Diesel with DOD (if that's possible) would be even better. Put an extra layer of sound insulation on the firewall & call it a day.

With 5spd,dod, 6.2, I bet an h2 wil get 14/17. They could also ditch the full time 4WD for a 2wd/4wd hi/lo t-case....with a 4:1 low gear!
I was trying to think where they could save 500 lbs....maybe the bumpers and tire carrier redesigned, tailgate seems too heavy on SUT, more fiberglass body panels,thinner glass,.... uhh that's going to be tough w/o pussifying the drive train.
Is the 6.2 lighter than the 6.0?
