Over 3L is a very marginal market of expensive toys.
It suits us, why wouldn't it suit Americans

This is where more information is needed by AaronMiller. People like myself that need to pull a 5,000lbs trailer could not afford the cost of a diesel engine that is offered here. I have less than $1,500 invested into my tahoe and have the luxuary of a 4x4 for the snow and rated 8,000lbs towing.
Mid size diesels are few and far between and I can hardly recall one. If by some stroke of incredible luck I did, the price will certainly be a premium compared to the gas version. Does anyone know of a 6cyl diesel available for a pickup in North America? I don't think the Inline cummins turbo 6 counts as a mid size diesel 5.9L and up only other one that comes to mind was the Jeep cherokee 3.0 turbo diesel but price + economy it gets doesn't make sense
