I'd like to "benefit from the wars among the big three" by them focusing on a "reasonably tuned diesel" capable of towing a 15,000 trailer, even if it means downshifting to 4th (1:1 ratio) while maintaining 65MPH up a 4% grade and getting 20MPG while towing. I honestly don't need 500HP/1100 torque and I'd much rather they start focusing on improving efficiency than climbing the ladder to "most powerful".....

IMHO (for what it's worth) the only options in the diesel arena for "HD trucks" are way overpowered for the average user and it's more about "boasting the biggest" than about producing a truck we really need and can more efficiently use...
