The higher the peak torque, the more powerful the truck will be when it comes to hauling heavy loads or towing trailers. It also affects the truck's ability to climb hills and maintain speed on inclines.
Peak torque is usually achieved at a specific engine speed, which is known as the "torque peak". This is the point at which the engine produces the most twisting force. The torque peak is typically reached within the lower to mid-range of the engine's RPM range, and it is important to keep the engine within this range when using the truck for heavy-duty tasks.
Factors that affect peak torque include engine size, displacement, and design, as well as the type of fuel used and the turbocharging or supercharging systems.
When shopping for a truck, it is important to consider the peak torque rating along with other factors such as horsepower and towing capacity to determine the right truck for your specific needs and applications.
