Dodge diesel

[Lloyd S]

All you guys that are towing with a 1/2 ton, here is a little info. Dodge is coming out with a 3 liter dieselin their 1/2 ton later this year. It's a V6. Also will have 8 speed tranny. That should help keep it in that sweet zone for max torque.

See what you could have gotten if you had just waited

I don't know Frank. What I heard yesterday sounded good, but I still don't think I would have went that route.

Hmmm. Is it time for an upgrade? Joyce did get a new snowblower.

If any body can do Russ It is you........

I read the tow rating is around 9k

240 hp and delivers 420 pounds-feet of torque.</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">9200 lbs tow rating</span>

Nope. That won't be an upgrade.

Ford Eco Boost has 365 HP and 420fp of torque and would be lower maintenance cost. I agree with Russ that 3 liter diesel in not an upgrade unless you just plain want a 1/2 ton diesel.

Could be a good idea to wait a year or 2 to iron out the bugs and to really see what its capable of doing. But if we see Dodge coming out with one, there will be a Ford and GM equivalent very soon after.
