Ah then I did miss it, thanks. This just goes back to the old misunderstandings about torque vs hp. All 3 powertrains have similar horsepower = all 3 powertrains will perform similarly. The difference being the 3.0 (and the 2.0 to a lesser extent) having more available power at first gear speeds.It shows what you are referring to. Take 25 MPH for example: the 2.0 will have 500# more force than the diesel, because the 2.0 is in 1st gear while the 3.0 is in 2nd gear.
I should note that those power numbers are estimates, not from an actual dyno.
And bringing back to topic, the same affect happens when regearing. More power available to the wheels in first gear speeds and a 50:50 mix of more and less power available to the wheels at other speeds.
