Jeep is preparing, largely for climate reasons, to drop the EcoDiesel-powered Gladiator pickup from its model lineup, but plans to give it a fitting farewell. To be built in a run of 1,000 units, Jeep will produce the Gladiator Rubicon FarOut edition, which is clearly made for rock climbing: Dana 44 axles will be installed at both ends of the Jeep, along with a 3.73 axle ratio and a two-speed Rock-Trac transfer case that has an uncommonly low 4.0:1 low-speed gear ratio.
Based on the Gladiator Rubicon, the FarOut edition will add specific graphics, tailgate badging, 17-inch polished-black aluminum wheels and 33-inch mudder tires, along with a stout steel front bumper. Deliveries are set to begin in the third quarter of 2023. Other variations of the Gladiator will continue to offer the 3.6-liter gasoline Pentastar V-6 with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.

Well, I never liked diesel engines, other than for big trucks and boats.
