good engine tranny 4wd SUV
 

hi all,
im interested in purchasing a Terracan Crd 2.9 diesel but havnt found one yet, is this a good engine?
i want to tow a lite (500kg) alloy boat 20ks to ramp
Im not set on that model
and open to ideas for a 4wd diesel,
so I searched and found the Santa Fe 2188cc in our ebay version for our country
and the first three had engine problems, blown head gasket, engine knocking, broken crank.
is this a engine that needs higher service intervals or bad luck ?

is there any other 4wd diesels with good engine tranny combo ?

cheers
Brett
