I think it takes place 2025. Something like 54 or 55 mpg fleet average.

I agree. But the fact of the matter is that numbers sell. People like boasting how much hp/tq they have stock. Egos are pretty high in each Chevy/GMC/Ford/Ram camp.
I believe they all have some sort of torque management to extend the life of the transmission which frankly sucks.

I plan to trade or sell it at some point. The pickup tows like a dream but after the way GMC has treated me (NOT the dealership BTW) I don't want the truck any more. It's such a nice truck it a shame really, if fords were not so ugly and Rams untrustworthy it would already be gone.
I think most would be fine if we went back to what the LLY had which was a cat and EGR. All this DPF, DEF, and eevrythign else is for the birds. I realize milage has finally come back up with the newer emissions systems, but it is still a pain to many to have to deal with DEF freezing, or running out, and just an overall distaste for all the crap they now have. I still think if they tried, they could get them pretty clean with decent power output if they tried without all this DEF and DPF crap.
May get a cummer in one of those thoughYou are left with the Japanese trucks now.

I remember reading it somewhere pretty recently. But it is the internet after all. The new Nissan xd and yota tundra are like 1500hd or 5/8 ton trucks. I was wondering if perhaps someone knew more. I think they will be dipping their toes in the hd market relatively soon though. It's too valuable to ignore.
It could do interesting things to the mpg part of it though.

Yup they have the 5.0 Cummins with something like 310hp/520tq. Same Aisin transmission as the Ram 3500 and same axles as the Ram Power Wagon. I'm kinda interested in how this thing will perform.

Same axles as a power wagon??? Uh it has IFS...
The rear axle looks like a 14-bolt semi-floater due to the hub cap design, but I cant find any info about it.
You are left with the Japanese trucks now.
I was not aware that a Japanese full size truck is currently in production.
I heard the dodge guys praise the crap out of it, but that being said I'm not getting rid of my truck for a 5/8 ton.
