Yes, better gearing will tow better. Glad you now understand!
And with enough gearing (10 spds), two engines of the same hp, one with double the torque, will perform IDENTICAL except right off the line.
I hope you understand that now.
I agree with you in principle but in every dyno test I have seen the diesels produce much more of their rated horsepower than the gas engines in the same vehicle. So, a diesel will frequently outrun a gas engine of the same rating. I haven't found any explanation for this and it is just a personal observation. It may have something to do with diesels being considered commercial engines being tested to a different standard.
