This sure makes me glad I still have my '04.5 2500 CTD and use it as a DD mostly and as a TV for my 5er.
That's about the only complaint I have right now with the Eco... I've had it almost a year and put 24k miles on it in that time. My lifetime average MPG is just under 16 MPG (I'm never in the 55 MPH sweet spot). 90% of the time it is in DD mode, which has caused me to ponder a second car for the brunt of that duty as I put about $400/mo of fuel in right now.- That's about the only complaint I have right now with the Eco...

If it has the proper GVWR, that diesel maybe a perfect choice for those of us with smaller 5ers
Thats what I was originally hoping for, but it doesn't seem like they increased payload at all, so VERY doubtful to tow a fiver. This seems like a GREAT engine for the average half ton user. Great mileage, can go to the home improvement store, can pull an average travel trailer. While its not what I would have hoped for (maybe the diesel Titan will have 2000+ lbs payload), it sure seems like a great idea and I am interested to see it in action.- If it has the proper GVWR, that diesel maybe a perfect choice for those of us with smaller 5ers
