Mercedes Trucks do have a 155,000 mile powertrain warranty, a bit longer than what you get a Chevy or Ford, and Unimog has to hit the Euro VI emissions standards too, which probably play a role in engine tuning.  But we are comparing commercial truck to retail/personal use truck here.  The Merceds Actros has 3,000 lb-ft of torque, granted it is a 15.6 liter engine, but Mercedes has no problem making torque out of their engines.

Daimler is also the #1 commercial truck seller on this side of the pond too, they know trucks better than anyone.  Daimler invented the truck after all:

 

Blah Blah Blah Mercedes 7.7L is weaker than the much smaller displacement  Diesels. 

Shouldn't it be like 600hp/1200lb-ft of torque? They should get with the times already.

Yes...don't know if it would fit without major mods... a Power Stroke diesel Mustang would be interesting also (I think some of those have been swapped into modern Mustangs).  

With the more compact pushrod design, I doubt its much or any physically larger than the DOHC Coyote. 

This truck looks soooo good. And how tf is Ford able to recycle their design cues and not mess it up? This looks like a 2019 refresh of a 2010 truck...and yet it works! I don't feel it's stake! WTF. Cognitive dissonance....
