WOW...haven't seen this but more than quite a few times...a 2015 Ford F450 with more HP and more TQ almost beating the 2014 Ram 3500 with less HP and less TQ to the top of the mountain when the Ford driver of the Ram 3500, "let off" on the throttle so the Ford could pass it:R MOST UNimpressive..
Since they highlighted this strip of road that I've towed on so many times that I couldn't count them, I'm now REALLY looking forward to doing the same test with my old beat up 13' 3500 truck with the Cummins/Aisin and 4:10...course, I will only be towing 16,200# up the side of that mountain, but I'm going to see if I can hit the speed limit before I get to the top....the last 3 miles @ 7% can slow the truck down, but I've had no issues maintaining a 60 to 65 mph speed towing my 5er up that part of I64 through the New River Gorge area...Going down it, the EB and T/H on in cruise control keeps me between 55 and 60 mph without touching anything.....
Congrats to Ford for bringing out a 2015 F450 with more HP/TQ and the 4:30 gearing and beating a 2014' Ram 3500 with again, less HP/TQ and the 4:10 gearing....oh, and a Ford guy driving the Ram truck.....great propaganda for those who are blind to the obvious...
