If that truck can pull 25000 pounds of hay up the hill at 70mph, then the BMW can too if it has traction, because it has more power. It just probably doesn't do it efficiently. The choice of a bigger, torquier engine is made when the anticipated operating loads are high, so it doesn't have to spin as fast to give you the same power.
