You can get a Liberty CRD (diesel) which gets 28+ mpg for invoice and not have to replace expensive batteries and electronics every couple years.

We looked at the highlander too. Nice vehicle. It is built on the Camry chassis (therefore the easy hybrid changeover), which means for light duty use or commuting it will be fairly bulletproof.

jwngei--

(AV8R.....We bought a new Liberty with V6 in 2002, got best of 23 mpg...We were going to trade for diesel and was told by 2 different dealers that the milage was running 22 or 23, not where they were originally expecting it to be.)

MPG for the v-6 sounds on par. The dealer's comment on the diesel, interpreted by someone who was in the car business: We can't get one, so I will bad mouth it so you buy something else. I know two people who own and drive CRD's: 28-32 mpg on highway, real world. Dealers in central Wisconsin (where I live) can't get them and are coming up with some rather funny stories and excuses.

Good luck with the Trailblazer, they are good machines. (I used to work for a Chevy dealer) If you got the six, keep an eye on rough running or oil consumption. There were issues with the #5 sleeve comming loose.

The 3 dealers I've tried to do business with were in Wausau, Marshfield and Stevens Point. I drove one of the CRD's from a dealer in Eau Claire, which is also where the two "acquaintances" I know got theirs from. This dealer also has the Dodge brand, so they know the value of the diesel customers (we're a strange lot. ;P).

Sorry about the issues with the Trailblazer, what kind of tranny trouble?
