V8s vs Inline 6, What is overall better for diesel trucks ... - Reddit

V6 vs V8? : r/Trucks - Reddit
2015年9月25日 · If you are looking at a mini truck (colorado/s10/tacoma) then a v6 is plenty.

Also, are you looking at brand spanking new or an older rig?

Deciding between a 2019 v6 and v8. : r/ram_trucks - Reddit
2022年3月12日 · Truthfully if you are that concerned about MPG you may want to reconsider getting a truck.
