True, but those are not cheap vehicles and they are being sold to folks who actually need lots of torque for towing (and to the viagra crowd who want to be truck drivers when they grow up). I'm not convinced detroit can come up with a TDI type car (cheap/efficient), but I do think the ricers probably will give VW a run for their money.
