Not sure what manufacturer to contact.I know that with the currant epa restrictions put on diesels,I think it just makes getting one here very expensive and possibly not worth it in the long run to the different makers,jmho.

Mazda seems to be the only one still "committing" to bringing diesels in. Do they make a truck in any market anymore? I think VW has already said NO! to the Armark (sp) coming in...

The reason Mahindra and all the other truck company's will not let us have 4 cylinder diesel trucks here in the good old USA is because they have been paid off by the big oil company's, which are the ones that are running this country.It makes me want to puke.End of story

The one truly getting kickback is the Government in the form of gas taxes.. If cars here were more fuel efficient the oil co. and the gov. looses money. So both have a vested interest in keeping the mpg down in the USA.. I'm all for clean air, but there is a point where you are cutting off your nose to spit your face...
