The Ram Eco-Diesel may not pull the RV haulers away from GM and Ford 1500 buyers. But it sure will take some of their none RVer sales. If you are only looking to pick up the odd items at the lumber yard or tow a small RV, then the reported 19 MPG towing 7000# can't be beat!
If the 5.0 Cummins used in the late 2015? Nissan and Toyota is only going in a 1500 or 1/2 ton truck that will be a waste. My bet is, they are getting into the 2500 market. If true, then ALL of the big three had better pull their collective heads out of their butt's and start making a diesel that gets better mileage then the currant crop they are selling now!

I've been saying this about the 5.0 Cummins. It would be a waste just to put it into a regular half-ton. It should go into a heavy-half or 2500 series truck. If I had this engine like Nissan an Toyota do now, I'd definitely be placing it in a 3/4 version of the Titan and Tundra. That would definitely steal some customers over as I'm sure there are many who need a 3/4 ton with the power and efficiency of a diesel but somewhere between the 3.0 and a 6.7 but don't want or need a gasser.
