I do understand that some part of the population need a big-ass truck like on the far-out countryside, but for God sacke put a diesel in it - plain stupid having petrol in a truck ..
the vast majority of heavy-duty pickups in the US are sold with diesels.

The automakers are working on diesels for the light-duty pickups, but the emissions control regulations are a major stumbling block. The light-duty pickups face stricter emissions regulations than the heavy-duty trucks -- far, far stricter than current European emissions control regulations.
