Okay, before you get your "trucks are for towing" panties in a wad, realize many of us use our trucks for daily drivers and unloaded acceleration matters when choosing a vehicle. I've been lookin...

The fact of the matter is that if you mash any of the HD trucks to wide open throttle then you will be the fastest one off the line unless someone is racing you.
Good point but torque management muddies the waters. The higher HP truck should be faster. Problem with these trucks with massive torque though is you can't use it off the line without tearing up the tires or breaking parts. Even with traction control, there is only so much power you can put to the ground
An Audi Q5 TDI with 240 HP 420 lb ft is faster 0-30 than an SQ5 with 354 HP 347 lb ft. same transmission. After that, the SQ5 is long gone.
if I put my f350 in 4wd it doesn't even come close to slipping the tires on dry pavement. If the truck is loaded with 3500 lbs in the bed I'm quite sure it wouldn't slip the tires in 2wd either. I'm certainly not afraid of breaking parts.....why would they design a power train capable of putting 20,000 ft lbs of torque to a rear axle that can only handle 19,000 ftlbs? Or couple an engine capable of 900 ftlbs to a transmission that can only handle 800?
0-60 runs on dry pavement in 4wd. That's really useful. Your F350 doesn't have any kind of torque management or traction control?
