According to this calculator:
Horsepower calculator
If the Ford weighs 8600 lbs and accelerates from 0-60 in 8 seconds it has about 440 engine HP.
If the Duramax weighs 8600 lbs and goes 0-60 in 8.74 seconds it has about
390 HP.
And if the Ram weighs 8600 lbs and goes 0-60 in 10.2 seconds it has about
320 HP.
There is no way that these trucks vary this much in horsepower.
That calculator wouldn't include tq management. They can all make 500 hp and 1000 tq but if they have to dial it back in the first 2 or 3 gears, it's pretty meaningless.
