I will give anyone here who claims torque is more important than horsepower one million dollars if he can answer this simple question with a hard number: how much TORQUE is required to pull a 14,000lb load up a 5% grade at 60MPH?
The answer, of course, is that the torque number is irrelevant. Horsepower (and gearing to apply it properly) determines the speed up a grade, not torque.
