No, Truck engine's must haul or pull much much much more than car engines and therefore they have to be more powerful, and engine that is more powerful than another must be bigger
trucks are much heavier than cars and also have much bigger engines resulting in more fuel being burned
Trucks are louder than cars because of the bigger engine and more space for the sound waves to travel in, and the torque on a truck is considerably bigger with a bigger exhaust to compensate for it, which all results in a louder sound.

Type of combustion is determined by the engine, not the fuel. Intermittent or reciprocating engines such as those found in cars and trucks can run on diesel. Gas turbines AKA jet engines can also run on diesel however they are continuous combustion engines. The answer to your question depends on the type of engine you have in mind. If it has pistons then it will be intermittent.
An internal combustion engine is an engine where the fuel combustion happens inside a combustion chamber. There are both Reciprocating and Rotary engines that fall into this category. Most cars on the road today use internal combustion engines. An example would be the V-8 Hemi engines that Dodge puts in their trucks.
Trucks are heavier and tend to carry more.
