Yeah, and it was a great setup from what I understand. Unfortunately, even before the project was killed, it would have been unsuccessful because the diesel was going to add something like $8K iirc to the price of a truck, which makes it cost-prohibitive.
I do know I've seen turbodiesel Ford Rangers in Europe and the Middle East, so I know it can be done and cheap. I'm sure the EPA is fucking us, but I'm fairly certain that what I want could be done here if a manufacturer really wanted to do it.
