There are at least two factors working against you in smaller pickups. Yes, you can get HP at a lower RPM, but you have to transmit it through a transmission is that often a slightly modified version of the same ones used on gasoline engines. If you put that much torque through it it would tear it up..
To develop that power at low RPM, means you would need a physically larger powerplant, which you pay dearly for in a limited space.
Also, the Big-Rig engines have a lot more coolant and iron surrounding the combustion chambers, which does help absorb the noises generated internally.
My '96 Cummins now has a noise insulation blanket package which I purchased from a California and helps considerably. Yes the newer 'common rail' system is much, much quieter.
