Torque? What were you smoking besides rubber fumes (Ahhhh, the smell when American muscle meats dry asphalt)????
2000 Ford 6.8l V-10, 310 horsepower at 4,250 rpm and 425 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm
Vs
2000 5.9 Cummins I6, Manual Transmission horsepower: 235 hp at 2,700 rpm torque: 460 lb-ft at 1,600 rpm
Sad thing is I remember the '87 Ford Crew Cab 350 Dually we had when I was in my late teens could have probably out towed both of them going up a hill with heavy trailer. It was putting out about the same numbers as the Cummins witha slightly higher RPM for max torque.
It had massive torque compared to any truck I had before it.
I got rid of it because it was WAY more truck than I needed.
The heaviest thing I ever towed with it was around 6K and it towed that effortlessly.
I dug around a bit and here is the boat right before putting it in the water, and my tires before $50 of rubber was removed.
