost a new engine. I wouldn’t want to be FCA’s beta tester.
Big Mo same gearing on the wrangler as gladiator
Wrangler Diesel gearing is 3.73 in all trim levels including the Rubicon.
Gladiator Rubicon is 4.10 gearing like the gas powered Wrangler Rubicon.
In that weather condition, a turbo will have a significant advantage
Randy Carlisle: please elaborate about the weather - aren’t they also at high altitude? Does that also effect diesel different than gas?
@@killdizzle depends on the size of the turbo
Lol, wut?
The air density in that foggy weather is cold and the cooler or colder the air is, the more bang or oof in the combustion chamber. Even above a mile of sea level, it’s better to have turbo/super chargers than nothing.
Put the diesel in the gladiator and more towing capacity, for now the canyon/colorado is the only choice when you want a midsize truck that can really tow.
The diesel will be rated to tow less than the V6. Engine compartment has a bad design for heat dissipation.
Info from a Jeep engineer.
@@Cmott426 They can make it work. They just have to wait for demand.
I'm so happy with my Ecodiesel gladiator tows way better than the pentastar v6.
Fun video. I really like the diesel, but considering that I average about 1000 miles per month on my truck, I had better stick with the max tow variant of the EcoBoost F150.
Love the videos you guys are putting out! Keep killing it.
That Wrangler Diesel is very impressive.
This was great. I just drag raced my friend’s son with his beater gran marquise against my Rubi diesel as a joke and it smoked the merc. That 8spd really shifts fast through those gears.
I just looked at when they did a drag race on the power wagon and it did it in 8.12 seconds.... so the new ram 2500 with the 8 speed is just as fast if not faster then the new ford 7.3.! Should make for good reviews for the HD gas IKE!
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 😢
You Gotta Love The Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel! But The Jeep Gladiator Needed A 2.0L Turbocharged To Make It Quicker Than That V6.
TFL should do a tire and lift vs stock comparison on the drag strip, fuel economy, and speedo change. I bet going from stock 30 to 35 in tires with a lift would show a big change.
I run 15.3 with 35's and 4.88 gears. 14jk 3.6 .
Wow, was blown away by these results. I thought the 3.0 was the slowest of them all great video!! Cant wait to see the eco diesel in the gladiator, I think that will be the ticket!.
Now let’s see which vehicle lasts the longest......pretty sure it will never be any cost cutting garbage FIAT product it’s a shame they ruined a good brand like JEEP.
These guys are the definition of mopar or no car
Liked to have seen the Ranger EcoBoost go against the Jeep
The Gladiator Diesel is coming. The towing capacity is limited by the suspension on the Jeeps. That's why they don't gain with the diesel.
My diesel gladiator feels like a rocket once it gets into the boost. Not as fast as my pervious hemi cars, but definitely enough to have fun in traffic.
I didn't expect the Jeep diesel and Ram would be quite that slow. My 2014 F-150 5.0 SuperCab 2wd does a consistent 0-60 between 6.2-6.3s and a 1/4 in the low 15s range. 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.
I am very impressed with these results. I would love to see the same races at sea level
About to pay my 2015 off and have zero payment...aaaaand I do want a diesel wrangler, but I’m not convinced this is the Diesel engine and I certainly don’t want a payment.
My last truck custom ram rebel. Now I have Jeep gladiator rubicon.
Honestly how many codes did the two cars throw after this drag race
If only you guys had a long test track like Carwow
yea this track is tiny, not at all meant to be drag racing on, even for these small tests
no jokes about Silent Hill?
_i am disappoint_
Insert cat meme when Roman beats Andre
People need to stop being angry over these videos which are aimed at fun. Obviously the Ram is going to be quicker down at sea level, the 3.6 wrangler would probobly be quicker as well, but here we are at a mile up where those vehicles are down 30% on power. Just enjoy the video for what it is, fun!
Lived in Denver for 5 years, foggy day is quite a rare occasion.
Andrey Starovoytov it’s all the pot smoke......
Great job!! I was afraid you'd either wait till end to show race or it would be lame after the race but as usual you guys are funny, engaging & give really good info, love your channels!!!
THIS VIDEO IS WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THANK YOU A TON!!!!
I have tazer and 37" baja legend exp. Im getting 6 seconds. Banks derringer and pedal monster.
That Super Duty is impressive. That big boy runs 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎
Donnie James what's so impressive about it? It lost and will continue to lose because it's a shitty Furd.
You might as well race economy cars. That makes just as much sense as this.. not designed for this AT ALL..
@Captain Caveman You shut it and go drive your Yugo. We are just naming random things the other person doesn't own, right? I've never played this game.
I can’t believe the ram lost this is one of my favorite videos you guys have done
The best 0-60 time they got with that diesel jeep was 8.6 seconds. But when they compared their Rebel against the new powerwagen, they were clocking the rebel 0-60 at about 7.5 seconds. so they must have really messed up the rebel's acceleration with tires and exhaust, or there is something else going on with it.
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. I wouldn't live in the mountains without it!
@Eat Jat * oh yes. I'm a mechanic by trade and other than intake problems, the foundation of that engine is a beast!
Wow! I'm excited to see the Wranglers when the aftermarket comes along with more boost and a tune!
😳 wow that’s awesome!!!
I’d like to see a Gladiator diesel vs a 2 door 2.0🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸
best review I've seen yet awesome.
So does this mean there is a replacement for displacement...
Yes BOOST!
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.
My dad has that ram reble same color and even the rollbar on the back
Imagine that Jeep with a good tune!!!!
Impressive. They always leave some extra meat on the bone with the TURBOS!!!
No, the potential comes from the fact that it's a V6. It had the displacement to perform unlike all the turbo 4s being made today
It's a fiat diesel. I'd leave it as it is. Safer.
William Warner Same here. Why even risk something going wrong and dodge telling you that you modified it. None the less color me impressed with the new 3.0 oil burner
Great video 👍🏼. Love your channel and videos. Would love to see the 4 cylinder turbo vs the diesel
4:35 The Ram was raised before the Ringler.
Just curious can’t you break your transfer case by drag racing in 4x4 on pavement??????
Why would you? Unless they're drag racing in 4low, but that would be just silly 😅 Tho you got a point in a way... they're driving Fiat cars and yeah, could blow transfer case even if you let it idle 😂
TFL is talking me into a wrangler Dang it!
As the saying goes, “Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races.”
Which is why that 3.6 Pentastar loses to just about anything .....
Guys-Please...how do you not drag it with your very own Rubicon Unlimited 2.0 Turbo w/eTorque???
This is a perfect opportunity to compare Wrangler powertrains (not Gladiator).
What about a 0-60 race and off road comparison between the Rubicons, as well as MPG real world test?
Please consider.
Should do this test with 4 more people and luggage up a slight incline to see what happens. I have a car that's fast in the straights with a little engine. By the time I put weight inside or there is a hill and then I get smoked by about any other car out there.
Great video guys! It's nice to see how the diesel performs.
I love the idea of that diesel torque and better mpg's, but $250 to change the oil and filling up your DPF fluid ever 2500 miles... is it worth it?
Why Tommy did not bring their Porsche Cayenne - other European turbo powered engine vehixle which does perform at a mile elevation appropriately?
You guys have the best videos. Love it!
You guys should do a Drag race against the eco diesel the 3.6 the 2.0 Turbo see which one is quicker . I just Ordered my Rubicon unlimited 5 weeks ago and the diesel engine wasn't available yet dam
Thanks, so now it looks like waiting on the Gladiator diesel is the way to go!!!
Great video!
Now test Jeep Wrangler Ecodiesel vs Gladiator Ecodiesel vs Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. And Ram Ecodiesel vs Ram Hemi.
the plug in wrangler is going to be awesome. If it has 30 mile electric range most commutes and around town require no gas. then you have electric speed and torque and probably 35-40mpg when running as a hybrid
also i mean an ev one with 300+ mile range would be great too.
Roman, you are likely correct about the Wrangler Diesel being the vehicle with the most torque and mileage but least towing capability if you don’t included EVs. The Tesla Model 3 Performance, to name one, has it beat in those areas if EVs are included.
Good point and good catch
Come back and try gladiator diesel vs gas engine. the weight difference in the wrangler vs gladiator is a significant factor as well as the gear ratio. So if everything isn't of like kind then this is really and exercise of fun rather than capability.
I had a girl (not that that matters) pull me from a dig in a jeep trachawk. I was in my Cadillac CTS-V. I really did not try to launch but when I saw her pulling me there was nothing I could do. It was like watching her pull away in slow motion. Props to Jeep performance.
And then tune the disel. 420 torque to 550 ?
i love that gladiator colour
I think this says more about how slow the Wrangler diesel is than anything. It's really not that impressive that it can barely pull on a 7000+ lb F250 at 5000' ASL.
