My trucks are used for pulling. The hp level is only a small part of the equation that determine what a truck can pull. My Peterbilt is about 500 hp and does well with a gcw of 105,000 lbs. My 460 hp Ford handles a gcw of 39,000 lbs on occasion but if it was tuned I'd probably have to be careful with that combination. My 550 HP Kenworth hauls a gvw of over 90,000 lbs in soft ground without any problem at all and my 400 hp tuned Duramax struggles with a gcw of anything over about 18,000 lbs. I don't think giving more power to any of these trucks would make them more capable.
Pretty well sums up many people using MDT's and HDT's here but weights are considerably heavier than in the US.Comparison with a HD Pickup is pretty valid.
