Torque charts are nice but just remember that's at full throttle and maximum boost while consuming maximum fuel. Not something you encounter when towing down the highway.
For me what's more important is the torque the engine can make while towing and making the towing the easiest while making the best fuel economy. This is very difficult to quantify except for the fuel economy performance. In my mind the Power Stroke is the leader in this category for the 2020 models and I suspect will continue to lead for the 2021 models.
Who really cares if one truck or the other tows up the Ike 12 seconds faster or slower than the other ones. All three are not your grandfather's truck anymore. Buy what turns your crank and enjoy it.
12 seconds isn’t much but I think the 2020 Ram was about a mile behind the 2020 Powerstroke. It might not matter but it kind of put the Powerstroke in a league of its own. I think it would be nice to see the 2021 close the gap a bit.
