You’ll only see a grade that long and steep once or twice on your camping trip so not that important to me. What’s important to me is the ability to merge into traffic and accelerate and make a pass of a slower vehicle. The Chevy accelerated 30 to 60 quicker something that is used daily on a camping trip. The Chevy also rode smoother and had a quieter cab with the engine fan coming on less times. The Ford with 30 more HP and 200 more ft lbs. I was not impressed. And what does that High Output engine cost something like 3 K more what a ripoff.
This whole thing is just a big pissing match.
I pretty much never put the pedal to the floor and I don't do drag races with the trailer attached (or not attached for that matter)...so I don't care much about acceleration.
Being able to match or beat the semis on grades is generally good enough. Not many grades that are long enough that I care if I have to slow down to 50mph (while the trucks are doing 35mph).
