The chains and the injection pump would give me pause too. Plus I'm having a hard time coming up with an advantage with this truck compared to a regular heavy duty model. It isn't any cheaper and barely gets better mileage.
Percentage-wise it might get 15-20% better mileage hwy (according to MT's test), but we'll never really know as there's no real standard for HD trucks.
It's ride *might* be better, but the RAM 2500 sets a pretty high standard there. And the payload is still in question.
As for price, that's so variable depending upon regional discounts that there's no way to tell. I know locally you can't beat Ford's Superduties price-wise because of one high volume dealer. RAMs and GMCs don't come close unless you know somebody.
No idea how this thing will compare price wise. But if it can be had for 4-5 CanGrand less than a similarly equipped Ford F250 diesel, I'm interested.
A lot more info should be coming out soon. Apparently there's an embargo on journalist's reporting stuff until Nov 15th. TFLTruck.com and PickupTrucks.com should have some reviews soon.
