The 4.0 V6 in today's Runner is surely more durable than a 2.2-liter 4 cylinder turbo making the same power, wouldn't you think?

My current Chevy work truck is at 165k miles with a turbo diesel and no issues with the turbo system. My last Chevy work truck had 250k miles with a turbo diesel and no issues. In fact ive seen over a million miles pulling heavy trailers across the country from sea level to 10k feet and have never had any issues with any components pertaining to the turbo system. That's not to say it never happens, I've seen plenty of trucks on the side of the road and I'm sure some of those are blown turbos, but I've never personally experienced it.
Personally, I'd take one of those baby Duramax 3.0 over this 4.0L any day
