Technically that's not a 1500.

12k towing capacity rivals that of the 2015 f150s and 1500 silverados, payload is average. its like the 1500HD that chevy did from 2001-06, which imo flopped. but the datsun does look like a nice truck

^taken from the link

Lil jelli of the numbers of the baby cummins thats for sure, but I really hope they made that trans and frame able to handle what idiots will certainly try and tow.

Another press release says the trans will be made by Aisin which also make the current trans behind the heavy duty Rams. I don't work with the diesel stuff so I don't know the quality of it in the Ram, but I know Aisin has been around for a while so the trans should be pretty good.

Yeah, in the world's ugliest truck. You want to buy a Nissan full-size pickup truck just to get a diesel v8? Knock yourself out.

meanwhile, it can only match the ratings of the gasoline powered half ton trucks from the Americans.

Yeah, the old "great engine surrounded by a ****** truck" situation.

That new Titan is ugly as sin. Really ugly. They just upsized the grill and headlights to keep up with the Big Three, but they totally forgot about making it work with the new body panels.
That 5.0 Cummins is damn near a decade old at this point. All that, and it doesn't do anything that a typical gas engine does.

Dodge did something smart and challenged Ford at the economy game by introducing a diesel V6, because they realized that the diesel V8 would be nice, but the truck's limitations have been reached. To spend the money that Cummins did on that diesel to net another 500-1k towing is not worth it.

That's why the Mini-Max never made it.

Minimax and a tahoe, zomggsss would be so cool.

S10, with the 2.0 rumored the end of this year?

S10? LOLWUT? Are you in a time machine?

S10, Colorado, Tacoma, whatever... pint size 4x4..

I read the new colorado will be able to be optioned with le diesel?

The Colorado is a decently sized pickup.
And yes, we talked about the diesel Colorado 100 times. It's coming later this year.

101 times is better though. Diesel all the things!

Still want to know what the price point and mileage is going to be. So far the numbers for the Colorado aren't exactly awe-inspiring. I get similar (1-2 lower) in a full size hemi 1500 that has nearly 100HP more on tap, and mine is the older trans version with the '6' speed (really a 5 speed).

So you are comparing real-world numbers vs EPA numbers? Please don't do that.

Well, as soon as I have real world numbers on the colorado I'll be sure to compare.

Didn't take long :rofl:

Such a nice truck

Sadly this won't bring down the prices of the HD trucks but perhaps just bolster their price even more. Damnit!!

Wonder how its sporting that dual exhaust with regen shens?

Speaking of towing around houses.... Dam I miss my 1500 an that 6.2

:rofl::rofl: damn itttttt

Wish I had a pic but I saw a dodge towing a big ass office trailer, lots o squat :lol:

Semi behind him made it look even more ridiculous....

Inline six dmax! Cummins wanna be status unlocked

Read that as well. Pretty cool they are opening up the diesel game. The use of lightweight materials in certain areas is a nice touch. Aluminum body panels means hopefully less chance of corrosion too.

I wonder if GM will offer a bigger infotainment screen like the new Ram.
