My father's truck "lugs", (audible detonation, timing is almost entirely cut out by the computer), if I give it too much throttle at too low an RPM. Even if it does still accelerate. This generally happens at <2K, above that it does not happen under any conditions. I've held the throttle to the floor in top gear, with the engine spinning around 3K, and it would not accelerate further due to the grade, but it was not lugging.
