Without torque you can't have hp
Without RPM you can't have hp
You can't have RPM without torque
You CAN have torque without hp or RPM.
And what will you do with torque and no hp or rpm?
When you put your truck in park on a hill what's holding it still?
Friction.
HAHAHAHA!!! Friction is heat. The parking pawl in the transmission does not create heat, friction, or HP. It creates torque that is being applied opposite of the force the hill is creating which is torque applied. If the parking pawl does not hold and the truck starts rolling down the hill then the hill is making more hp than the parking pawl because then you bring in torque the hill is applying and adding RPM from the truck rolling.
When you put a travel trailer on the ball and the truck drops, you are applying torque. When you put WD on you are applying torque in the opposite direction. If your truck's suspension wasn't able to apply enough torque in the opposite direction the tt would put the ball on the ground. If the wd wasn't strong enough to apply the torque needed to transfer the load then it would not pick the truck back up. This is all torque and no hp and this torque is doing a job.
You can't be serious. You really don't understand the difference between torque and leverage?
You really don't understand that a lever creates torque. When you open a door, you are creating torque. When you drive across a bridge with your truck you are creating torque on the bridge. Yes when you drop the hitch of a travel trailer on the hitch the rear wheel becomes the rotational center point.
Here's a little write up with pictures.
Torque and Rotation
