One more time.......................ED................PENTASTAR V6
Cruising @ 60/140whp.......1900rpm...............2500rpm
Climbing @ 240 WHP.........3600rpm (Peak /WOT)...4500rpm (still another 2000rpm to go)
Not exactly earth-shattering stuff.
Do you totally disregard torque because you're unable to comprehend it's effectiveness or is it the fact you find it easier to bash the ed using horsepower comparisons? It seems you've devoted an abnormal amount of research time to ferret out any negative statement that's ever been made about it. Talk about biased!!!
I suppose if the facts don't line up with your ideology, attacking the source is the only way to go.
I understand the whole torque vs horsepower issue, a lot better than many who post on it. But there comes a point when lack of horsepower is the determining factor.
How about an intelligent response to the about post indicating that at most loads a diesel with 240hp is not going to be some super engine vs a gasser with 60 more hp. 600-1000rpm, $4k, that is the difference.
The ED is not going to be the effortless / superior tow rig that the large diesels are. It will be a compromised (HP and Payload) machine. If this were a boat forum, I would be firmly on the other side of this debate.
Still waiting for the engine this truck should have got, sigh, the cummins......
Work on your editing. I didn't write any of that.
