End of the diesel light truck

[Shield Arc]

I've really got the hots for the upcoming Cummins/Aisin combo.

What do you mean upcoming? I've had mine since February 2007. 495-HP, 1102 Ft-Lb torque, and 23-mpg.:cool2:

I don't think there were enough brains in the crowd to stage anything

I'm pretty sure that is a typical Friday night in "flyover country"... :laughing:

Anyone catch the fact the chevy was a gaser... and the dodge was clearly tuned?

Sorry, gas vs diesel is a no brainer. Especially when the diesel pre-spooled..

Just a little side not about Chevy versus dodge. Look up the weights of the vehicle. Dodge is the heaviest of the big three diesel trucks. Weight equals traction and traction creates momentum.

Holy crap, people on the internet blow everything out of proportion... :duh:

Ford is releasing their second powerstroke - a 5 cylinder diesel, in the full size transit connect van. Also rumored we will see an F150 with it, since in Europe the engine gets 36mpg in the transit connect. It would help Ford a lot with their CAFE standards. Dodge/Chrysler group is releasing the 3.0L diesel in the Jeep Grand Cherokee this year - Rumor is it will be in the Jeep wrangler and dodge 1500 shortly after. Mazada's Skyactiv diesel is out, let alone all the euro diesels that have been out for a while.

The 3.2 inline 5 diesel in the European Transit has been around for 2 or 3 years, but not by any chance its getting 33 mpg... 20mpg is already a good average for an empty construction workers van at speeds below 50mph.

Ford is following Mercedes/Dodges lead, offering the European Sprinter in America. Perhaps Nissan will offer the Renault Master (rebadged as Nissan Interstar in Europe) in America, and VW the Crafter.. ??
