Agree with the previous posts about the lack of details on the down hill run with the Ram. They sure showed much more detail for the Silverado.

Then again perhaps this very lacking of information means the down hill run with the Ram was so ordinary, ho-hum uneventful that they just decided not to show more.

Like the feeling of the up hill run that felt ho-humm?

I guess you didn't heard the loud engine noise or it shifting into 3rd gear. Not that it is a bad thing but the rpms were showing in a higher gear so we get fooled very easy unless you focas on how it really is. I guess I like facts for every thing I do or ask about.

The driver felt like it was lumbering along, that was the ho-humm part. But he was surprised it was faster then the GM.

My truck likes 3rd gear pulling 6% grades at 55 or more. The noise is the huge fan keeping both the radiators cool so it can accomplish the 30K towing claim.

Brake temps at the end of the down hill run would be nice to know.
