If they put it in the current 1/2 ton it will be useless

We're not seeing new half ton trucks powered by Diesel engines to satisfy heavy duty wishes, rather it's meeting regulatory demands for fuel mileage. Demands that today's gas powered engines and steel body trucks cannot comply with. Government says better fuel economy, we customers say keep prices reasonable. Tall order, one which will be met only with existing technologies, like small Diesel engines and aluminum structures. It will, however, provide interesting comments from the yesterday worshippers who lack the ability to appreciate necessary change.

Yes, Yes AND YES!! I currently drive a 03 Tundra. Would buy a new one if it was in a 3/4 ton or better configuation, but it won't be. I need a TV with more payload, and diesel or not, this will never pull a 5th wheel - although I actually saw a Tundra doing just that on I95 heading north- with its nose in the air.

Just like the new Ram 1500 with the diesel, its a stunt to get a PU with th "best in class" mileage.

Or meet CAFE standards. Pretty expensive stunt.
