Ram Eco-Diesel vs F150 2.7 TT - Davis Dam
You just know it's not gonna be close! So which is better? Horsepower or torque lol. (The answer is both, apparently.)

If I build an engine that puts out 1000 ft/lbs of torque and limit the RPM to 1000 how much HP does it produce
HP = t x RPM/5252
Horse power of your engine Turtle is 190.4hp. :)
Winner, winner chicken dinner. Now answer the second part of the question.
How well would a 1000 ft/lb 190 HP engine do in a TV towing lets say a 15K 5er up a 7% grade?
It would do really well, just not very fast.
Maybe it's ok for some but sub 30mph would not be my definition of "really well." :E If that's the case my 65 HP tractor would make a pretty good TV. :B
In some ways it would make a good TV but we can carry any example to an extreme. Personally I put a premium on power in the 1500 to 3000 RPM range where I spend over 95% of my time. I may pass another vehicle on a two lane road towing my trailer once a year if that, so the ability to do so just doesn't mean much to me. If others want to make a habit of it, that's up to them. I just hope I'm not coming the other way when they are.
