We have run the expedition pretty hard and it lasted us 130K with minimal probrlems and its still going.
But sometime by the end of the year we are going to upgrade to a new one. I VW makes a diesel SUV (toureg2 or something) but it looked a tad too small. She doesnt like the liberties.

so who else makes one. I know AUDI makes one she really likes and has the same motor as the VW, anyone else make one?

 

Honda Pilot looks like a good choice in SUV??

 

My sister in law just got a fully loaded GMC Acadia.. man that thing is VERY nice.. and fairly dang quick for a 6 banger..

 

diesel SUV

other than the excursion, the Tourag and that Audi i'm not sure...... what about a 4bt swap into the expedition?

 

ha ha, she wouldnt go for that.

yeah I want a diesel SUV

 

there might be a few more out by the end of this year

 

yeah I noticed all companies are talking diesel suvs. The thing is we arent thniking of getting one until the end of next year but want to check them out and such. so we might swing a 2010

 

i have seen one of those vw suv's up close, a customer had one. it was SWEET. i am not into vw's at all, but that thing was nice. he said it had plenty of power and plenty of room. he pulled a nice camper with it too. wouldn't tell me the price, but said he could have put a MUCH bigger garage up if he didn't buy that.

 

yeah they are pricey

 

the V-10 touraeg eat tires pretty good. no idea why though. and yeah new there are about 60 grand so to get a used one is about high 30's for a one with about 50000 to 80000 miles
