Curious what you mean by this, it differs from what I've read, I've heard it described as having "diesel-like" performance, performing well while towing. Looking at the numbers, torque rating is 420 lb-ft @ 2,500 rpm and 90% of that is available from 1700 to 5000 rpm. HP is 365 at 5000 rpm. Looking at a dyno chart, guessing about 200HP or so at 3000 rpm (I'm guessing at the wheels?). From memory, I think the '94 'strokes had around 420 lb-ft or so max at least on the early ones, and something like 200+ HP maybe (I didn't look them up)? They towed decent, not inline 6 decent, but decent. I don't have one, but I have been considering one, never been around one, just what I read in the numbers and on other forums with people talking about them, so don't know much.
I don't have a diesel pickup, I hire all of my hauling done, so I get by with a 1/2 ton. I could really use one though, would be much handier, I know it would cost more, but could be justified. I have neighbors that haul with semis for cattle, other neighbors that have hay companies with trucks etc. so I have them haul that in. And another neighbor that has a triple axle livestock trailer that I hire for smaller loads (he has hauled over 20,000lbs for me in that trailer, so not ~that small of loads for a pickup). He has a Ram 3500 Dually Cummins, fairly new, don't know if it's a '12 or a '13. Most of the neighbors have a diesel pickup, the last few years, more Rams are turning up, used to be more Fords. Despite people saying Rams fall apart, these survive fine out here, in pastures and being worked, and they like them. Not many gas pickups around for pulling.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
