Technologically...sort of...I mean semi engines have been able to beat that for many years.
In practical terms, once you can drag a 20k lb trailer up a steep grade without losing any speed or the engine struggling...it becomes mostly about who bought the bigger codpiece.
Our trucks still can't tow a 20k trailer up a steep grade at 65 mph. I can pull my 16k trailer up a 7% grade at about 50 mph with my 2017 Powerstroke.
