... I have owned in 60+ years on this blue marble!
Just my opinion and who knows how it will be in a month or a year from now, but I think the diesel is worth having. I really like mine so far. No apparent downsides. High efficiency and, at least subjectively, better real world driveability than gas because of all the low rpm leverage, 460lbs/ft @1,500rpm. It definitely sounds like a diesel - something I like. IMO, the diesel sound is fitting for something this big. At just 700 miles, my real world milage in this 4WD without trying to light foot it is the same as EPA, 20/26. I was able to get 29.7mpg over 160 miles keeping it avg 70mph on the highway, but on the way back at 80mph non-aggressive driving I got 26.4mpg. City driving in Boston in moderate to heavy rush hour traffic is actually 20mpg with auto stop-start off. This is my first SUV, but I think that would be good for a V6 sedan. It's the same that I got with my 2015 Impala V6.Was at a dealer tonight, said the same thing about the diesel in 6 weeks. At least that was his opinion
That’s really impressive, I’m getting torn potentially waiting 6 weeks to order the truck I’m looking for or just order now with the gas engineJust my opinion and who knows how it will be in a month or a year from now, but I think the diesel is worth having.

Diesel for sureThat’s really impressive, I’m getting torn potentially waiting 6 weeks to order the truck I’m looking for or just order now with the gas engine
I’m also wondering what has better resale value in 5 year, diesel or gas engine?
