I can't believe you would sell more "gassers" over a diesel/allison combo. The fuel economy alone would be enough, let alone the power and torque that the combination would provide. Finally, the longevity of the truck would be, I would have to say, at least 5 times as much!

Diesel Power ? That magazine has stated things as fact on more than one occassion that have not been true.
I'm not saying this particular acticle is littered with misinformation, but I'd certainly not believe what you read in that magazine as gospel.
Back on topic : I really like the look and stats of the 2011 GMC dually's, which is hard for me to say since I've been a Cummins/Dodge guy.

Think more along the lines of the fuel efficient specific half tons we sell now, but better.

Really?? Ever been to the Hill Country? I guarandamTEE you Dodges outnumber Fords and Chevys there. Those guys haul livestock and everything else and they prefer the Cummins seven out of ten trucks by my reckoning.
Go to www.ltlhotshot.myfreeforum.org and note how may Dodge owners are members there and how few Ford and Chevy owners are members.
Chevy won this test but in the real world of heavy towing the Duramax will not last. Not to mention the weak front suspension compared to the Ford and Dodge Dana solid axles.

I am happy for GM. I can say that any truck that is superior to my 2011 Ford is a great truck. Almost unbelievably better than my 06 Ford. We all will have more fun getting to the lake. American companies are buiding some great products. For those who haven't driven the latest trucks, have some fun and test drive one. You'll be surprised.
