Lacking the Amarok, or a legitimate VW option...
So I have been looking at the 1500 series diesel tucks, (yes, I know they can be had bigger(2500/3500), but I drive it daily, and there are smaller(Canyon/Colorado) need the space and hauling)
Dodge Ecodiesel is king in this space, largely because they have 5 years head start on everyone else. (and it is a former MB diesel engine from VM Motori)
Ford F-150 Power stroke, new 3.0L diesel
GM/Chevy 1500 new 3.0L inline 6 Duramax
All are targeted around 30MPG highway, and the 2019's are playing the we are releasing our specs last so we can be king. (RAM is holding out)
(been riding my 2013 Silverado, waiting and wanting, had wanted a 2013 RAM diesel, but could not hold out for them to be released)
Anyone have any information or thoughts?
I am leaning hard on a Ram Ecodiesel largely because they are proven, and seem to be easily serviced locally.

oh- http://www.thedrive.com/news/23711/...engines-for-2019-jeep-wrangler-are-on-the-way
Jeep just threw their hat in to the light truck marketplace by saying their new Gladiator will have the 3.0L Diesel option.... (same as the RAM)
