Arguably the diesel would be a better choice in off road situations, though I doubt I'll have an opportunity to verify that firsthand.
Doesn't the Hemi make enough torque to tow? Yea I know its fuel economy is probably only 16-18 MPG highway but the Hemi is like what a $1000-$1200 premium? The Diesel must cost a few thousand more than the Hemi. I know a few hardcore fans will probably buy the Diesel, but the majority will buy a gas powered Cherokee. Remember the Jeep Liberty CRD? I only ever seen it once.
