I agree with your statement, but any vehicle that's improperly geared could have a problem in the snow. (or blow sand). Driving capabilities go a long way too.
Hopefully no one will build a motor for street use with 500 ft lbs of torque at idle... that could be a problem.

Very True. Back on the original topic, you want as much torque as your engine can make, now whether you can get it the wheels is a different story.
So, Koran...is there anything else you need to know about torque? Torque affects alot of things, including acceleration and overall "feel" of the power. Its hard to say just how much adding more torque to a specific vehicle will affect it, due to transmission / differential gearing.
