ML430 maximum torque In first gear low range the ML430 produces 8,562 lb / ft of torque @ 3000 rpm Each wheel receives 2,140 lbs/ft of torque   However, during take off the ML430 is able to produce 11,687 lbs/ft of torque. Per wheel that's a whopping 2,922 lbs/ft The MLs outstanding crawl ratio* of 64:1 in combination with the automatic's torque converter are responsible for this impressive result.   The torque multiplying action of the torque converter makes an automatic an excellent choice for maximum off-road power and an outstanding choice for anyone who has to tow heavy loads.     Mercedes-Benz ML320 255/65R16  Mercedes-Benz ML430 275/55R17   max engine torque 232 @3000 rpm  295 @ 3000 rpm   crawl ratio * 38 :1 / 71:1 **  33:1 / 64:1 **   torque @3000rpm low range 7,862 8,562 torque per wheel @3000 rpm 1,965 2,140   est. torque @ 1200 rpm low range 10,181 11,687   est. torque per wheel @1200 rpm 2,545 2,922 Sometime soon I will make the program available that created these numbers. * See what crawl ratio means.  ** Second ratio before torque converter lock-up A dyno test measures the actual torque available at the wheels, which might differ from the manufacturer's published data.
