jerem0621,
Sir, I am a retired automotive engineer with 40 years experience in automotive engineering and had owned an automotive engineering business for many decades and that's where my words of explanation come from. Again, without torque there would be NO turning of the drive wheel and therefore, no motion or movement or work done. Max torque in modern aotomotive engines is normally around 1/2 of the max engine RPM where the HP calculation is derived from. A vehicle engine in it's normal driving RPM range carrying a load is near it's max torque rating. Revving the engine higher for a higher HP calculation means you then have to use a gear reduction/torque multiplier to gain working force. You do not normally drive a vehicle at max engine's RPM's. Only 2 things are actually measurable in an engine's output. That's RPM and torque force. This forum and this thread is about RV'ing which means carrying or pulling a load. Hence, rv.net forum.
I was trying to help you not diss you. I cannot control how you interpet any information you read written on any post.
