[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 912788, member: 12952"] Not really. Ford would like to increase the sales of its friend-150 turbo-boost ( known as Eco-boost ). Nice idea using a V-6 that gives the power of a V-8, but when towing sees a big drop in mpg. Small trucks with diesels were for sale in the US back in the mid-80's ; Volkswagen & Toyota namely. Both got great mileage , but all that black soot created was a turn off. Toyota has its Hi-Lux line of diesels , but not in the US. And their current small truck, Tacoma I would no longer call small. I compared my 1996 to a 2012 model and the newer one is huge. We do need the World Ranger to be sold here, and with it's diesel engines. I see a market for them and the first major player that sells them will see skyrocketing sales. [/QUOTE]
