I thought the ZR2 concept with a diesel was an awesome smaller truck. Although I think it would benefit alot more with an 8 speed transmission to take advantage of the tq better.

I am waiting to see what the Nissan Frontier with the 2.8l Cummins 4cyl and 8 speed auto is going to turn out like. Supposedly about 220 hp and 400 ft lbs tq. Get less MPG but the 8 speed will make up for it and still get more power and it is needed in a truck. That is why I am surprised gm went with a 6 speed auto. Now a 6 speed manual would have been nice though.
