That's right Luke. 50% more diesels have been built from 2000 to present day.

The engine selection could stand another 6 Cylinder. Maybe gas?

As far as being shoot in the foot, I think DC has already blown there foot off by not producing a true Crew Cab with the Cummins.

If you want to tow legal inside the Combined weight ratings and want to exceed 23,500lbs you either have to go to Ford for the Tow Boss at 26,000lbs in a one ton truck, a 550 or FL or similar Class 5.

Wonder want a 4:30 gear ratio in a Dodge Cummins would haul??? A BUNCH. Were is Dodge with that. Out to lunch. The 05 Dodge Cummins/DEE with a 4:10 is a real Hauler. That will be my next truck unless a six cyclinder diesel shows up somewhere else in a crew cab. Don't like the 06 standard set up.


I'm going to wait to see want comes out with the 6.7 next year and see what it looks like the following year for tow capacity and transmissions.
