Yes and no: The Caterpillar is perhaps the most powerful dumper - not truck. Not possible to drive on road and it only looks like a truck. The frame/chassis is completely different. And in the "construction equipment off-highway category" on CAT's homepage.
The torque conversion is wrong. 4.745 ft.lbs. = 6,433 Nm 3,500 Nm = 2,581 ft.lbs
