I understand the whole torque vs horsepower issue, a lot better than many who post on it. But there comes a point when lack of horsepower is the determining factor.

And RAM agrees with you. The 5.7 V8 has less torque peaking at much higher rpms, but much more HP than the EcoD. And it's rated to tow more because of it.
It's a North American consumer thing, where HP is king. The ability to pass at 75mph and WOT is considered all important, even, or especially, when towing an 8000# trailer.
