my truck came from the factory with 160hp/400lbtq when new and was the talk of the industry in the early 90's,
My prior truck with the 7.3 had 180hp with 338ft-lb. It did just fine pulling 9k lbs. Not the fastest but never worried about making it up the hills. And when we sold it at 300k miles, it was still just chugging along.
Yeah, having more HP is nice but at some point it's about bragging rights and does nothing for the average drivers towing experience.
