4-wheel-drive FG model, feature the new 4M50 299-cu.-in. (4.9L) dual-overhead-cam,
dual-balance-shaft, turbocharged, intercooled 4-cylinder diesel engine. When
coupled to a Mitsubishi 5-speed manual transmission, this smooth-running 4-cylinder
is rated at 147 HP and 347 lb.-ft. of torque. With the new Aisin 6-speed automatic
overdrive transmission (available on FE models; standard on FE145 Crew Cab),
or Mitsubishi 6-speed manual transmission (standard on the FE180), its rating
jumps to 175 HP and 391 lb.-ft. of torque.
The FK and FM models use the 6M60 460-cu.-in. (7.5L) single-overhead-cam,
direct-injection, turbocharged, intercooled diesel. Running
through the Mitsubishi 6-speed manual transmission or optional
Allison electronic 5- or 6-speed overdrive automatic transmissions,
it is rated at 243 HP and 514 lb.-ft. of torque. Select the
optional Eaton 9-speed direct manual transmission available
on the FM330, and ratings increase to 274 HP and 593 lb.-ft.
