Awww, man! Not this again!



Torque and horsepower go hand in hand, there is no one without the other. High torque at a certain RPM means high horsepower at that RPM.

What's important in a truck motor is a consistent torque curve throughout the RPM range; preferably one that has a strong low end and increases as the engine revs.

Horsepower is a measure of torque at speed. Torque without RPMs is useless, as it makes 0 horsepower. A mythical 1,000,000 ft-lb engine spinning at 1 RPM makes 190 HP. A 4.0L V6 out of a Ranger will pull harder than that 1,000,000 ft-lbs.

I think the 6.2 could be really great. I'm excited to see what the new VCT system can do for an engine that large. I've heard it will be more efficient than the outgoing 5.4L V8, and with over 400 ft-lbs and HP it should be an amazing engine. Far superior to the GM and Dodge gasoline HD offerings!
