Odd it's almost impossible to find a non-turbo diesel in the modern world. Apparently, the garages are very happy with this?

I think you are stuck in the world of 30-50yrs ago when people would bolt a turbo onto a gas engine never designed for a turbo and bad things would happen.

No, it's pretty straight forward to turbo charge an engine reliably if it was built for turbo from the ground up. The issue here is marketing. A $2k upcharge for a gas engine that put out the same power as the $10k upcharge for the diesel engine doesn't make a lot of sense.

But this assumes that adding a turbo (per your claim…) to a gasser will put out the same power as a diesel (huh? - seriously!!), and that gasser turbos are every bit as robust as are turbos on diesels (or maybe even as reliable as naturally aspirated gassers?)…Maybe this is true (I donno?), but if so, suggest that Detroit has overcome their shoddy ‘beta offerings’ rich past? This would be a welcome change indeed, but most definitely wasn’t the case on my last new truck purchase in 2016…

You both are a bit out to lunch on this, just at different restaurants...
