> [@chrismats gifts?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/chrismats-gifts/38721/25): > > Well comparing towing capacities is like comparing apples to oranges. There isn’t really much that can be compared between the two other then power figures… You realistically cannot compare power levels either. One is tuned for powering around a 2500lb car whilst maintaining reliability, the other is tuned for powering around an 8000lb brick + its rated towing capacity without burning down the house from excessive EGTs etc. Tune the duramax for the same max weight as the tdi and see which makes more power. This is why the durmax picks up so much power on a tuner alone, they’re detuned so they stay together while being a workhorse. this is also why a tdi only picks up 20-40hp max from a tune. ---

No I don’t really care. You have your opinion and brand of choice and I have mine. Also the TDI pulling the jet on a flat runway doesn’t really prove anything. To use a similar example a train that requires 3 locomotives rated at 6000 hp each to move it down a mainline that has 3% grades can be moved by a switch with only 4000hp in a yard that has level track. It’s a cool PR stunt by VW but its about the same as when they took a chevy dually and used it to tow a loaded up semi and excavator combo on truck years ago. Yes it can do it for a short period of time, but it definetly won’t hold together if you do it regularly. ---

well this thread turned in the direction i was expecting it to haha, anyways i like tdi’s and duramaxs and powerstrokes, in fact i love all diesels. personally i feel as if the euro diesels ( vw/benz) were lightyears/pioneers in diesel technology then say gm/ford diesels… for instance, common rail injection, electronic injection, variable vane turbo technology… etc etc ---

As far as which is better at what it’s a crap shoot. I’ve worked on and drive larger vehicles with benz motors and they are well made, but expensive to buy and maintain compared to domestics. We could have this discussion/arguement over and over again. Personally I like cummins over the other options, because they are the most reliable in the long run in my experience. A good example is my truck 187k miles/ 15 years and nothing but fuel and oil filter changes. Yes I should adjust the valves and check timing but she still runs great.
