Electric motors are capable producing otherworldly torque.
The problem here isn’t whether the motor could generate the requisite torque, but rather; could the frame and other components take the stress, and could the truck stop that much weight if it got moving? The answer to both questions is “no”.
I realize this, but towing capacity isn’t rated by what a vehicle can tow once, for a short period of time. If Ford, Chevy, and RAM decided they were going to use Tesla’s method for determining towing capacity then we’d have a whole shitload of trucks claiming 300k.

An internal combustion engine probably couldn’t budge 300k.
