Seems like all three small diesels aren't really made for big towing. 

 

That said, it's a more realistic 1/2 ton number.

Ford claimed something like 10 or 10.5k and multiple reviews said with a 6000lb trailer it didn't have the power to maintain speed on hills.  

 

So I'd say 7800 is probably realistic and Ford should be rated at 6000 or probably less.

Less tq then then the 6.2 and way less hp then the 5.3 or 6.2...

Interesting that list says the 6.2 is 425/450. That number was short lived and they announced 420/460.

 

These leaks from GM are usually 95% accurate but they slightly over deliver.  2016 Camaro was leaked to have 440hp, it released with 455.

And will probably cost $4k more than the 5.3...

 

These diesels just arent worth it in half ton segment. There is literally zero benefit. Unless the fuel economy numbers knock it outta the park, it will be a huge flop like the baby powerstroke.

I have to assume the towing numbers are wrong. This should be able to tow 10k.

Agreed but there is stil a small market for half ton diesels. Ford and gm saw dodge making decent sales and didn’t want to stand put anymore. Either way I agree half ton oil burners is not worth the money. The 2.8 Colorado duramax tows 7700.  This 7800 can’t be true. Cmon man

I see plenty of ram trucks with the ecodiesel in my area, it's quite popular. Ram does offer it in all trims I believe which helps some. I'm wondering if I should hold out for this engine. I bet it performs great, I like the idea of forced induction and  high torque while hauling through the high mountain elevations I frequent.

Only time will tell when the official ratings come out.  To me if you want a reliable 1/2 ton diesel the Nissan would get my vote due to it having a Cummins in it.  Not sure about the rest of the truck but the engine would be bullet proof.  It is 310hp and 555lb-ft torque.  Not trying to sell one but has anyone tried to build a Titan?  So many different options and configurations. GM could take a lesson from this.  Kind of a confusing mess but then you can pick or choose and not have to settle for a package you don't want just to get an option only in that package so to speak.

 

Torque: 555 lb-ft
MSRP: From $46,450
Towing capacity: 12,030 to 12,310 lbs
Transmission: 6-speed automatic
Bed length: 78 to 79.2″
Payload: 1,850 to 1,975 lbs

Hmmm...this could be what gets me out of my Colorado Diesel.  Couple things I hope they don't screw up.  Better not have electric cooling fans.  Better have the exhaust brake on a separate button from the tow/haul function (Colorado has them on the same button).

 

I'm not mad at the towing rating, if anything it might be smartly under-rated.  This will definitely have a higher payload than the Colorado diesel, sounds like it will get about the same mpg, has a 3 gallon larger tank too.

Is DEF required on these smaller diesel engines as well?

 

Yes, ALL new diesels.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
