GM fast one-ups Ford with 2011 Duramax diesel motor fuel ratings, shows off GMC Sierra Denali HD
Not even a month ago, during the finish of the post upon the 2011 Ford Super Avocation engine specs, you wrote: “General Motors, there’s a large ass ball in your justice.” Someone during GM has apparently grabbed their large donkey pole and pronounced, “Oh, WE got this…”, then smacked a ball right back into play. The Ford’s measurements 390 horsepower, 735 pound-feet of deepgrown. The General has just voiced that the 6.6-liter Duramax turbo diesel motor fuel has 397 horsepower as well as 765 lb-ft. of torque, the jump of 32 horsepower as well as 105 lb-ft. over the prior Duramax.
THE closer look during the numbers does reveal some give-and-take, however. The Ford’s limit tow rating is 21,600 pounds, while GM’s is 20,000 pounds. As well as while not just engine related, the Ford lorry additionally has a higher max cargo than a GM twins. Still, a RenCen pickups take a power crown, as well as the brandnew Duramax is some-more fit than a previous one – GM didn’t put a specific mileage series to it, but claims 680 miles of mainroad starting possible from the 36-gallon tank. You’ll find GM’s press release upon a new engine after a burst.
In associated news, GM has expelled the initial image of its GMC Sierra Denali HD pickup, automatic and sheetmetal twin of the Chevrolet Silverado HD. There’s an one more press recover after the jump for it as well.
So… anybody else wish to take the swing at that even bigger ass ball?
