James,

I haven't heard the Verado so I can't compare.
For me, it is not the sound level so much because I just switched to a Diesel truck.
A diesel truck is obviously loudly than a gas engine.
The difference for me is the overall performance and fuel consumption of the two stroke vs. the four stroke.
Also for me is the complicated machinery that the 4 stroke has.. The 2 stroke is simple. There isn't anyone that can argue that fact. The two stroke is simple compared to the four stroke .. Period...

I have never been sold on the four stroke... Just me maybe... But why complicate things when you don't have to? E-Tec seems to have reassured that premise....
