I feel like the the HD gas trucks/suv's are in that constricting era that muscle cars went through in the 80's. You had all the big power cars before the 80's and then nothing but turds for a while. 90's rolled around and it has been improving performance ever since.
The HD gassers seem kind of stuck. I would love to see a ford 7.3 gas. Maybe GM and Ram would have to step it up a bit to compete. Bring back the 8.1 GM and I'm sure Ram would come up with something too.
Nothing constricted about it. There aren’t big hp gas trucks because...........
Wait for it...............
There are big power diesels. Who wants 500hp and 500 ft lbs and 7 mpg when you can have 450hp, 950ft lbs and 30% better fuel mileage.
If you NEED that kind of power out of a gasser, you’re better off getting a diesel.
Unless you’re one of the many that can’t bring themselves to bear getting, gulp, an oil burner.
Love to see more power coming out in trucks. They’ll make nice hotrods 20 years from now
