Today's Diesel
Today's Diesel engines are highly advanced compared to the first ones. The leaders in Diesel engines in U.S. pickup trucks are Cummins, Duramax, and Powerstroke. The Cummins are the power source for Dodge. Today's Dodges are equipped with a Cummins 6.7 liter turbo diesel engine. The Cummins is producing 383 H.P. with 800 lb-ft and also gets 16 mpg. Next in the lineup is the Chevrolet powered by the Duramax Diesel engine. It is rated with 397 H.P and 765 lb-ft of torque and getting 18 mpg. Last in the lineup is the Powerstroke equipped in Ford trucks. The 6.7 liter V8 produces 400 H.P and 800 lb-ft of torque while getting 17 mpg. There is always a big argument about who has the best trucks as you can see by the stats the trucks are all close in H.P, torque, and mpg. So deciding on the best truck is just which one you like the most.
