X2 to that, but here is a short answer.
Well to get a diesel with as little torque as a gasser, would need to go back to a 12 valve late 80's and early 90's Cummins ISB. This is the lowest rated Cummins.
HP 160
Torque 400
The NEW Ford 6.2, is a close match for torque.
Horse power
385 @ 5500 rpm (Super Duty <10K GVWR)
316 @ 4179 rpm (Super Duty >10K GVWR)
Torque
405 @ 4500 rpm (Super Duty <10K GVWR)
397 @ 4179 rpm (Super Duty >10K GVWR)
So it only took gassers 20+ years to catch up on torque.
Well let's do current to current
Cummins 6.7 (2013)
350 hp @ 2,800 rpm
850 lb-ft @ 1,700 rpm
If I was buying new NO Question what I would buy.
