A final Farout Edition will close order books on the 3.0L diesel engine.
The EcoDiesel will no longer be offered with the Ram 1500 next year as well.

Among the many elements, as reported by Autoblog, will be a gloss black grille and LED lighting, a black hood graphic with “3.0 Diesel,” body-colored High Line fender flares, and two-color five-spoke wheels.

With the removal of the EcoDiesel engine from both the Wrangler and the Ram 1500’s menu in 2023, this leaves the Gladiator as the only vehicle in which it can be fitted next year. That is, assuming Jeep doesn’t announce the opposite in the coming weeks or months.
