* Torque ratings vary: Manufacturers use different testing methods and may not always publish all torque figures (e.g., some might only list peak torque, while others might list torque across a range of RPMs).
* Constant updates: Truck models and engine specifications are frequently updated. A truck with the highest torque today might be surpassed tomorrow.
* Modifications: Heavily modified trucks can easily exceed the torque output of any stock vehicle.
However, consistently high-torque contenders usually come from heavy-duty pickup trucks and commercial trucks with large diesel engines. Brands like Ram, Ford, and Chevrolet/GMC often compete for the title, with their heavy-duty models (e.g., Ram 3500, Ford F-350, Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD, GMC Sierra 3500HD) usually having the highest factory torque figures in the pickup truck segment. Within these brands, specific engine options (usually high-displacement diesel engines) will determine the ultimate torque leader at any given time.
To find the current leader, you'd need to consult the latest specifications from each manufacturer's website. Automotive news websites and magazines also frequently publish comparisons.
