Torque Tuesday: Torque Leaders

Top Charting Factory Vehicles with the Highest Torque

When it comes to raw pulling power, you need TORQUE. This Torque Tuesday, we’re counting down the top 3 factory-built vehicles with the highest torque figures on the market today. Whether you’re towing, hauling, or just want bragging rights, these machines deliver serious muscle.

1. 2025 Ram 3500 Heavy Duty (High Output Cummins Diesel)

  • Torque: 1,075 lb-ft
  • Engine: 6.7L Cummins I6 Turbo Diesel
  • Why it’s top 3 in torque: The Ram 3500 remains a benchmark in the heavy-duty pickup segment, offering the highest available torque output for a consumer diesel truck (outside of Ford’s latest update). Its Cummins engine is renowned for durability, low-end pulling power, and consistent performance under load, making it a preferred choice for commercial towing and hauling applications nationwide.

High Torque Trucks

2. 2025 GMC Hummer EV Pickup

  • Torque: Up to 11,500 lb-ft (calculated at wheels, actual crank torque is lower but still massive for an EV)
  • Engine: Triple electric motors
  • Why it’s top 3 in torque: The Hummer EV redefines the torque landscape with its advanced electric drivetrain, delivering instant torque to all four wheels. While its marketed torque figure is measured at the wheels (and thus not directly comparable to diesel trucks), it represents the highest torque output available in a production EV, enabling exceptional acceleration, off-road capability, and towing performance. Its engineering showcases the future potential of electric propulsion in heavy-duty vehicles.

3. 2025 Ford Super Duty F-450 (High Output Power Stroke Diesel)

  • Torque: 1,200 lb-ft
  • Engine: 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel
  • Why it’s top 3 in torque: Ford’s Super Duty F-450, equipped with the latest high-output Power Stroke diesel, currently leads the segment for crank torque. This engine is engineered for maximum towing and payload capacity, featuring advanced turbocharging, fuel injection, and cooling technologies. Its class-leading torque not only supports industry-best towing ratings but also ensures sustained performance and reliability for demanding commercial and recreational use.

High torque isn’t just about numbers—it means real-world capability for towing, hauling, and dominating the road or trail. Want to experience serious torque for yourself? Contact Torque Motorsports to explore upgrades, test drives, and custom builds that put power at your fingertips.
