Diesel Pickup Trucks From Chevy, Ford, Nissan, Ram: Ultimate Guide - Green Car Reports

Diesel has been an option for heavy-duty pickup users for quite some time now, and the sights and sounds of a big Power Stroke-equipped Ford or Cummins-engined RAM will be quite familiar to most. It's taken longer for the fuel to find acceptance in the light-duty, full-size pickup market, but that's now changing--and over the next few years, several diesel trucks will hit the market, improving hugely on their gasoline-powered counterparts. With diesel trucks from Chevy, Ford, Nissan and RAM available either now or over the next few years, we've pulled them all into an ultimate guide with links and information on every new diesel truck. Announced recently, Chevy finally looks like having a diesel model to slot between the Cruze Diesel passenger car and the much larger diesel-fueled Silverado. The diesel version won't actually appear until late 2015, but the early specifications look promising--under the hood you'll find a 2. 8-liter inline four turbodiesel, sure to make it the most frugal truck on the market. Turning to the Silverado 2500HD, starting at $39,200 including destination, buyers get a 6. 6-liter Duramax V-8 diesel churning out 765 pounds-feet of torque and 397 horsepower.
