    I'm pretty sure Fiat is making the diesel for the Ram and the Grand Cherokee if I recall correctly.

    VM Motori, which Fiat owns. I think GM owned 50%, but recently sold it to Fiat.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    "all new"

    has become a light term for auto makers these days.

    they didnt really do a redesign on the tundra from what i've read its a "re-engineer" which is code for a face lift
    fiat also owns them if remember correctly and thats why you can buy a fiat at a jeep dealership

    Here's something to think of. What about all the emissions crap they throw on diesels? I'm not sure if they will have all the dpf and urea junk that the full size trucks have. If it does I would run far away from it. Have a few new diesels at work and have had nothing but problems with them. Grant it they are fords but still plenty of emissions problems with them
