OP, if you are looking for a diesel in a big family hauler like that, GM will be putting the 3.0L diesel in the 2021 Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon. It will make about 266hp/477lb-ft which compares to the 250hp/505lb-ft the 7.3L had with an auto in 2001. Although the new GM will have a 10-speed which will make a huge difference towing versus the 4-speed in the Excursion.
Main drawback of the GM is that it will likely cost more than twice as much as that Excursion and it will have lower payload/tow ratings. I believe the tow rating is only 8,300 lbs while the Excursion was over 11k. It would be nice if they would make it available with a 2500 frame/suspension.
