They say 3-5 years, hoping the system can be retrofitted.

And a whole new world of burnt out ignition coils, misfires, and step up transformers that don't work.
Hopefully they get the reliability aspect nailed right out of the gate, because a system like that is rather difficult and incredibly expensive to diagnose and repair.

I'm running, or was running, the Bosch +2s in mine before I took it off the road. Seemed to do OK. Power was good, no idea on fuel economy because the truck didn't get a chance to get used to them.
