The examples with the pick up trucks is a bit of a trick question. If you knew the gear ratios (as he did on the CBR250R forum) and multiplied through from the engine torque you would see that at that moment the rear wheel torque would be the same in all three gears even though the gears are different and the rpms are different.
.
And from the acceleration chart I can see that I got sidetracked and that acceleration will be increased with increasing rear wheel torque even though that rear wheel torque will average higher when shifting either side of the power peak of the engine. Not the torque peak of the engine.
