A better thread may be "why would anyone want a diesel in a 1/2 ton truck". Don't get me wrong, I hope there is an economically justifiable way to drive a 1/2 ton truck with 9K plus towing capacity and save on fuel expenses. I just don't see diesel as the answer (I hope I'm wrong).
Now that I think about it, why would the auto industry care what the fuel costs are. Since diesel has more BTU per gallon this is the obvious choice on meeting MPG requirements.

You're right! We should all right letters to Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Chevy telling them how stupid it is to put diesels in their 1/2 tons. What a waste of time, lol.
