Question was asked abouit an older 7.3 Ford diesel and noted its rated power. I don't know if the OEM truck manufacturers exaggerate power numbers but I do know vintage motorcycles bumped up the horsepower rating every year on virtually the same engine. These numbers didn't look like reality as I have seen well tuned versions on a dyno. I know bike horsepower is taken at the flywheel for these numbers but my 6.0L claims 325 hp and 570 ft lbs of torque. The 2021 6.7 is at 475 hp and 1050 ft lbs torque. How the heck does this engine make double the torque of the 6.0L? Are the number exaggerated or reality? Not trying to start a horsepower war, just curious. I have plenty of power to drag my small fifth wheel down the road or up a hill... just curious.
