As anyone have information that any US diesel small pickup is in the future? To preface this – I owned a 1986 Ranger 2.3L TurboDiesel - rated at about 37MPG and I got better then 40. It was a very good economical (both fuel and upkeep) truck and the best truck I ever owned. I am now in the market for a new truck and if a diesel small diesel pickup is on the horizon I’ll wait. I know, by searching the internet that Ford builds Rangers overseas with a wonderful offering of diesel engines.

I read in AutoNews last week that Tata is planing a factory in US to build small trucks with diesels. Sure is to bad we cant get the verity that the rest of the world enjoys. I sure would like to buy a diesel Nissan Rouge or a Diesel Kia Sportage or have the option of other compact SUV's.
