This is the same diesel to be released in the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, supposedly a 30mpg hwy rating with 4x2, 28 with 4x4. 7400lb towing capacity too.
If this engine is available in some of the cheaper models I might have to consider a Chrysler product for the first time in my life.

There's still time for Ford or Chevy to offer a V6 TD in a full size SUV. And no, the Jeep GC doesn't count as one of those.
I'd buy a 30+mpg Expedition or Tahoe tomorrow morning.

They have the Durango for that. Its the same platform so they could easily throw the diesel in there also.
