Apparently the 2021 Cummins makes its peak torque of 1075 lbft at 1356 rpm. Are you still impressed?

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.
It would be interesting to see brake specific fuel consumption maps for the different engines. I think the Powerstroke was the leader for best fuel consumption for the 2020 models which must be about the first time ever... I've never been very impressed with my 6.7 Powerstroke's fuel economy. Maybe the '21 will surprise me. I will be surprised if the changes to the Cummins have much of an effect on fuel economy.
