Interesting article on light duty diesel Pick ups

Makes some good points.

I read that earlier...As expected, they rated the Dodge above the others...As an aside, yesterday while attending my route I saw an early Ford Ranger with probably the Perkins engine judging from the sound...I haven't seen one in many years, but it's good to know they're still on the road...:rollin:...Ben

That is a good article. I'm still waiting for my Jeep Wrangler Diesel 3.0 to be built. It's the 3rd generation Dodge 3.0 from the Ram they're using. The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 will make 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque.

It'll be the first Jeep I've owned that can do the Pony Express Trail, which is dirt from Fairfield Utah to Wendover Nevada, on one tank of fuel.

Dunno...The last half-ton I remember owning was my 1990 Chevy SS 454...These days I only feel comfortable with my training wheels in the back...:bigboy:...Ben

"...in this one Tradesman crew cab example, there's an astonishing $20,575 taken off the MSRP!"

Wow - and I mean WOW!
