My Tundra had more horsepower than my Cummins but only 1/2 the torque, ie 400 ft lbs compared to 800
Comparing turbocharged to non turbo charged engines is apples and oranges.
How about this one.
5 Cylinder Audi 2.5L turbo DI gas that is in two models that you can buy off the showroom floor with full warranty
Torque 354 lb ft from 1700 to 5850 RPM
HP 400 from 5850 to 7000 RPM
To match the Audi's output per litre, your Cummins would have to make 948 lb ft and 1072 HP.
That said, the Audi is designed to go fast, not to tow.
