Let me try to make up for it:

Engines for the commercial market (read: things other than Nissan) will begin shipping out of CEP by Q4 2014.

Let me try to make up for it:

how much will this cost i wonder?

The 210hp is marginal, but the compelling argument to purchase a 2500 or 3500 will greatly diminish when the fuel savings is realized and the truck does what 98% of the truck population wants.

I have always wondered why they always pushed more HP instead of more MPG every damn year. My 02 7.3 gets almost as good of gas mileage as most full size trucks now days and will pull anything you put behind it. If I wanted fast I would buy a sports car. Depending on price I may eyeball one of these.

I'll stick with my Duramax.

[STANGGT40]

Amen! Btw, I hand calculated 20.03mpg on my last tank. Not bad for a big ol heavy ford!

Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?

When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.

The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.

I can almost promise you that Cummins won't lock themselves into a contract the way they did with Dodge, especially with them losing market share in class 8 trucks. They kind of signed a deal with the devil in their Paccar agreement. Although this has been ironed out somewhat.

I am curious how much this deal (Nissan, Toyota, etc) is worth. The Dodge deal isn't that big, compared to bigger automotive and industrial.
