I'm not in the market for one, but I certainly find the cool technology being produced by all the OEM's these days very interesting to watch.

Granted, the Canyon diesel may be too much of a compromise for many on RV.NET. But, for the average buyer out there (to include many small businesses), the Canyon diesel could potentially be a double or triple, if not a home-run.
Gonna be interesting to see how much the Canyon eats into Taco sales.
The Taco V6 2WD gasser has an EPA rating of 19/24. The Taco 4-banger, 19/23. The Canyon diesel, 22/31.
The Taco V6 has 278 HP and 265 lb. ft. of torque. The Canyon diesel, 181 HP, 369 lb. ft. For those contemplating a 5000 lb. tow, I believe the Canyon diesel would provide a much more civilized, economical tow experience vs. the Taco V6.
Time will tell.
