It's not bad for a V-6 gas engine.

My 6.2L V-6 NA Gas engine turns 175hp@3,400rpm & 388tq@1,800rpm.

My 6.5L V-8 turbo diesel only turns 190hp@3,600rpm & 380tq@2,750rpm.

So considering it giving a V-8 turbo diesel that is 33 years newer a run for it's money isn't to bad . . . but when ya figure in the 6.5 being the laughing stock of the turbo diesel world hard telling where this Gasser really rates.

But V-6 gas engine tows 22,000lbs of payload all day long no trouble at all only loses 7mph climbing the steepest of hill's . . .

The V-8 Turbo diesel struggles to tow 4,500lbs . . . 6,000lbs is the absolute max it'll tow and its a real interesting ride . . .
