Your wrong about the torque, the torque on the Chevy i6 will out perform the v6 any day of the week! The torque curve on the i6 will be much wider and therefore put more power to the wheels for a longer period of time. If your towing side by side up hill and both are in the strongest part of the torque curve then yes the v6 will out perform the i6. If you both start from a dead stop heading uphill then the i6 will be hard to catch. I’m not saying it’s a better engine.
@dylanmacaya91664 жыл бұрын
Well if you won't I will. It's the better engine. As in, the diesel is, by far and away, the better engine. The diesel option is always going to be a/the better engine in any truck (or car when/ where available) and if anyone disagrees then they (whoever they/you are) have a warped (read; incorrect) view and/or idea of what the best attributes are for the powertrain of a truck (or car). It really just simply boils down to torque and mpg's are the most important aspects of a powertrain and diesels deliver that (along with unrivaled longevity) in spades. That's why diesels rule. As far as two equal trucks with the same load, but one with a gas engine and one with a diesel motor side by side with a running start (say 40 mph) at a multi mile six+% grade, the displacement of the two power plants and their respective outputs are going to be pivotal factors in the outcome of that match up of course. So I like the idea of two equally equipped Chevy Silverado's, one with the 5.3 gas engine and the other with the new 3 liter straight six Duramax or compare the Ram Eco D3 liter to the Hemi with the eTorque added even and I imagine that the diesel trucks are going to pull the same load better, as in faster (if by only just a little) and definitely while burning less fuel than the gas motors under most conditions. It's only a matter of time before someone like TFL will either validate or invalidate my guess though. I'm looking forward to seeing how that comparison shakes out.

I also don't have a problem with supposedly looking "too butch" whatever that even actually is/means since I'm as comfortable with my masculinity as I am with my femininity. Maybe it's because at the age of 47 I'm a little (read; a LOT) more mature than you younger immature types (read; shites).(!) And as far as it being the best trim level package, it is by virtue of its rear locker more than any other feature of/in the package. And now with the availability of the diesel with this package, RAM has finally created the, and I do mean THE perfect half ton truck and it's the smartest thing they ever did. The only thing that would make it more perfect would be the availability of a front locker but this truck in the Rebel trim (& with the diesel of course) is now the best truck available in the half ton segment.

You need a new government if you want full-size trucks. With various import tariffs and economy regulations, you are going to be paying double to get a full-size truck in Australia. They are already expensive in the US. The Australian rebuilt Rams probably won't be as reliable as US built Rams. The US built Rams come from a state of the art automated factory that fits everything under strict tolerances. Refitting such a vehicle without the same automated process would lead to many points of error. The areas that could be improved through the process like the transmission or engine assembly are not done during the rebuild process.

No, ultimately breaks down less, to considerably less and will last two to six times longer for overall mileage and hours of operation in its life cycle over a gas engine plus far better torque output and fuel mileage.

Diesels rule planet earth (or at least make it run, as far as human beings are concerned) and will continue to do so for decades to come.
