The Jeep Liberty is available in diesel. Have you considered a "green" vehicle? I've heard there were tax credits for them too which might make them viable.

I read that about the Liberty, but they said it had great torque though. Shoot my Cummins Ram can get 27mpg at 45 (12.4 pulling itself and 15,000lb. trailer through the mountains), but new it's was in the mid $40's too.
I worked for a company that was making car-length composite battery trays for a consortiom of GM, Ford and Chrysler. The ones we were making I thought were for a Ranger derivative as I used to see many of them running around Dearborn, MI.---whether it went to production remains to be seen. Dodge is suppose to have a dual fuel truck out (what exactly that entails not sure). You might be able to get a worktruck trim level (stripped down) truck with a diesel. Or buy a used one. There's also propane conversions too for gassers, and propane injection for diesels.

I've got the '03 Ram with the H.O. Cummins, 4x, and quad cab with "normal" non-suicide doors. I've slept in the rear seat lying down in a fetal position when I had to.
I looked at the the Mega cab---oh--my--gawd---the space is unbelievable! The seats fold down into a bed! And there is storage space BEHIND and UNDER the seats too!
I haven't had one probelm with mine in 3-and-a-half years enginewise. The front suspension, well that's a different story. I had a snow plow and that chewed up about $3000 in warranty work on front rotors, bearings, tie rod ends and upper and lower ball joints. Yikes! But now that I'm a redneck...er..."rankee" (copyright) (that's one part redneck, 10 parts yankee) and sold the plow--I should get a lot of wear out of her now.
Also, if you plan on driving/buying an '02 and later 4x Ram look for a loose or worn out track bar. About $120 (used to be $400)---it keeps th chassis in line with the front axle, and when loose the truck will wander all over the road. I'd saty away from any lifted 4x too as the lift usually makes the track bar wear out faster, unless it was done properly. Some Jeeps use the same set up, and some Jeep Cherokees have one in front and back.
