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.)
Forum Discussion
The more important power becomes. Torque is a nothing number. 600ft lbs seems like a lot of torque, but at 1000rpms, its just over 100hp. I'm not sure how many times this correlation needs to be explained on one website. Horsepower, measured at any rpm, describes what the engine can do. And when passing and climbing, that extra 120hp is more than double the reserve power for passing or climbing.
This is the simple explanation of why tractor trailers are so damn slow. Even when not loaded. It's also the reason 1/4 mile calculators ask weight and horsepower..... and on and on
