Every morning at 4:00 am, I'm woken by an automotive alarm clock. It's the sound of my neighbor beginning his daily commute, firing-up his 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel Dodge Ram. The oil burner nestling in the pickup's snout embodies all the characteristics that American car buyers of a certain age associate with Rudolph Diesel's powerplant. It's loud, dirty and smelly. Its rattle makes the vehicle vibrate like a cheap motel bed. Is in any wonder Jeep's website doesn't go out of its way to advertise the diesel option in its Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland? Yes and no. |
