And what makes it a truck-like powerband? Pretty sure 4600RPM peak TQ is not how truck engines are tuned. The lower the better is the rule in truck engines, hence the popularity of diesels with peak TQ occurring under 2000RPM. Even with gas truck tuning, the difference is still the same with GM/Ford variants. GM variants making peak TQ 500RPM lower, and Ford 400RPM lower than their respective Camaro/Mustang variants. So from a TQ band perspective, the LT1 and Coyote are just as different in power delivery than their truck variants. It is only the actual peak TQ numbers that are different. And that is due to displacement as we all know.
