Not that this has anything to do with my previous post, which was obviously way over the heads of some members here, but how do you figured they "dumbed down" the test? I can only assume you are talking about making them all run the same rear gear? By making all the trucks as close to identical as possible, it makes the testing even more accurate. It was about as close to "apples to apples" as you will ever get for real world testing.
Denial is not just a river. :)

I am not denying any of the results. Maybe how they did a couple. If you are going to see what a one ton dually can do why not test the best they have to offer. I understand why they did what they did but so far no one has commented on how the test would have turned out with them all offering their best performer.

Kind of like when they dumbed down the fire fighters tests they had to pass because of what females can contribute. Maybe not the best comparison but close.

My take on it is that they wanted to take out the arguing over who had an advantage because of, well, anything that would be an advantage, such as different gearing. They made it as heads up as possible for equal testing. Really can't even speculate on how the tests would have turned out had all the trucks been different. Maybe fun to talk about, but it would all be guess work without another test to actually prove anything out.
Not gonna touch the fire fighter comment......
