Never said a 6.7L could pull 100 tons or that it had the power of the 16L. The picture you posted was of a Mercedes Astro being used to pull a trailer that our class 3 trucks generally pull here. Our pickup truck diesels like the Ram CTD(400hp) Ford PSD(475hp) and the GM L5P(445hp) are rated at higher horsepower than the 326hp base engine power leveled Mercedes OM 470 Actros. That is a fact.
It is not a " Astro"", it is an Actros, the base engines belong to a smaller Axxor. I posted a Class 8,that Hauls effectively very large 43ft, fifth wheels, having more stability towing and turning circles than a Class 3 , otherwise they would be using Class 3 Pickups for large 5th wheels and toy haulers, these will never pull 100 tons, are less capable( stability, turning circle, towing, ride) than a Class 8 truck. You have a fixation with horsepower, torque is peaky and less than half than that in a Class 8 with Class 3's
Mercedes Actos shown pulling the 43ft 5 th wheeler had a 600hp engine. Actros now come with 650hp engines
