Amen. I cannot come up with a good reason as to why we don't have turbo diesels available as an option in most models and sizes of vehicles produced domestically yet outside of environmental reasons. Personally, I think the environmental impact is worth it. I don't know if there's a fiscal reason from manufacturers or oil companies but I can't imagine that there would be. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
I really want a factory 1/2 ton AND Suburban diesel.
