That is a very nice truck. They have to turn up the wick to compete with Ford.

It's the only light duty truck in America to offer a small displacement diesel option. I think it's a smart move. Definitely will help them against Ford for sure.

Im curious to see how the numbers will compare to what the eco-boost puts down.

The Eco Boost will probably have more horsepower but I'd imagine the Diesel would have a lot of torque. Who knows maybe it'll be pretty close I'm very interested to see what it pans out to be as well.

Right but I imagine it was probably pretty old right? I don't think any modern light duty 1500's have had a diesel available for quite some time. It definitely currently will be the only light duty truck with a diesel option at least.

Yeah, mids 90's I think. Wonder why they didn't continue doing it then?

Back then there really wasn't a market for them. Fuel wasn't an issue and people preferred getting either a heavy duty diesel or a normal light duty gas truck I guess. Times are a changin'.

This is when I'm happy my girlfriend is the finance manager for a dealer that sells Dodge's. I'll definitely check that out, as I'm already tired of my '12.

I'm glad to hear that a light duty is coming out with a diesel. I would love to get a diesel bit have no use for a 2500 and above. I think the 1500 is getting a v6 vitto motori engine, although I don't know why they didn't go with a small Cummins.
