I have heard the three main reasons that RAM went in-house instead of with the Cummins were price delta between the two products, the Cummins is significantly heavier, and the EcoDiesel will have a significant higher MPG rating.
Now, I'm not going to say the rumors are gospel like our Fishing friend would, but it seems to make sense. We will see shortly.
And, as far as a huge number of people buying the truck just for the "C" on the side, that will be interesting to see. I am not convinced that the "C" will equate to sales of a Japanese truck.
Either way, more options will be better for the consumer, and push everyone that makes a 1500 truck to improve.
