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.)

But choosing an engine that has more horsepower will definitely increase the force it will set you back in the seat
depending on how the "torque" is managed. I would be more interested in engine torque then horse power.
If HP puts you into the back of the seat, why doesn't it continue to put you there as the torque tops out while the HP continues to increase? (all engines have their torque peak, then flatten out, then drop off as their HP continues to increase)
HP sets you back in seat...? Lets compare a formula 1 race car has say 1000hp, to a small old school bulldozer with 50hp. That 1000hp aught to pull the wrinkles out of one's face (you would think anyways) but funny thing is that formula 1 race car can't get out of the pits on its own... it needs the pit crew to push it to get it rolling, so much for high horse power! :W
