While the rest of the world makes use of it we are left to wait until 2007 when low sulphur Diesel is mandated in the US. So the excuse go. However, currently Ford has the amazing International 6.0L V8 Powerstoke, Dodge the potent Cummings I6 and GM the renowned Isuzu Duramax Diesels in their H/D pickup trucks.

Also, check out the following:

The BMW will make you rethink any objections to a Diesel in a passenger vehicle.

According to Nissan USA, they are waiting to see how the TITAN sells here before introducing the Diesel.

It's pretty simple. Gas here is MUCH cheaper than the rest of the free world. Diesel is a nessecity for them. There's no need for s Diesel 1/4 ton truck here. It may be wanted by some...why?...lol...no idea, but some folks just want what they can't have for some odd reason. Diesel fuel here is expensive and the slight mileage difference doesn't outweigh the price. 1/2 tons also don't need a big torquy Diesel but could make better use of one than a little 1/4 ton.
