Eli5: Why cant trucks accelerate as fast as cars?

Question

For example:
Model 3:
Weight: 3,000lbs
0->60mph: 3.2 sec
Torque: 376lbft

Ram 3500:
Weight: 7,000 lbs
0->60mph: 10 sec
Torque: 660 lbft

I see that the weight doubles, but so does the torque. And the acceleration is roughly 3x’s as slow.

Answer 1

Torque doesn’t necessarily mean more speed. Weight is a huge factor here. Also trucks lack rear end weight. This will effect traction when performing a launch. Theres a lot more going on than just the specs of a car. Technology plays a huge role. Also the drive train, how the weight is distributed, turbo vs NA vs SS, and more. Comparing specs isn’t going to tell the whole story.
