I know I said this before but what is the purpose of this truck with a small diesel engine? Who is the target consumer? Fuel economy? Not when diesel cost more and not to mention maintenance costs more. Less capable and more expensive than Eco boost, I'm assuming less payload too.

Not being sarcastic but who are the manufacturers aiming for with these small diesels?

There is a market for them. I see more and more RAM Ecodiesels every year. They're pulling trailers and boats to boot. So someone's buying them and probably enjoying high mileage, especially on the highway.
