I wish they didn't use the squished torque scale on these, but its pretty clear that, aside from a slight dip at 2k, the LFX makes plenty of torque down low & through the midrange. The 'curve' is nearly flat from ~2500 through 6500, and is above what looks like 260 ft-lbs that whole time. And they are going to be tweaking it to make a bit more.

I was about to reply but you answered it perfectly. Not calling out the person who left the comment, but I see people say that about this engine all the time. Yes it loves to rev, but it is plenty powerful and responsive lower in the rpm range.

The V6 has a great FLAT and broad torque curve. It may not have the torque curve of the 4.3 of course, but it is more than enough to handle this task.
