Payload numbers don`t mean a whole lot when talking about 1/2 to pickup
trucks. What percentage of 1/2 ton pikup truck buyers actually looks at
the payload number? Maybe 5 percent?

850lbs of payload in crewcab trim, as much of a great drivetrain as this might be its not in the right truck.

Was there ever an early Dodge pickup with an English Perkins diesel ? Something in deep, dark recesses of my mind tells me so.

New for this application (in a pickup truck), but not a new engine in automotive or MDT truck applications in Europe. According to Wikipedia, the engine has been in the European market since 2011

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.
