Ecodiesel orders

Funny how the detractors keep holding on to their hope that this will fail. Not enough payload, too much $$$, rated MPG is going to be low, diesel fuel is too expensive, not enough HP, payload is too low, (I am sure I am missing some, it & TP help me out), now the orders won't continue, and it's not consumers, only dealers ordering.

I look forward to your continued back pedals. This truck is going to be a winner. Nissan, Toyota and Chevy have already realized this as evidence by their entry into this or the compact truck market.

Dodge continues to be the one leading the way for innovation. Glad someone is pushing the envelope.

Not sure I read anyone wished this truck would fail, but having said that the truck does have some major roadblocks (i.e. ROI, Performance, increased fuel costs, customer perception to name a few)in order for it to be a viable success.

We had a '94 Chevy 1500 6.5 TD and it ran great and diesel fuel was even cheaper than gas, and it didn't have all the emissions equipment, but in the end they just didn't sell. The TBI 350 was just too popular and was a cheap option even though it didn't make the fuel economy as the 6.5 TD.
