Thanks for the update, Chris. I knew that you could but I have to admit I am a bit surprised that they are taking that route. It makes you wonder what is in store for the current DMax. It really doesn't make a lot of sense to have two engines with the same numbers unless one is a lighter duty verion. I know that I have seen with some manufacturers (sorry, I don't remember whiich ones I was looking at) that raised the rpm at which their smaller diesels were generating their power to around 4000 rpm and sometimes higher. But that would drive the torque numbers down for a given HP. If this new V6 is to have the same torque numbers as the V8, then the rpm numbers will match as well. If true, this will be interesting to watch.
