That makes sense.

I've driven vehicles with over 30,000lbs over steep passes with less than 200hp. I wonder if there's a clear definition of what "underpowered" is or is it purely a personal point of view?

Believe me when I say something is underpowered, as from my Brazilian perspective I grew up around cars that would be deemed underpowered even in Europe or Japan. And you might have to agree with me that a 3-cyl 2.9L Diesel engine with only 67hp and nearly 145lb.ft. of torque, plus not being rev-happy at all, is somewhat underpowered for something like a C-20 or F-250.
