I have a 2006 4.4 and a 2007 4.8 and would happily sell my 4.4 for the soon to be released 3.0D. Just wondering if any of our European friends can comment on the power / weight versus say the 3.0 gasoline engine nad then obviously torque which is going to be HUGE versus the 4.4.
Any thoughts from the US also happily entertained.
TIA...

Yes.. the torque is what is appealing to me too. So I am thinking that as soon as my dealer gets their butt in gear I will do the swap.. 4.4 for the 3.0D ..

I dont know on the price point but I believe the combined MPG of the diesel is going to be around 18-19. Our 2008 4.8 is getting about 12.5 MPG so if the price of entry were equal between the cars the only other variable is the cost of fuel. Where I am diesel is more expensive than premium gas- I just dont remember by how much.
