Searching in google, I did find some specs on the W123 300TD turbo. It should be able to pull a 3500lb trailer up an incline of around 14-15 degrees- better than my Volvo 740T, primarily due to a lower 1st gear.
You seem to be forgetting the purpose of a torque converter, which is to multiply torque. I'm guessing the real thrust could easily be 170-200% of your calculations.
