What is a V8? Simply put, V8 engines have eight cylinders mounted in two sets of four, compared to six cylinders in a V6. V8s smoothly produce more power and provide acceleration at a faster rate. However, due to the V8s additional cylinders, these engines consume more fuel than the V6.

Straight six advantages Firstly, like any in-line engine, straight sixes are a nice, simple design. With no cylinder offset, manufacturing costs are low and there is no need for separate heads or valvetrains like in a V-configuration. The biggest advantage however comes through engine balancing.

We primarily advocate choosing V6 engines in pickups when you’re focused on fuel economy, city driving or light-duty use, which is the way that most shoppers use their pickups. Primarily, we’d choose a V8 if you often tow and haul and if the truck you’re considering doesn’t offer a turbocharged or diesel engine option.
