With diesels, it's not so much about power, as it is about torque. Diesels have gobs of it. My wife had a little Jetta diesel with 100 hp, but it felt alot more like 170-180 hp. Straight off the line, a diesel will probably outgun a gas engine of equal size. But the real difference comes in towing ability. Diesels have come a long way...no more smell and no more smoke.

So how does that torque transfer to towing ability?

How does horsepower is the question.

18 wheelers are only 350-550HP on average, but have gobs and gobs of torque for moving loads and keeping them moving at much lower RPMs
