I remember hearing about a 4.5L Diesel being available in the Colorados/Canyons a little while back, I guess it hasn’t happened yet. That would be cool.

I would actually consider buying one of these. It’s pretty ugly, but if the price is right, it would be a killer DD. If they make one in a stick shift (it seems like they are using 6-speed automatic as a key feature on every model), I would seriously be interested.

Just saw the four door version in person over the weekend in Atlanta… and yeah, don’t care how much power it’s got. It’s a goofy looking truck.

ford makes a 4.5 diesel v6 they use in the low cab forward
i’m not sure how big it actually is but that’d be an interesting swap into a smaller truck
