So now you have a truck with the same HP and 2/3 the torque of a Big Rig over the road tractor.
Have they- Ford-Dodge-Chevy increased the braking ability? Not with an exhaust brake, but with brake rotor diameter, larger calipers, stronger pistons in the calipers, etc? So you can tow 32000 lbs, but can you stop it? According to the SAE J2807, the truck only has to stop 3500lbs.
