Chance, I agree that HP is going to show better in acceleration etc. but torque is more important for hauling weight, especially on uphill grades. Torque won't get you impressive 0 to 60 numbers, but will give that steady pulling power. My previous DP was rated at 1250 pounds of torque. Towing the car behind that MH was imperceptible, only way to know it was even there, was visually through the rear camera. The Gemini, does a credible job of towing the HHR, but I certainly can feel it back there. Since towing the car puts it very close to its GCWR I have no plans to tow any distance, or over mountains.
