Good to see this, although they offer so many configurations already, a small diesel would be icing on the cake for some. Wonder what displacement this new diesel will be? What's funny to me is that in most other parts of this world, both midsize and full size 1/2 tons have offered diesels for some time now. We need to catch up.... Cause one day due to fuel and other regulations, big trucks will be a luxury that some of us including myself won't be able to afford... Mid sized trucks will be more popular, including diesel variants. Just my take.

Really, no fullsize as in the US, but the Midsizers are as big as a 2003 F150

Yes they are....

I remember in 2005 when the Tacoma was redesigned as a new truck top to bottom... Many people had a hard time deciding between the Taco and the Tundra....simple reason was the tow ratings were the same...interior space was the same (or pretty close to it)...the V6 wasn't that off on power...and the taco was cheaper.

I would venture to say that 95% of what the Average American truck owner needs could be handled by a "mid size" truck.

There will always be a market for a big HD truck here...but with 75k price tags And the price going up and up...eventually they are going to price themselves out of the market for Joe Average Suburban Dad kind of folk.

I know I can't even begin to think about purchasing a truck with that kind of a price tag.

Thanks!
