ya before I went a few years ago to the big diesel event here I didn't know about these diesels either they are just torque monsters i wish europe had an event like the august black-out we have here just to experience the raw poower of these monsters, like what other vehicle for under 50grand can u get over 600lb-ft of torque and with not much more than a reprogram and a little top end work its crazy the massive amounts of power that a diesel can make (800hp+ and 1200lb-ft+ easy) now how is watching a full sized diesel truck going down the strip like this not entertaining?? everyone always things o its only a diesel just for towing why would I want one of those, well this and the fact that our full sized one ton truck almost makes as good of mileage as my little eclipse is a ton more fun to drive and can still hook onto our 28' trailer and tow it like nothing is why I love em
I guess what I'm saying is they're very functional, practical, torque monsters that are something that I can dream of owning/doing one day unlike any of these exotic vehicles that would never last on the roads around here
