I hope that dodge takes the hint and puts a 3 or 4 liter diesel in the Dakotas

Hopefully Dodge will put more emphasis on mpg than power something like 150 to 200hp 30 to 35mpg

It was a 2.8 and 06 was the last year for that, and they aren't bringing it back. The Liberty gets about 26 on the highway and isn't rated to tow as much.
