OK. Speed? That's OK, but not really a concern since you shouldn't take your TM over 65 mph. Torque? That's more important, since it talks about how fast you can merge into traffic. But how about stopping capability? How about maneuverability in an emergency? How about rear axle load capability (GAWR-R)? Air bags or helper springs don't change this one, by the way. How about hitch weight?

We've talked about all this before, and though horserpower and torque get all the attention, don't forget the others - they are important, too.
