All had pros and cons but I think the Subie is somewhat better than the MDX.

ORLY! And it's got 19 cup holders. CPO Cayenne is very tempting. Does the diesel need the horse piss, I mean blue tech fluid?

Yes, all V6 VW/Audi/Porsche TDI’s need it.

Huh? Pllease explain for those of us who are uninformed. Pray tell what is this horse piss biz all about?

Dealer told me it has to be replenished at 5,000 mile intervals.

Part of the emission fix on my V6 TDI Touareg is that VW supplies free ”AdBlue” refills.
They are good to their word as I pulled into the dealer several months ago and there was no issues, they just refilled it at my request and sent me on my way.

Urea is a major component of fertilizer and is a common industrial chemical. It’s a simple molecule and cheap to synthesize. They don’t get it from goats.

In order to meet Tier 4 emission requirements vessels with the new Tier 4 compliant engines must carry urea. For tugs that equates to 5-6% of fuel capacity. That sometimes makes it hard to refit a vessel with new engines because tugs are nearly all fuel tank. There are one or two engine manufacturers who meet the requirements without urea. GE engines do it with non-Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalytic converters.

I'm looking at several vehicles, with a preference for the M35 2.5t over the 5t. I also have a lead on 4 HMMWV's with legal, clear, on-road titles.
I've driven and done some maintenance on all of these vehicles. I'm aware of what I'm getting into.
I'll bet Larry is glad we're not neighbors.

Wasn't implying you hadn't done your research - merely to point out it looks like fun to have truck that needs a crane for it's spare. The original single circuit brake system seemed a bit scary.
