The 3.0 diesel 1/2 ton EDs haven’t net taken from 3/4 ton Ram sales. Because most buy the 3/4 ton for its HD suspension and certainly not for an economy based light duty motor. Not that a 8/10 speed 3.0 diesel 1/2 ton isn’t reasonably capable. Unloaded my truck is 5,500ish. But properly loaded It’s handled a 15,800 CVW load near the 15,950 max CVWR of the 4th gen Ram 1500 platform.
Price will have to come in line. The luxo only trims of the Ford & GM 3.0 diesel will only sell for a hot minute then they will have to have something price competitive with the 5th gen 2019 plus Ram ED. Currently you can still get late build brand new 2018 EDs for under 40k out the door.
