why do pickup truck manufacturers engineer their engines’ peak power so high in the rpm range?

856 views

Im in the market for a full size gasoline pickup for towing and hauling. Doing ALOT of homework, and most of the different truck brands have power bands at around 4000 rpm. (Lowest was ecoboost @3500) That seems awful high? Wouldnt you want to engineer the power band closer to 2500-3000 rpm where most tow rigs cruise at highway speeds for the sake of fuel efficiency?

HP vs Torque. HP is how hard you hit the wall, Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
