Reality is, 400/800 is plenty of power to tow anything that can fit on 3/4 and 1 ton platforms. We are limited by the axles, tires, etc. Marketing is the reason they keep upping the numbers (they are primarily selling to men lol).
I wish they would keep the power and torque the same but work on mileage and a better driving product. For example, amateur tuners are getting better mileage and have the truck driver better than engineers at huge car companies by a simple ECM tune.
And these trucks are still emissions complaint? Chris
Most not so much emission compliant. However, a tuner can add MPG and make the truck drive better without changing any emissions.
But yes, emission requirements have definitely made MPGs a challenge when they have to use fuel to burn off soot. DEF has helped, but I'm surprised they haven't found a better way yet. Well except for Volkswagen.
