The article that I posted about the Ecodiesel only being sold in 12 percent of Rams(instead of the 20 that was expected and produced) was from June of 2015 which was before VW admitted to cheating. This should have been an optimal time given the claims that so many people have been waiting for a diesel in a half ton and it was before "dieselgate".
I think a lot of people like the idea of these small diesels and their cost savings, but when they go on a test drive to see how much power they have to give up and how minimal the cost savings actually are, then they start to rethink it. In many cases, most half ton Ram truck buyers that don't tow that much would be happier with the better performance of the 3.6L. I have no doubts that this would be the same for this Ford 3.0L diesel and the 2.7L Ecoboost.
So many things wrong/cherry picked with this post. People do your own research please.
FYI..... It took 4 years of production for the mighty EB to catch the 5.0 in sales and your commenting on an engine that at that point had been out for maybe a year. Stretch.
