Lubehead, very cogent commentary in your post.

As I occasionally daydream about 'what SUV-like' car to replace our '01 3.0 X with, the diesel version crosses my mind: we don't tow, but we keep cars a long time and my daydreaming thinking was this would be a 'last replacement' for our '01, (that really doesn't need 'replacing' soon, imo).

But it is posts like yours and others that suggest the diesel option is not a superior real advantage, at least in terms of how we use our car(s), and the extended future time repairs remain a real concern.

Curious to read your ultimate decision and other commentary in your thread.
GL, mD
