2nd-- power dept. -- When it comes to hp more powerful ang gasoline engine compare to a diesel--- but trucks paguusapan natin ha..!! Pickup thread din naman ito--- gasoline engines of similar displacement still have an advantage in peak power, but the gap has narrowed to about 20 or 30 hp but on the torque department of diesels to their gasoline counterparts has gap from about 80 to 100 lb-ft! to about 300 to 400 lb-ft or more.
What do you want when you're towing and hauling? Torque, or hp?
Syempre torque...!!
Question? Bakit kaya 99% of pickup trucks sold here in the phils is diesel? Because we truck users usually use our pickup trucks for towing and hauling... torque ang ample hp kailangan namin, Hindi horsepower sister...!
3rd Americans don't like torque? For a truck -- Full of b.s. Ito.. No further explanations needed..
4th Noise -Diesel engines have evolved over the last few years in almost every area, but perhaps the most impressive strides have been made in the area of noise, vibration and harshness, or NVH. May noise cancellation pa... Read the reviews about the everest and the ranger...
The biggest factor here is the advance and sophisticated injection technology.. W/c made Diesel engines nearly as quiet as their gasoline counterpart....
