Your other Diesel?

Well...just wondering if you were to buy another diesel(other than a Ford)....what would it be and why?

My choice......look at the #'s in the specs
2008 Touareg 2 V10 TDI - AutoWeek Magazine

would never be able to afford it though

OHHH that's sweet!
That turbo is super-responsive, so it'll be perfect for wheeling.
and, talk about torque! Is the Yota manual or Auto?

Its a manual...dual t-cases with 2.28 to 1 low in the front case and 4.7 to 1 in the rear.....has 5.29's in the axles...better pic of it(my old '02 V10 in the background .....since this is a Ford forum)

I don't own a diesel right now but if it had to be something other than Ford I would go with a Cummins.

Or This!!!

My other diesel- well this is the 94.5-97 forum, so I have an 02 powerstroke as well. I also have an MT160D with front wheel assist and a mitsubishi diesel engine. An 1800 lb tractor that does twice the work of most trucks.
