Ram Diesel Truck FAQs
Do diesel truck engines last
longer?
Generally, diesel engines can be more
durable than traditional gas engines. But all of this depends on the right
amount of care. Usually, a good and well-maintained diesel engine truck is able
to reach around 200,000 miles, which is about the equivalent of 100,000 miles
with a gas truck. Of course, this means getting regular service checks and
having a tight maintenance schedule so that you're always keeping the vehicle
condition high, which is the case with any vehicle of any type of engine you
choose.
Are diesel trucks more fuel
efficient?
Diesel engines are generally more
efficient than gas engines as diesel fuel is more energy-dense than gasoline,
which means more energy per gallon. Of course, this all will depend on your
individual driving habits and how you maximize efficiency with a diesel
vehicle. Another thing to consider is that diesel fuel costs more than
gasoline, and it can have higher maintenance costs associated with it because
you'll need diesel specialists like those here at our diesel service center in
Kennewick. It also can be noisier and produce more NO2 into the air.
Do diesel trucks have more torque and
towing power?
Yes, diesel trucks offer much more torque
to generate wheel power for towing and hauling and have higher levels of towing
capacity, which is why you'll see lots of them around job sites and professions
where you need your truck to carry heavy loads.
