That would be an interesting rumour indeed.
Although i don't know what diesels MB currently have that would be suitable in a pick up.
I do know that they are working on a 6.0l V12 however.
Around 500hp, and 750lb ft of torque.
Imagine that in a pickup.
Yee Haw!!!

Now i have nothing against dodges, besides their grilles being way too big, but are these rumors true?
Admins, im not flaming dodge. Im just curious if they tend to have "defective parts"

I had a 2002 Dakota Quad Cab SLT (Plus). I loved that truck. Just couldn't deal with the gas mileage, driving into Washington, DC every day. 10-12 mpg in town. 4.7L V-8.
Fast. Real fast. Handled great. Didn't handle like a truck.
It would pass anything EXCEPT a gas station.
The 'new' Dakota. . . . ugliest truck on the road, IMO.
Looks like the 'south end of a cow, headed north'.
My wife had a '98 G. Caravan. We put 72,000 miles on it.
It had the 3.3 V-6. It did NOT use any oil. Garage kept. That was a GOOD vehicle.
She was involved in an accident and totalled the van. Someone ran a stop sign and caused the accident.
I miss that vehicle.
Mopar junk?!?!?!?! Like every other manufacturer, they make good ones and bad ones.

UPDATE- The pick up I mentioned on page 2 at the bottom just broke down again. This time it is the injection system. It went in to get fixed, but we have had enough. This is our busy season and cannot afford to have a truck down. My partner is going back to Ford.

I didn't know chevy made "real" trucks. In my opinion what they sell is no better than dodge. The only real truck on the road is FORD. If you buy a chevy or dodge you better have another vehicle around to go to the parts store. You will make a lot of trips. We had to learn this the hard way. Fortunately we have AAA Plus.
