if you compare the torque you will see that a 2.0L diesel is not far from your 5.7L gas engine
and i don't doubt that SOME people might need a truck, but how many truck owners are ripping tree stumps out of the ground on a daily basis?
or would it make sense to drive something smaller with 40-50 mpg and rent something big for a day from the saved money if you really feel like ripping tree stumps? ;)
