>more torque
Not if the gas engine is the same sieze and manifold pressure.
>more mileage
Depends on your driving profile.
>more reliable
That depends on the manufacturer, there are some gas toyotas with over a million kilometers driving around.
>more masculine engine tone
They sound like shit, also they can´t rev higher than 5000rpm and don´t make much power.

nope, german
>towing
Towing with electic cars is the best, you don´t need to shift and always have a huge amount of power when needed.
I don't, but there are cases where it's complete garbage.
>powerband
AKA I don't develop enough torque with my petrol so I have to rev a lot.
I work on them for a living and theres still a few reasons why they aren't in every car today
>parts are expensive
>people think they are nosier than gas engine
>people think they still smell like 80s diesels
>heavier
the main reason is because of what people think about them. they are better in almost every other aspect.
they even burn fuel more efficient and cleaner than a gas engine would which is why I'm surprised that the government hasn't hopped onto the idea of having a diesel engine in every vehicle in this day and age of making everything "more green"
> there are some gas toyotas with over a million kilometers driving around
do they have to fill their oil every two days?
if my Toyota even reaches over 100k miles I know I will have to fill the oil every week so it wont burn it all
also I forgot about people who live where it gets cold
>people don't like that they have to put fuel additives so their fuel wont jell up
>harder to get started when cold
I didn´t ask the drivers.
But my Toyota 1KR-FE engine doesn´t need much oil yet.
Maybe you shouldn´t have pushed your engine as hard when it hasn´t reached its operating temperature.
> cleaner than a gas engine
Is that why the exaust threadment systems in diesels are that complex?
Diesels don´t burn clean because of their heterogenic charge.
I can't afford the urea.
