What do you think? I'm a big fan of diesels and and if had a need for a pickup, I'd definitely favor such an option

General Motors seems to have found some diesel love lately with the introduction of the compression ignition Cruze. They could certainly take the ready to build 4.5-liter Duramax V8 off the shelf if demand was there. Meanwhile Ford has already announced a 3.2-liter five cylinder diesel for the new Transit van and it's hard to imagine that it couldn't be adapted to the F150. Ford also has a 4.4-liter V8 that had been destined for the F150 and shelved. That engine actually is in production and is being installed in Land Rover and Range Rovers in Europe. If Chrysler demonstrates the demand, I can see it happen.
