Torque is the product of compression and diesel fuel burning characteristics. Also, the term "better powerband" is not really accurate.

Gassers make great tow rigs. However, at the RPM that most of them would be required to run to put the most power to the pavement, they don't lend themselves well to being fuel efficient.
Remember, not every trailer is required to be pulled in a competitive environment either.
