It's been out for a while now, but we will never see it here in the US because of the EPA and all the jack wagons in Washington that get rich off of us buying gas guzzeling gas vehicles while the rest of the world embraces clean diesel technology and get's better fuel mileage. It's a pretty sore subject with the diesel community.

Yes......But you will most likely never see it on US soil. Look at what Mahindra is going through trying to get there diesel P/U to market in this country.

And neither is the fuel quality that the rest of the world gets because they won't build new refineries with new technology for better fuel.

I tried......but everytime I do I have to rinse my mouth out with Tequilla to get the taste out. Political conversations get really interesting when you are hammered on Tequilla.....

FWIW -- the last day of production for the US-built Ranger is scheduled to be December 22, 2011 -- get your orders in while you can before this rock-solid little truck is put out to pasture.....
