I love diesels.

In the US market.. what diesels are avail for purchase new in 2004.

All I can find is a Ford Excursion which is nice vehicle, but a pinch
large for my needs. Something Blazer/Explorer/4-runner size desired.

Another new US diesel was that Dodge Sprinter: ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly!
I think the designer is still in therapy w/ Dr. Melfi.

While aren't diesels available more in the US?

I once had a 6.2 D Chevy Blazer... it treated me well. I should have
kept it.
