interesting that it's a 5.0 litre and v8... always figured it would be an inline 6 like the 2500/3500's and 5.0 seems like it will be fairly big... i heard way back when they were looking at a 3.0... I hope toyota try one!

volkswagen is coming out with a diesel truck as well in the next year or two.

 

[plio7]

Can't wait...... My next truck. Give them a few years to get the bugs out then I'm in

 

[fj40]

This will be interersting not as big as the domestics but still nice power and fuel economy
Toyota was looking at a diesel in 2008 before the slowdown

 

[kbrunlees]

You would think that nissan would use their own diesel engines.

 

[plio7]

Back in 2010 there was a rumor they were going to use a Mitsubishi diesel in 2012

 

[AreWeThereYet]

V8, holy fawk,.. the I6 already weighs enough

 

[CUSO]

They probably don't meet emission standards.

wow....more truck then most will need

Indeed... And if they pulled off 26-28mpg realistically they will sell a ton of them.

Only problem I can see with this setup is gonna be the payload capacity, with all the extra weight of that big v8 cummins on a half ton chassis, there wont be much room left payload wise. Couple two or three passengers and a full tank of fuel isnt gonna leave too many spare pounds available to haul anything, as it is, a gasser v8 with passengers and full of fuel is not leaving a bunch of room weight wise. Itll have all the power in the world but without the chassis to utilize that motor I can see this truck being a bit of a let down, but we'll see what happens I guess

Since when are today's diesels fuel efficient? All I hear nowadays is how they suck fuel to meet emissions.

Once the emission stuff is deleted they are good, good fuel mileage if not better than the older diesels.

Those days are slowing coming to an end. The good news is that the manufacturers are starting to come out with emissions friendly engines that are free of EGR or a DPF.

The amarok is released but not in North America. Twin turbo tdi and a 8 speed auto or standard trans I'd buy one hands down.

Hopefully change that interior. Pretty boring. Reminds me of an old Dodge Caravan.
