Gotta love the gearing. I've done some modifying on my '90 yota flatbed to add another reduction box for a total of 15 speeds.
Now my 2. 4l gas motor makes over 5000 FT LBS of torque at idle in its lowest gear. Unfortunately I can't go highway speeds with that gearing, but it sure is fun on the rocks!

Well. If you think that 80 000 lbs is a lot of pulling power. Well in Sweden the trucks can with ease pull 140 000 lbs. And fin fast. The swedish truck marker Volvo holds the record fore the heviest pull by a singel truck (100 meters) wich was 1. 65 million lbs or 750 tones.

I'm a truck driver myself. Im driving a 2019 peterbilt 579 ultraloft. Just wanted to say the 609hp is the performance model x15, whereas the common efficiency model puts out 455hp and somewhere around 1500tq I'd say. This truck I have does the job well regardless

So what about an engine swap? 15L cummins in a F150 or something?
I think any smaller car would waay too small to fit the engine and transmission.
Maybe you can use the space in the back of a big pick up truck to fit such a giant

This video had a very general overview on an 18wheeler and little to no specific information on what separates the peterbuilt 579 Ultraloft from a kenworth or freightliner or even a peterbuilt 389.

Hi guys, just one remark, the engines shown dropping into the chassis around 9. 10 are actually Peterbilt/Kenworth's own engines (not Cummins) called the Paccar line of engines. Great video though.
