I won't argue about .8L of displacement but
the old age rule of "no replacement for displacement" isn't necessarily
true anymore with diesels, especially with the modern turbos that
produce more torque at lower RPM. Really depends on the design and how
they operate. The Dodge Ram 1500 with the little 3.0L diesel is rated
to tow 9,200 lbs.

The Volvo diesels I had in the Navigator had higher horsepower but were
half the size of the DD6-71's in Wayne's GB.
Difference is, the Volvo's will be used for mooring blocks while his
DD6-71's are still pushing his boat around the oceans.
I was surprised that my FILs new cadillac only had a turbo 2l (gas)
He says it is as snappy as his old Northstar v8 but I know that can't
be right. He does move right along tho.

The wife's 3.0L has far more horsepower than the 8.2L in one of my
boats. Hers is 40 years newer.
