That went exactly how I thought it would with a small diesel. I like how they even comment that small diesels should not be confused with their larger HD brethren. These small diesels are made for fuel economy while the HD diesels are made for pulling power, just like some gas engines are made for fuel economy and others are made for all out power.
I had to laugh every time my cousin compared his Ram Ecodiesel to my Cummins. He actually thought that just because they were both diesels with his peak torque only being 400 rpm higher and him having two more gears with a much shorter rear gear that they would both pull and preform the same. It wasn't until he actually drove my truck seeing how it can pull a load at much lower rpms than his Ecodiesel that he finally started to see what I was talking about when I stated that his diesel was designed for fuel economy of a car and my diesel was designed for pulling power in a truck.
