That would help power, but make the mileage worse. V6 just felt unrefined and old.

I'm considering buying a Porsche Cayenne diesel for general farm duties. I may be doing it wrong.

Farm duties? Interesting choice. I was unaware they made a diesel.

Yep, same 3.0 V6 TDi as Audi Q7s and VW Touaregs. The model I'm looking at (957) is 240hp and 406 of your American torques, would rather get a Touareg but they're hard to find with a rear diff lock and diesel. Due to every accountant and business manager in the cities wanting to own a truck it's far cheaper to buy used Euro SUVs here. We bought our late model Q7 for about the same as we would have paid for a similar-year Ford Ranger, and it's much quicker, safer, more comfortable, has a higher GCM rating, and can tow just as much.

A self driving car wonder if they will come out with a Pete Davidson Edition.
