EPA holding 2017 Diesels hostage

[TC Diesel]

Its My understanding 2017 won't happen.... Any thinking person could reasonably assume mid year release = even bigger looses when 18s arrive.. and mid year production changes would cost $$$$$$$,it doesn't even pencil.

Unless they offer up big incentives I'm taking my business elsewhere at this point. It would only be courteous, I'm not holding my breath. I'd take a 2018 but currently they are saying May and that would be a 2017 model. I'm not going to eat that loss so to speak.

"Its My understanding 2017 won't happen...."

Where is that information coming from?

I too was wondering where is that information coming from?

I'm having a hard time understanding your reply.

What exactly does "my understanding" mean?

Your best guess?
Gut feeling?
Inside information?
Keystrokes?

Thanks for a more definitive answer if you care to provide one.

Back on topic. In 16 days, May 8th, I will have more information. According to the FCA rep that is the tentative build date. I'm not holding my breath. My wife and I have decided to wait until then before buying a truck. I want an efficient v6 turbo diesel but I'm done waiting. Any suggestions on an alternate truck I could get until this or another hits the market?

Let's keep this on topic. Unless someone here has insider info, it's all a guess at this point about the 2017's.

Let's hope for the best! I

Agreed

I'm still cautiously optimistic. Any suggestion on a short term alternative in case I have to hold out for a 2018? I'd want to spend no more than 15k. That would reduce the bath I'd have to take.

I hate to say this, but I'm not sure I'd buy a 17 at this point unless it has GREAT discounts. '18 year model trucks are just 3-5 months away anyways.

 

[adaman7]

Yeah that is my feeling. It's going to have to be an incredible incentive for me to bite.

I think they made a Disney song that applies here...

Let it go, let it goooo and so on and so forth.

Only it does kind of matter, cause we're all potentially stuck with a truck that doesn't meet emissions, I love my pickup, but I'm jumping on the ford bandwagon when their half ton comes out

Gah, idk if I can handle a ford. They just seem to have such a cheap interior. Tundra is supposedly coming out with a V6 turbo diesel also. But I don't like their interior. Why can't GMC or Dodge get their act together.

I dont believe you will see a 17,I work in the truck plant and i havent seen one yet,and may is also getting close to changeover to 18.I don't claim to have any inside information just what i see.

Thanks Mark! I have been getting the horse and carrot treatment from FCA corporate. It's refreshing having someone else with tangible information rather than manufactured hyperbole as some seem so fond of. Have they mentioned anything about possible manufacturing or is it all hush hush? I will drop a line to my guy in a few days but I doubt it will be anything worth while since everything so far has been BS..... I'm still waiting for my truck that was supposed to be delivered in November

I'm tired of baby sitting. Please keep this on topic and to the point. WE ALL want to know what's going on with the '17's, and fighting an complaining online like school children isn't going to help us.

The next one out of line gets a vacation. I'm a one man army here, and I don't have time to monitor this thread 24/7/365.. I have a life myself.
