well that is all good and well I was using generic class 8 truck specs. but the truth is it won't tow any better than a gas truck that has proper gearing for the task given equal horsepower.
it may use less fuel, no arguement there. and it may last longer at lower rpm but it is just as easy to make a turbo gas motor that will make as much torque at low rpm as a diesel and last just as long. diesel is for fuel economy, nothing else.
