Firecracker Red Clearcoat 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Diesel 4WD
The 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Diesel 4WD (EcoDiesel) offers a number of benefitsespecially for use around Denvers mountainous terrain and variable Colorado weather.
Key Benefits (Backed by Reviews & Real-World Use)
Massive Low End Torque for Off-Road Dominance
The 3.0L EcoDiesel delivers 442lbft of torque at just ~1,400rpm, significantly more than the gas V6, and available at extremely low RPMs
In Rubicon trim, paired with the RockTrac 4.0:1 transfer case, locking front/rear differentials, and disconnecting sway bar, this torque enables controlled, smooth crawling over steep or rocky terrain precisely what Colorado trails demand
Enhanced Fuel Economy and Range
EPA ratings: 21mpg city / 27mpg highway / 24mpg combined for the Rubicon compare that to 19 city / 22 highway / 19 combined for the gas model
Thanks to better efficiency and despite a smaller fuel tank, the diesel Gladiator achieves nearly 500 miles per tank ideal for long drives from Denver to mountain or desert trails.
Superior Controlled Driving on Inclines and Descents
Diesel engines provide engine braking when descending steep grades, easing strain on brakes beneficial in the Rockies .
On offroad trails, low-RPM torque lets the truck literally inch across rocky surfaces without revving confidence-inspiring usage for Denver area trail systems .
Capability Retained in Rubicon Package
While diesel adds ~400lb to curb weight, Rubicon-level features like Fox shocks, Dana 44 axles with 3.73 gearing, locking diffs and skid plates remain intact .
Payload on the diesel Rubicon is about 1,160lb, slightly higher than the gas version due to different axle gearing .
Relevance to Denver / Colorado Driving
Altitude & hills: Turbo-diesel engines thrive at elevation; torque delivery is less sensitive to thin air than gas engines. This makes them ideal for climbs and grades common in Colorado.
Road trips & trails: High mpg and long range reduce fuel stops heading to Moab, Rockies, or national parks.
Off-road confidence: Low-speed control and engine braking help tackle alpine passes and mountain descents with greater safety and ease.
If you're in the Denver/Colorado region and plan to do regular off-roading, mountain travel, or long-distance drivesespecially with elevation changesthe 2021 Gladiator Rubicon Diesel is a compelling option. Youll benefit from massive torque, controlled off-road performance, excellent fuel economy, and strong downhill engine braking.
