Dodge trucks are no more. It's call "Ram" now.
I've read it's the same motor offered in the Jeep Grand Cherokee a 3.0l diesel built by VM Motori in Italy. Here is some internal shots of the motor in a Banks flavor. Inside The Banks VM Motori 3.0L 630T V6 Diesel Engine - Diesel Power Magazine It appears they are only offering up a 8 speed ZF automatic. .

Might finally be a more efficient replacement for our '96 E350 Powerstroke workhorse. I was excited about the Sprinter. But in order to carry two tons and accommodate the dual rear wheels, the wheel wells were pushed inward eliminating the possibility of forklift loading a standard 40" wide pallet. None of the modern diesel domestics offer the carrying capacity in a van configuration because of the heavier powerplants and the modern euro options don't offer the dimensional capacity or carrying capacity and/or diesel option. This looks promising. The upfit and configuration options are impressive.

As long as the tranny and engine computers are not intertwined too much.
