I'd be just as happy with a 250-300 hp 550-600 lb ft torque diesel that nets me over 20 mph or right about there for a typical 8600-9900 gvwr twuck! Not sure it is going to happen with a 500/1000 motor. THat is in the range of some class 8 tractors hauling 80-100K lbs around at one time. Probably a min power out put today....but still...........

Blt2ski, almost agree , maybe just over 300 hp and about 650 to 700 lb. ft. of torque.
There are many that that get more than 1,000 lb. ft. of torque, but not likely going to go 500,000 to 1,000,000 miles.
I see a Cummins reaching 1,000 lb. ft. at about 500 hp, don't know if we will see too soon, but then again.
If that happens a single speed trannie will be all that is needed.
