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.

    • I have been waiting for a diesel powered 1/2 ton truck for some time now. I am very disapointed that plans have been scrapped by the big three. If any one of you would kindly pull your head out of your rears and look around you will realize the demand is here.
