Silly guy...If you read the post one would believe the gas engines reach there max torque just before redlining when infact the difference in rpm's for max torque is minor,in this case 200 rpm's..
6.9 and 7.3 vs 460...
415ftlb@2000rpm for the diesel, 410ftlbs@2200rpm for the 460, 94-97 rateings and the HP goes to the 460..
My first house cost just under $15K and I would never spend 5 times that for a pickup let alone a truck camper when the older units are just fine and get from point A to B just as fast and with as good or better fuel mileage, in my area.
It's clear the diesel is for the kool kids and the gas for the logical folks..(laughing)
