America has long had a love affair with pick up trucks, and in the past 15 years the number of trucks being sold in this country was steadily rising.  Every day more and more trucks appeared on the road, and it wasn't because all these people were buying them because they actually needed them for their business or farm.  No, it was because trucks were cool.  Part of the reason for the truck boom was the tremendous boost in popularity that country music enjoyed in the 1990's.  Have you ever seen Toby Keith or Alan Jackson doing a commercial for a compact car?  Can you even envision such a thing?  Another reason was consumer revolt against smaller and smaller cars.  People like big, roomy vehicles, and they feel safer in them.  Hitting a deer while driving a Ford F-150 is no fun, but it's likely to be a  lot less worse than hitting a deer while driving a Toyota Corolla.

But the truck boom is over, at least for quite a while.  Why?  Mainly because of high gas prices.  People may feel safer in a truck, but pickups are not very fuel efficient.  When gas prices are low, that's no problem.  But when gas costs nearly $4 a gallon, owning a pickup truck is a luxury more and more people can no longer afford.  The second reason is the state of the overall economy.  Many people are feeling uncertain about the economic prospects of the country, and are worried about losing their jobs.  They're cutting back everywhere they can when it comes to spending, including their personal vehicles.  New truck sales have dropped 40% in the last five years.

That's a shocking number.  But if you're one of those Americans who still wants or needs a pickup truck, it's great news for you.  If you're looking for a late model used truck in excellent condition, you won't believe how low the prices are.  People are desperate to unload their trucks, and they're willing to sell for far less than they would've a year ago.  And, because used pickups in great condition are such bargains, that puts tremendous pressure on new car dealers to lower their prices and come up with all sorts of incentives to sell their truck inventory.  So if you've been wanting a new or used pickup truck but have been holding off on purchasing, don't wait.  The bargains available in the truck market today are unbelievable.

Gm's New Diesel Line to be Built in Tonawanda Engine Plant

General Motors Corp. has announced plans to retool its Tonawanda engine plant for the production of a new clean diesel engine for its light duty pickup trucks.

According to John Buttermore, GM Powertrain vice president of global manufacturing, the automaker will invest $100 million in the plant near Buffalo to produce a 4.5-liter, V-8 Duramax high-output diesel engine for the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra pickup and Hummer H2.

Production is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Buttermore made the announcement inside the 3.1 million-square-foot plant with Gov. Eliot Spitzer and a host of elected and union officials who strongly lobbied for the new engine in an area where other auto plants, including Delphi, Ford and American Axle, have been making job cuts.

"We are coming back," Spitzer said after helping to pull a black drape from a model of the new engine to the applause of plant workers. "We can compete. We can win. We can out-produce. We can do it with low taxes and most importantly a better work force than anyplace in the world."

The new turbo diesel engine production will retain about 150 jobs at the 70-year-old GM plant, which now makes several four-, five-, six- and eight-cylinder engines. It employs about 1,850 hourly and salaried workers.

“It’s important for Tonawanda and for the entire region,” Town Supervisor Ronald H. Moline said of the investment.

“We get $1 million in taxes from GM on this facility. That’s important revenue,” he said — adding that the larger economic impact is GM’s local payroll of $250 million.

The state contributed a $1 million capital grant for the project.

With surging gasoline prices (now topping $3 per gallon), attention is on diesel engines as a way to boost fuel economy.

"This will be one of the most efficient and technically advanced diesel engines, providing a 25 percent improvement in fuel efficiency and 13 percent reduction in CO2 emissions over gasoline engines in this segment," Buttermore said, "and it does all that while still providing the performance attributes required by customers in the areas of towing and hauling loads."

The Tonawanda plant ranked as the eighth most productive engine plant in North America in a recent report by Troy, Mich.-based Harbour Consulting.

In January, GM – also maker of quality GMC running board, announced that the plant will begin producing a new V-8 engine in 2009 after GM spends $300 million on renovations and equipment.
