your are pulling 55t thats your answer, this is trucks not race cars they dont go flying off, and certainly not with 55t on haul. hope it help you

although, to be honest, 750 horses in a Volvo, dragging 55t shouldn't be too much of an issue.
We got road trains in Aust pulling 90ton with 650 cummins, no problems. It all depends on your approach to the off ramp. Make sure you got some momentum behind you and hold the mid-range gears with both feet on the gas :)

I would check the other engines...torque range and so...sometimes the biggest engine isn't the best ;)

750hp will bring you nothing if the 600hp engine has more torque

and the right gearbox comes into play too

If you're just using mouse/keyboard to drive, set transmission mode to "Real Automatic". Turn off adaptive transmission in that mode.

You Seem to forget How steep the on ramp is some places, specially on old part of map. With that steep incline You cant get much power uphill. Not even with good torque and 55t load.
On side note crawler gears Wont bring You speed, They are High pulling, but no speeed gears, They get You going, but not like racecar.

Since all truck engines pretty much have the same usable rpm range, the one with more power will also always have more torque.

For example the FH750 has 600hp@1200rpm, the FH 650 has 530hp@1200rpm, so the 750 must have more torque (3550 vs 3150Nm).
