If this has already been asked please point me to the thread. What's the difference between the 8-Speed Automatic 850RE transmission and the 8-Speed Automatic transmission? I'm in the market for a new jeep rubicon and found a good deal on a new 2019 but it only has the 8-Speed Automatic transmission.


Thanks in advance

I believe one is only for diesel and the other one is gas

This is my understanding as well. If you play around on the builder site, and switch engines or transmissions, it will force you to make certain changes. I can only seem to get the '8- Speed Automatic Transmission' with the diesel engine.

Thanks, something has to be different because there is a $750 price difference in the two.
