I'm considering a few options when it comes to my daily driver. I'm reconsidering how wise it was to buy the Subaru Outback I have now. With full time AWD and my driving style while I'm in it, I'm consistently getting 19-20 mpg per tank. Plus, it isn't an Explorer.
So here's my idea:
Buy an X1 2WD Explorer sport. Take out the V6 and swap in a 4 cyl diesel and a 5 speed manual. Then, work on the aerodynamics of the truck (front airdam, side skirts, rear diffuser, etc.) and lighten it up as much as possible. So my question is what diesel motor should I look into? I'd want to get maximum MPGs from that truck.
