What jump starter do I need for a diesel pickup?

Match the maker's diesel rating to your engine. Heavy-duty pickups with 6.6 or 6.7 L diesels need a starter rated for at least 7.0 L diesel, such as the NOCO GB150, or the GOOLOO GP4000, which is rated for 10.0 L.

Is 2,000 amps enough for a truck?

Peak amps alone do not tell you. NOCO rates its 2,000 A GB70 for gasoline engines up to 8.0 L and diesels up to 6.0 L, while Fanttik rates its 2,000 A T8 APEX for gasoline up to 8.5 L. Use the engine rating.

Which truck jump starters can run a tire inflator?

Of these, the NOCO GB150 and GB70 have a 12 V, 15 A output. The Boost X models and the Fanttik T8 APEX do not.

We picked these from the makers' own engine ratings, given separately for gasoline and diesel. Peak amps are measured differently by each brand, so we do not rank on them. Our engine-size guide explains the rule.

The common trap with trucks is the diesel. Heavy-duty pickups use diesels of about 6.6 to 6.7 L, so you need a starter rated for at least 7.0 L diesel, such as the NOCO GB150 (paid link). Gasoline V8s up to 8.5 L are covered by the smaller and lighter GBX75. In a hard winter, choose one size up.

Only the NOCO GB150 and GB70 here have a 12 V output for running an inflator; the Boost X models and the Fanttik charge devices over USB-C.
