So, I was reading an introduction and someone stated that we were trailing the rest of the big 3 as far as diesel performance goes... that didn't sit well with me at all, so I figured I'd start this thread, and well, see where it goes...
..............................Torque..............................
..........06......07......08......09......10......11......12
Dodge: 610....650....650....650.....650.....800....800 <<1,800rpm
Ford:...570....570.....650...650.....660.....735.....735 <<3,000rpm
Chev:...650....650....650....660....660.....765.....765 <<1,600rpm
..............................HP....................................
............06......07......08......09......10......11......12
Dodge: .305....350.....350....350....350.....350.....350
Ford:....325....325....350.....350.....350.....390....390
Chev:...360....360.....365.....365....365....365.....397
I think its typically agreeable that torque is king for diesels, and on top of that low rpm torque is where its at. (Ford? WTF!) I don't see how either of our competitors are surpassing Cummins/Ram performance, or even for that matter keeping up.
Thoughts?
