I was thinking of a 2023 Toyota Highlander but recently read that they are doing away with the 6-cylinder and using a new 4-cylinder turbo-charged motor.
The anti-lag system (ALS) is a method of reducing turbo lag or effective compression used on turbocharged engines to minimize turbo lag on racing or performance cars. It works by retarding the ignition timing and adding extra fuel (and sometimes air) to balance an inherent loss in combustion efficiency with increased pressure at the charging side of the turbo.
Diesel engines are typically well suited to turbocharging due to two factors: A "lean" air–fuel ratio, caused when the turbocharger supplies excess air into the engine, is not a problem for diesel engines, because the torque control is dependent on the mass of fuel that is injected into the combustion chamber (i.e. air-fuel ratio), rather than the quantity of the air-fuel mixture.
Schematic of a typical turbo petrol engine. The simplest type of turbocharger is the free floating turbocharger. [44] This system would be able to achieve maximum boost at maximum engine revs and full throttle, however additional components are needed to produce an engine that is driveable in a range of load and rpm conditions.

I am looking at a Chevy Silverado 3.0 turbo-charged diesel. I was wondering if there are any problems with these engines and how reliable they are?
Six-cylinder engines in passenger cars are disappearing. Except for luxury brands, mainstream cars increasingly don't offer once-mainstay V6 engines.
Engines fitted with a decompressor can also be stopped by operating the decompressor, and in a vehicle with a manual transmission it is sometimes possible to stop the engine by engaging a high gear (i.e. 4th, 5th, 6th etc.), with foot brake and parking brake fully applied, and quickly letting out the clutch to slow the engine RPM to a stop ...
[2] [3] [4] Power was significantly increased over the naturally aspirated engine, but reliability was poor and the production of this engine ceased in 1963. [5] [6] One month after the release of the turbocharged Oldsmobile, a turbocharged version of the Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 engine was introduced in the Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder. [5]
