Diesel Half Ton Pickup for North America

To:  CEO's of Ford, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Toyota, Nissan in North America

The goal of this petition is to make the major automotive manufacturers here in North America aware that there is a huge demand for a light-duty diesel pickup truck.
I believe that I speak for the majority of light truck owners when I say that what ever company makes the first half-ton pickup for sale in North America with a clean DIESEL option will become the absolute leader in new light-truck sales.
The “big three” already have new diesel engines designed & tested for their respective light-duty pickup trucks.
Ford - 4.4L twin turbo 60-Degree V-8, 310 hp and 516 lb-ft
Chevrolet - 4.5L turbo LMK Duramax 72-degree V-8, 310 hp and 520 lb-ft
Chrysler - 5.0L turbo Cummins 90-degree V-8, 320 hp and 500 lb-ft
All of these engines have been mated up to 6-speed automatic transmissions and can expect to get close to 30mpg or 8litres/100km
If you are fed up with driving inefficient pickup trucks and would like to have more power, more torque and at least 25% better fuel efficiency, please sign this petition and let us send a message to the major automotive manufacturers to kindly build us a light-duty diesel truck here in North America.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
