i'll be interested to see various cab/bed and trim level combinations with the diesel and what the productions version of the truck's MPG performance will be - this is a pre-production model with a lot of hard test miles on it in the heaviest combination that the truck can be had with so let's not take this as gospel for the new diesel offering quite yet.

It did pretty decent and while I think there's some room for improvement its in the same ballpark as the Ram ED.

My thoughts as well. I like seeing these new offerings cause not everyone is going to need a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. A lot of people live in suburbia and don't need anything more then just this. Occasionally towing, but most of Home Depot or Lowes runs. I use a 3/4 ton because I need it, but most folks just don't. And the newer generation is not wanting large vehicles so I see the market growing in the 1/2 ton or even mid sized trucks. There's nothing wrong with a 1/2 ton diesel doing its Job. I think everyone knows it won't pull like a larger diesel... and that's fine I don't think most care. I really think give it a few years and these smaller diesels will be more popular then most think. That's my take.
