Let's face it guys, the people are hurting. This fuel price thing is making some pickup guys panic. Some are trying to sell/trade in their pickups and are taking a $12,000 to $18,000 beating to get a little car they really don't want.
Government ain't gonna save you. The EPA is overjoyed that you are dumping your pickup for a Yaris. That financial screwing you are taking is (in their view) your penance for owning a big truck in the first place.
Vendors cannot be happy about watching their customer base evaporate.
What is needed is a project truck that can show the average pickup guy a substantial improvement. Not my exotic one-in-ten thousand configuration, but what most everyone else has - a 4x4 with an automatic, probably a dually. Forget a 7.3, the truck should be a 6.4.
What will be needed is for a collaboration of various specialists - tuners, transmission guys,injector guys, bed cover makers, etc
Anybody else got ideas?
