Diesel Titan Info

Another question I have is projected mpg in the low 20's going to be enough incentive to pass over 250/2500 class from the big three?
I don't think it will be with anyone that is good at math. The Ram diesel wont pencil out for most people at 28 mpg. Personally I think these .5 ton pickups need to be mid 30 mpg to make sense to the checkbook. However we all know that truck purchases are also based on want and emotion. People will buy them if that's what they really want. The good news is the Cummins name will sell some Nissans, just like it did for Dodge for years. Bad news is I don't think it will see widespread appeal in a half ton. If they were to offer a 2500 and 3500 with more payload capacity at this power level, that might find a niche that would be successful if the trucks are considerably cheaper than the big three. Like mentioned, there are many people that don't need 850 foot pounds, or a $65K price tag. However 550 foot/pounds in .5 ton, with low twenties mpg, limited payload, just does not sound like a winning combo to me.
