I’m pretty sure the reason most pickups are still using leaf springs is because they handle heavy payloads better as well as trailer squat.

[@james2042]

When it comes to trucks, HP means a whole lot less than Torque. The 3.0 inline 6 turbo diesel is actually a top engine choice for the silverado (the same way it is in the ram and f150) as it delivers massive torque (460ft-lbs, same as the 6.2 V8) with great fuel economy. Also the reason why the 5.3 V8 is the volume engine is that sweet naturally aspirated 383ft-lbs of torque. Also the 6.2 makes 420hp, not 460. Also for the Europeans who don't know much about trucks (understandably since you don't really have them there), the leafsprings are a good thing since it enables you to carry more weight, safer. The ram 1500 (and 2500 for that matter) don't do as well with a heavy payload since the coils don't hold up as well. Other important truck things are solid rear axles for the same reason as leafs, tires and wheels are heavier duty since they are also built to handle more weight, the interior plastics in most trucks (excluding the highest end luxury trucks) are to help with durability over the working life of the vehicle, and large naturally aspirated gas/petrol engines are very popular over small turbos due to the reliability. Ford's ecoboost f150's are proof turbo gas engines and towing don't mix. (diesels are fine though because of how overbuilt they are obviously). One last note is as you move into HD trucks, you will find trucks with curb weights in excess of 4 tons, so they get very large very quickly. But then again those trucks can tow upwards of 17 tons so teaches own
