According to a

Jalopnik

report, the new

2019 Chevrolet Silverado

turbodiesel will have 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. The information comes from a leaked document that was anonymously forward to

Jalopnik

. A

Chevrolet

spokesperson has confirmed to

Autoblog

that “the numbers are accurate.”

The

Ford F-150

with the

3.0-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel

has a claimed 250 horsepower at 3,250 rpm and

440

lb.-ft. of torque at 1,750 rpm. As of right now, the

Ram 1500

does not yet have a

diesel

option available (we expect one soon), and

Nissan

only offers a V8 turbodiesel on the

Titan XD

. Thus, the Silverado turbodiesel will be the most powerful light-duty diesel on the market when it’s formally introduced.

For further comparison, the

Chevrolet Colorado’s

2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel makes 181 horsepower at 3,400 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm. Ram’s last 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine spun out 240 horsepower and 420 lb-ft. There’s a good chance Ram will boost its diesel V6 a bit when it’s reintroduced, which could happen later this year.

Jalopnik’s report

further suggests that the 3.0-liter turbodiesel will cost $2,495 more than the 5.3-liter V8 and $3,890 more than the 2.7-liter turbocharged four. That’s the same surcharge

Chevy

asks for its 6.2-liter V8 engine.
