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 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

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.

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).
Whoever OK'ed those clear frames on his glasses needs to be brought up on charges.

Torque is just a vague proxy for the power curve. Power under the curve, the energy imparted to the vehicle, is all that counts. The Wrangler, 4300lb with 260lb and a turbo canceling altitude effects and taking advantage of the misty conditions for intake charge cooling, has an advantage over naturally aspirated engines in heavier vehicles. The 7.3L was close in wt/hp, but it lost power because of the altitude. They were very close. For a Wrangler, the diesel definitely ups the game in ways it doesn't in the Ram 1500.
In that weather condition, a turbo will have a significant advantage

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.

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.

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 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.
Love the videos you guys are putting out! Keep killing it.
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.

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!

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.
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.
The most interesting fact is.. Diesel 4x4 nowadays are faster than hot hatches 10-20 yrs ago.

I'm not too familiar with these diesel 4x4's, but do tell me which ones those would be, unmodified of course? Something that's faster than, say, Golf R32 from 10-20 years ago, or even something like humble and cheap GTI Mk5 (which is slower than R32, but still faster than this Wrangler in this video) 🤔 How fast are those diesel 4x4's these days then? That wrangler doing 8,61 seconds 0-60? That's like watching the paint dry, compared to hot hatches from 10-20 years ago 😅
Now test Jeep Wrangler Ecodiesel vs Gladiator Ecodiesel vs Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. And Ram Ecodiesel vs Ram Hemi.
😳 wow that’s awesome!!! I’d like to see a Gladiator diesel vs a 2 door 2.0🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸
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.
My dad has that ram reble same color and even the rollbar on the back
And then tune the disel. 420 torque to 550 ?
Should’ve brought the Cayenne against that Jeep

Chris Dooley too slow wrangler will smoke it.
Anyone else from Europe looking at this thinking we did all this 15 years ago? What is the obsession about diesels in states all of a sudden?

We've always liked diesel but they have only ever put them in big trucks here for the most part till recent.

@@ljbenziger but I guess from this video, it makes diesel look like magic and it's amazing. In Europe we thought this 15 years ago, now we realise it's a horrible fuel and mostly going back to petrol

@@phillee2171 🤷🏻♂️ can't speak for other people but I'm diesel all the way cause of towing a trailer everyday but not sure I'd own a diesel daily driver.
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.
Whoa Jeep owned that Rebel!
