Where is it?
I drove the 2007 Grand Cherokee Limited with the 3.0L diesel and was very impressed with the motor. Powerful and quiet. 20+ MPG. I was less impressed with the fact they only offer it in the limited or above packages. I was also disappointed to learn that it isn't available in the Dakota for 2008.
Why don't they put this same motor in the Dakota? It seems like a perfect match. What is Dodge thinking?

I think that's the problem with all the car makers, at least the American ones, and that's the lack of engine/transmission choices. I can still remember when once upon a time in America, one could go to the dealer and then check off what engine/transmission/gear ratio you wanted....You know, it worked then, why can't it work now???
And yes, we need more diesels. I drove the Jeep Liberty with the CRD and it was great. Next thing you know, it's gone.

only reason the crd in the liberty is gone because volkswagon couldnt meet EPA '07 Diesel emission requirements... and the diesels in the liberty's are volkswagon engines

Interesting that the 4 cylinder, discontinued, CRD in the Liberty put out more torque than my 4.7 Dakota...and with better mileage figures. As for the new 3.0 diesel in the Grand Cherokee, my local dealer has one, but at over $46,000 in price, well, I'd rather have the SRT Grand instead.

I've heard rumors that in 2010 they'll probably have the diesle in the Daks. Like I said, it's only a rumor.

Speaking of rumors, I heard that in 2019 Dodge will no longer exsist, and they will be called Hyde.
