Turns On-Ramps into Drag Strips
More Power Right Now
Launch Your Truck
"Torque Response" is engineering-speak for get-up and go power. And, even fully loaded, the Detroit Diesel engines launch you up the on-ramps. A test-fleet driver with 20 years experience said, "It's like being in a jet."
Up to "Bonus" HP with Turbo Compounding
Get an extra kick of up to 50 "bonus" horsepower without spending an extra drop of fuel. It's called turbo compounding, and no other engine in North America has it. It works by converting a little heated exhaust, and feeding its power straight into the drivetrain. And that extra kick increases fuel mileage up to 5% at road loads.
“You push it down and you feel yourself physically being pushed back into your seat. You can feel it... like being in a jet.”
The Widest Torque Curve in the Industry
With a torque curve as wide as Wyoming, Detroit Diesel’s flat-out pull. The power's there all the time so you won't be grabbing around for gears on little hills or gusty highways. And down at 1,000 RPM, it'll still push you back into your seat. That means you'll get a punch off the line.
Multi-Torque
Reducing engine rpm will increase your fuel economy, but you need to increase torque to maintain equivalent performance. Detroit Diesel's multi-torque options allow customers to save money by lowering engine RPM and maintain performance with a multi-torque rating.
