Much to my surprise Japanese Light Trucks are gaining momentum for pulling 26ft+ Travel Trailers

I don't doubt they can make that on a dyno, but unlikely to hold up at those power levels.
Even the Euro tractors with twin/compound turbos need 15L+ to make those torque numbers reliably. I'd leave it stock, we buy Japanese for reliability afterall.
Japanese very from 13 to 15 litres. top horsepower is 520hp
So...a standard, albeit derated, class 8 engine, then. 500hp is nothing unusual here...the single axle daycabs at work are over 400.
