To get improved MPG, aerodynamics have to be improved ( we've seen this from Spy Pix) and Weight has to be reduced.
500lbs less, bringing it down to 3100-3200 lbs, would improve mpgs.
Gearing, transmission, tires have been pointed out.
Real- World mileage, with 3:73s, , more aggressive tires, all that stuff we like to add on (weight increase) means any "real" mpg increase will be on paper, 3:21s, street tires.
Will be interesting to see what REAL figures are.
Diesel is dying, Europe is implementing tougher standards, some cities are going to ban Diesels , or tax them out of existance.
Higher initial cost, expensive maintenance intervals, higher cost of diesel fuel translates into a niche that will not have large sales segment.
Military has no such constraints, so will be there in force.
