Yes, for those, like me, who are old enough to clearly remember the soot-belching, noise-clattering, hard-to-start automotive diesels of the 70s and 80s (and the extreme unreliability of some of them), there's just no comparison between those days and the Bluetecs and VW/Audi TDIs of today. Part of it, of course, is that we also have much better (albeit more expensive) diesel-fuel than back then, too.
With 400+ TQ bluetec ML makes an excellent towing vehicle.
Only reason we went with gasoline model was lack of spare tire with bletec model. I think new ML has spare tire am I correct?
