Well in terms of grunt I would mean pulling ability so it would be torque !
surely power is not that much of an importance as the torque, I am aware
that they go hand in hand, but is not the torque the important one in terms
of being able to tow, say 2 plus tons on most road conditions, I am not
after performance just to cruise at about 60 ish with a trailer but when it
comes to a hill would prefer to not to change down several gears as I use to
have to do in it when it had the 3.5 V8 and then crawl up it doing 30MPH
