Based on my experience owning a X164 diesel for five years, it's not surprising the warranty would be more. There were many issues that showed up once my GL had more than 50k miles on it that were exclusive to the diesel engine and emissions system. I wouldn't think of owning one out of warranty.

I'm not surprised the diesel warranty is higher. Looking at forums it was clear that a large number of the power train issues being posted were specific to the diesel.

The diesel will get better mileage but the savings will be far offset by the much higher maintenance costs. The 350 has some seriously expensive problems that the gas versions do not have. Unless you tow, there is no way I would by the 350.
