GM one-ups Ford and the New 2500HD Denali!!

The power ratings for the new Duramax Diesel have been released and let me just say, they are impressive to say the least.

About a month ago Ford announced the ratings for their newly designed 2011 Super Duty to rave reviews. Their diesel engine was listed at 390 horsepower and 735 lbs./ft. of torque. Very impressive numbers when compared to any 2010 diesel truck, but then along came the General.

The all-new Duramax Engine ratings have been released and sit at an impressive 397 horsepower and 765 lbs./ft. of torque. That is a 32 horsepower and 105 lbs./ft. of torque increase over the 2010 Duramax's. GM is also claiming (not official) that driver's could expect to see a fuel range of 680 miles (1095kms) highway on a full 36 gallon (137 liter) tank. So needless to say, the anticipation of the 2011 Duramax Diesel continues to build.
