Stop in for a cup of coffee

I wonder if there would be a market for a new diesel in a pickup that only had 300 Hp and 500 torque that got 25 MPG? You know those numbers were huge just a few years ago.... I mean if they focused on mileage like they have trying to one up the other brands. How much power do you really need???

Power is only part of the problem. No BS, what’s killing current trucks is the DPF system that the EPA mandated. In the test cell, and in the test trucks, no bullshit, we saw an AVERAGE drop of 45 to 50 percent in MPGs with the DPF, plus you have the urea cost. We bypassed the DPF on 4 of the 9 test trucks with the 6.7 HO, we saw 22-25 mpg unloaded, on each. Vs 14-16 on the 5 we left with the DPF. Towing was even worst. Heavy, we saw DPF trucks dropping to 7-9 mpg, same load(a bobcat skid steer) those 4 trucks we deleted averaged 12-15 over the exact same route.
