This should be good....
To be clear, I'm not looking to stir up drama. I'm a current GMC Dually owner, a 2004, and am in the market for a new TV.
From a styling point of view, I'm still a GM guy regarding current crop of 1 tons, and 23k towing capacity is more than enough for my planned rig, but I'd still like to know why it's ~7k lbs less than the competition when power is basically equal.
I would say its the gear ratio...maybe the one your looking at has 3.54 ratio or similar. It would probably need 4.10s to have the highest tow rating. I know when I was looking at buying a new Ram they had one with 3.73s on their lot with about 7K less towing capacity than one I ordered with 4.10s.
