I believe the Fred is a 300 hp 5.9L front end diesel. It would have less performance on hills than the gas versions. If you can get a good price on it and don't plan on a lot of trips out west it may be fine. I would test drive the Fred and each gas version first to see if the engine noise is bearable.

The one I'm looking at is a 6.7. Our V10 pulls the PT Cruiser fine until it gets on a hill. Then it feels much slower. Especially the one time we moved about 100 miles from Crossville, TN to our campground in the Smokies with a full helping of water.
