I agree with KSA's comments. Don't know why such a large engine is offered in a half-ton. That's only 0.9L less displacement and 2 MORE cylinders than the previous generation 3/4 ton Dodge. Overkill is putting it lightly. Plus, this offering seems too close to the other offerings that are already on the market in the 3/4 ton segment.

What I really want to see is a 4 cylinder turbo diesel in a light truck such as the Tacoma or Ridgeline.
