Ram 1/2 ton Diesel Available in 2014

[msbaugh]

Anybody posted on this yet?  Pretty stinking awesome if you ask me... I would be the sucker to give in and trade my daily driver for one. 
Too bad it's not a cummins    But hey, a 3.0 v6 with over 400 torque and 30 mpg highway seems pretty cool. I wonder if it would be able to comfortably tow a trailer and my challenger.

It would have to get significantly better fuel economy than the gas burners for me to be interested.  Diesel cost ~20% more around here.  And, on top of that, a manual version isn't mentioned.

 I wish they would make something like the Chevy Suburban. I don't understand why they don't ?  The tooling to add to a long  box ram pickup wouldn't be that expensive! That combined with a nice diesel  would be a great seller for Dodge I would think? Lots of travel trailers with family's need towing!

What will Banks offer for the new model/engine could be interesting.

Ya with 3 boys the extra 2 rows of seats are nice( and necessary for us) , add in the 4wd and towing capabilities, it's the vehicle for our family. Just wish Dodge would build one!

How bout the Aspen Brad. I think they still make that. It's like an oversized Durango.

I heard Dodge was coming out with a 1/2 ton deisel ,, Cummins has a smaller engine available as well , someone will be using that I am sure . I agree with Brad , with my business a deisel Suburban would be perfect , Merc has a small diesel minivan here with std trans but it is too small , I am looking at a Sprinter right now . weird that it only gets 30 MPG , my 3/4 ton Cummins almost gets that now , it should be possible to get cloer to 40 with an efficient diesel in it . Deisel is Cheaper here & was in Canada too when I left , no reason I can understand why it would be higher when it was 1/2 the cost not long ago but even with the higher cost , you get better fuel milage & the engine can last 2-3x as long .

Not enough towing capacity and too small inside.
