Anyone that thinks that V-8 Cummins is going in to a 1500 might want to rethink that opinion. Think about it, with the weight of a V-8 cast iron block they will have less payload then the Ram! Then add the fact that it is rated at 300HP and 500-600 torque. That's a lot of engine for a 1500 truck.

There is a reason Ram went with the in house VM. One is well it's in house doh, two is it's an all aluminum V-6 engine. So it won't effect the payload unlike the V-8 Cummins. NOTE, I'm not dissing the Cummins, so don't even go there.

Nope I'll stand by my opinion, that both Nissan and Toyota are getting into the HD market, or at lest are coming out with a 2500 truck. They may not build a 3500 right out of the box but they are IMO going to do a 2500.

The Japanese are not known for their willingness to change, they do baby steps and test the water first. To bad they didn't fallow that trait on December 7, 1941.
