The reason is that these small/mid sized PU trucks get the same gas mileage as the big ones. Nobody wants the smaller trucks if you get more HP, capacity and the same MPG. Doddge said no to the Dakota because their full sized 1500 eco diesel gets almost 30 mpg highway!

Maybe so, but a lot of us don’t want a full-size truck. We have a Dodge Dakota that we pull behind our motorhome. I’d rather not have to tow its full-size big brother RAM.

Also seems like Ford is bringing back the Ranger, so I guess there’s a market after all.
