The next time someone complains engine xyz doesn't have enough power to tow something, keep in mind a Pentastar V6 with an 8 spd ZF transmission can put down more power/ torque to the rear tires, and nearly any given road speed, than that big-block 460.
Mid tier engines like the 5.0 / 5.7 / 5.3 would run circles around the old 1 tons with 12,500 lbs hitched up.
