All are still running gas engines when their truck counterparts have diesel engines. Ford's Excursion stopped production I think around 2005. It was the largetst diesel SUV on the market. We also haven't seen a diesel Suburban for years.

While I think it would be great if Nissan did, I really don't see it happening.
i know but there is always hope that they might. either way as long as the specs on the production model are good i think i know what i will be looking to get.

What I said was you can't compare a Corolla and a Titan, simply based on the capabilities of either vehicle. Same reason I drive a pathy, it does what I need it to do. A good balance of space, towing capacity, and all the other things I like about Japanese designed vehicles.

But it is based on the needs of the individual driver. I wholeheartedly agree that if a corolla gets it done for you, by all means go buy one.

And if they put this diesel powerplant into an Armada, I will buy one in about 5 seconds!
