The diesel has to be the best choice for us off-roading folks in my opinion. However, European cities are starting to ban due to the higher pollution rates. Too bad.

It really does depend. It is awesome for torque, meaning rock crawling and slow going is where it shines. Out here in the Northeast, we get a lot of the sloppy stuff, where horsepower is the way to keep the wheels throwing the mud out of the lugs to get you through. NOT my forte mind you, just the reasoning as to why it depends on what kind of offroading you find you will most need.
That said, I agree, it's too bad they can't find a way to make them more eco friendly.

I just read this and thought it might be interesting to the group.

I read this the other day. My guess is this will end all diesels in the US except for trucks.

Autoweek is reporting that it affects cars only and the SUV and Jeep will keep the diesel http://autoweek.com/article/diesel/fiat-chrysler-ditch-diesel-2022-report-says

My cousin was telling me about this the other day but he said that the trucking companies and equipment operators are going to be effected too.

I doubt that’ll happen, with the DPF/SCR systems on big rigs the air coming into the engine is dirtier than the exhaust coming out of em
