Glad to see someone step up and offer this in North America! Hopefully by the time I need or replace my truck they are more affordable

Lots of diesel powered vehicles in Europe. They haven't met US emissions standards so they haven't brought any here yet.

Don't think there's been any half ton trucks over there though. I know wranglers, pt cruisers and grand Cherokees. Probably more from Chrysler but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

There are diesel Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and other makes dominating the truck and SUV market in New Zealand and Australia. They get 24-32 mpg with 4 doors, hopefully the dodge will compete with that?

I doubt it. Its also not a fair comparison though with all the emissions stuff we have here.

Ford is claiming up to 24 mpg with their new eco gas engine in their f150. A diesel should be able to do better I would think.  :dunno:

Wonder how this 3.0l will compare to the other Daimler 3.0...??  This will be neat... Looking forward to it.

It should be a lot better. Supposed to have a decent amount more torque than the old 3.0 diesels.

I'm sorry it's 22 mpg highway...

Thing about the ecoboost from what I've heard is if you put your foot into it, the mpg's go away real quick. Not unlike anything else.  I assume they'll make 22, maybe 24. They'll advertise the mpg's  from the lightest 2wd truck they will put that engine in. We'll see.

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. :'(

Rigth there with ya bobcat!

Ever since DPF and all the other emissions crap, diesels don't get that mileage anymore. Supposed to better with the big dodges in the '13's now too.
