I wonder what the towing capacity will be or how hard the 4 cyl. and 7 sp. auto would have to work? I see the carrying capacity is expected to be 700 lbs. more than the Ram C/V with almost a 1/3 more interior volume. Give us the diesel!

It's rated for 208 HP/258 lb-ft, so I would guess that it should be able to keep up, especially if it reaches peak torque down low.
