Engines are derated to meet emissions and are also sandbagged a little for future "updates". Has nothing to do with reliability.
So you see, the more time, money and manpower they devote to these pissing matches, the more it likely hurts the rest of the truck.
This is way out of my knowledge base. You are telling me that larger medium duty class trucks (4500/5500/6500) have stricter emission standards than consumer grade (2500/3500) pickup trucks? Makes no sense to me, but if that is what comes from the government it wouldn't shock me. Can you enlighten us on that?
I completely disagree with the last sentence. More capable does not equate to less reliable, just the opposite IMO.
