8 Reasons Your Next Truck Should Be Powered by a Diesel Engine
Better Fuel Economy: Diesel engines use compression ignition instead of spark plugs to start the combustion process. Using compression as the ignition source, combined with the higher energy content of diesel fuel, provides a much more efficient engine which requires less fuel to operate than a gasoline engine. A diesel engine is also able to operate at peak torque at lower RPM, like you would typically see at cruising speeds, further boosting fuel economy.
More Power: A turbodiesel engine can produce much more peak torque than a gasoline engine of equal size, and maintain peak torque over a broader RPM spectrum.This provides for much more power throughout the operating range, less downshifts for improved fuel economy, and increased payload ratings.
