I have never understood why they would put a V6 in a full size truck or why people want them. Nissan did it right, you want a full size truck you get a full size engine with it. Now a diesel in a half ton sounds good to me. I know GM's 4.5L V8 turbo diesel for their half tons is looking pretty good. Its was built from the ground up and is expected to put out more than 310 hp and 520 lb-ft according to truck trend.

Off topic here but still about engines, mercedes has a new engine that looks very good. Its a 1.8L turbocharged, direct injected gas engine and it uses both spark ignition and auto ignition. This thing puts out 240hp and 300lb-ft all while getting about 40 mpg. This thing is almost as powerful as the frontiers 4.0 L V6 and gets twice the mileage. Pretty amazing.
