CHOICE of diesel engine power levels?

How about a CHOICE of power levels for the diesel engines? Maybe even a displacement choice if that is what it takes? A 2500 or 3500 that will spend its life hauling instead of pulling needs the capacity, but not the pulling power. I would rather have something with a little more efficiency through a smaller or "de tuned" engine and higher axle ratios. I would like to see the CHOICE of this being made available.
