Dodge to offer 1/2 ton diesel truck
« on: February 14, 2013, 11:16:44 AM »
http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2013/02/14/chrysler-to-offer-ram-1500-diesel-this-year/

Chrysler Group LLC’s Ram truck division said it will begin selling a version of its Ram 1500 pickup with a diesel engine – a feature rival truck makers offer only in commercial-oriented heavy-duty models, or don’t offer at all.

The coming truck, which will arrive in the third quarter of this year as a 2014 model, will have a 3.0-liter V6 called the EcoDiesel, and an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Chrysler said it expects this powertrain combination to give the vehicle best-in-class fuel economy.

This is bad news!

This will really tempt me to buy a new truck. Problem is I can't afford it! And don't want to go into more debt.

This is going to be really hard on me. :'(

Neat as in a half ton diesel truck.

Neat as in it makes me wonder what else they're going to put a diesel into. I know the grand Cherokee will again.

Wrangler?

Hey Jack, seeing how you might have some inside info, any word on pricing?
I've been looking at trucks for a couple of weeks, might have to hold off.

Dunno. I just saw it on Facebook. I'm due for a new truck too. This changes my plan too potentially.
