Having been driving a MB Sprinter for the last year+, these smaller diesels frankly have some umph to them. with numbers in the 200/400 range, which 10 yrs ago were BIG POWER specs, they will do quite well in SW trucks, all the way up to 10-11K gvwr, and into the mid 15-16K gcwr range. Yeah a bit slower than the 300/600 diesel like my 05 dmax, nor as good as todays 400/800 motors, but they will not be too shabby, as noted by many that have some of todays gas rigs, that have gone from diesel back to gas and noted that they are doing better than diesels of old etc. Bring on the multiple choice of engines as we had in the past, not the one gas/one diesel option. Heck, I'd be happy with a 250-500 6.6 dmax in my truck with the current 6 sp ally, if i could get 4.10 gears, what a combo for how I drive!
