Nonsense - most of the trucks in the World are turbo diesels. I towed for
years with a Saab turbo (petrol) and never had a problem. Diesel turbos are
recommended for towing in Europe.

European turbo diesels are very performant compared to their size (for
tax
and petrol price reasons)

You should NEVER use a turbo for towing. Turbos are only ment for
intermittent operation - towing puts them into near continuous
operation, leading to premature failure.

Of course there will be those that disregard this claiming they have
never had a problem (you never do until you do).
