We're thinking of replacing the 97 'burb 6.5 with an Excursion for the interior space benefit. No plans to tow. We had a full size van but SUVs are easier to park and oddly feel less like trucks on the road.

Not sure if there is.

So why not get the gas version? You will pay a premium for diesel and if you are not towing, what is the point?
