HP is great for a car but for towing, torque gets it done. I had a old Mack with a 350 hp diesel. It had about 1420 ft lbs torque. It was a little slow pulling 70,000 lbs up a 7% grade but it always made it. How fast do you think a high hp lower torque engine would do? Even a 850 hp Nascar engine? They would power out & stop.
