Diesel Fun

[dorin48]

I like diesels but not 3/4, or 1 ton trucks and I dont trust VW. I really dont like the huge engine sizes in the trucks either. So after mutch waiting I finally get a chance to purchase a 1/2 ton truck with a 4cyl diesel for around $20k (price is only speculation) It has a six speed auto and 4 wheel drive standard current engine specs are = 2.2L common rail diesel @ 180hp & 300ftlbs. Those are gonna change before the release though.

Heres my new love child...

The other important thing about this is that this is India's first penetration into the US auto market. Also our local Allen Vigil Ford has purchased exclusive distribution rights in the US. 205 other dealers are on board East of the Mississippi. The company is called Mahindra and is already present in the US for tractor sales (they make up 1/4 of the tractor sales in the US) Not to mention the particular vehicle has won many awards over the years. Expected release here is late 08' early 09'.

Did i mention a fully boxed frame? Suck on that ford!..and 32-35~mpg!

But naturally the big three gotta try too so they will have "smaller" v8 diesels in their 1/2 series for 09'. So far GM has announced a 4.5L v8 at about 312hp and 520ftlbs.

I agree the special edition ones on the main page are flamboyant but i want

2 door work horse version.

^^^ I like the Duramax, and the Cummins but they are just too much engine for me (i dont plan on towing more than 6000lbs max) i want a smaller one and since Dodge doesnt want to put the old 4BT bread truck diesel into a mid-size i got one option comming to me.
