This is more power than semi's had in the 80's.
And these things are rated to tow 38,000 pounds if set up right. It's insane.

That is totally incredible, without a doubt.
I'm cursed to not like trucks, though. I have an F-150 for my work so I drive it quite a bit. Can even lease a new one and it's a complete write-off (Raptor if I wanted), but I can't even be bothered to go truck shopping so I'm just sitting here with my 2016 XLT Sport still. They do nothing for me. Throw a million horsepower at a truck and it's still just not that fun to me. I get sitting up high and all that is attractive to people, but not to me. It's just a tool/appliance - very useful and I absolutely need one, but it brings me no joy.
Cars, though, I obsess over. Watch hours of car reviews and first-person drives every week. My favourite are those ASMR night drives with a dude that doesn't even speak...just cruises around in a car I like.
