<br />
<em>Wards Auto</em> has crowned its king of the 2011 diesel pickup engine crowd. The editors pitted the mills in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/ram">2011 Dodge Ram HD</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/super%20duty">Ford Super Duty</a> and the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/sierra">GMC Sierra Denali HD</a> against each other in one epic battle royale at the Robert Bosch LLC test track, and while each of the three oil-burners did a smart job of hauling payloads and the like, Wards clearly favored one above the rest. The publication said that the powerhouse 6.7-liter turbocharged V8 in the Super Duty was the clear winner, despite being the most expensive of the three engines.<br />
<br />
The editors chose the Ford over its competitors because of its ridiculous 800 pound-feet of torque, quietness and effortless towing, even though the 6.6-liter turbocharged Duramax V8 in the GMC produced faster 0-60 times in tests. Interestingly enough, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/16/pickuptrucks-com-2010-heavy-duty-shootout-and-the-winners-are/#continued">Pickuptrucks.com skipped the Powerstroke</a> in the Super Duty in favor of the Duramax Sierra. Given the obsessively thorough testing by Mike Levine and the rest of the Pickuptrucks.com crew, we're a little more inclined to agree with those results. Still, you know what they say about opinions and elbows.<br />
