The powerband is why. This is a high winding engine. They traded torque for HP further up in the powerband and as a result this means torque is lower compared to the HP. Think of it like this, the TQ is essentially the same as the 5.0L Coyote. I'm sure someone can explain it better and more technically accurate.
