'15 Ford F450 vs RAM 3500 HD Extreme Towing Review

It seems like the Ram should be calling their 3500 a 4500 because of their desire to tow 30,000 lbs. That is a big load for a so called 1 ton truck. Of course it would mean no more whining from some guys.

So Larry, who's doing the whining? Which "guy's" are you targeting? I Have to admit, I don't think I've ever seen a Chevy D/A owner/crowd whining, they really have no reason to:)( unless one wants to bring up all the many, many recalls, but that wouldn't even stop me from purchasing another Chevy D/A truck)...But the lowly, "bottom of the barrel" Ram , manufacturers a great truck, worthy of praise and the Dodge/Ram guys come out in the open feeling good about it and they get slammed for finally getting a chance to brag on something...THEN, to "1 up" them, Ford throws a not in production yet, 2015 Ford 4500 with far more HP and slightly more TQ against a 14' Ram 3500 and we're not allowed to "whine" because of the difference in vehicles, no matter what the weight towing capacity is?

Guess it sounds fair to some, depending on how much one is loyal to the brand they drive and don't want others to feel good about what they own...It's a "win-win" for Chevy D/A, in my opinion, no matter outcome of test, it's a "win-win" for Ford due to the Ford test put on by Ford and both trucks driven by Ford employees, but, it appears it's a "lose-lose" for Ram owners, no matter what...if we brag, we get slammed, if we whine, we get slammed...kinda sad, I'm seeing it from a Dodge/Ram owners perspective now and have to admit, it makes me a stronger Ram advocate because so many Chevy/GM and Ford owners can't seem to stand Ram's little bit of glory for doing as well as they seem to be at this time in the light truck market...

...but as a buddy of mine states:, "Such is life as we know it":)
