Best truck package offering available for all??? Sure, like a 4.10 rear axle on either Ram or Ford so the engine turns a lot more revolutions per mile and then the Ram and Ford fuel guzzlers would have consumed 15%-20% more fuel than the GM! Further distancing the points given between the 3 for fuel economy. Just another hurdle popping up. Each time the cylinder fires it must have enough fuel to do so or there's NO combustion! Excess fuel consumed. Get it? It's not rocket science! I'll just bet both Ram and Ford would be so happy to have that guzzeling MPG fact displayed.

You're alluding to what I hoped others would catch. If you let each manufacturer configure the optimum tow vehicle, they will have to balance economy, drivability and performance. Maybe the highest drive ratio would not give the truck the best overall score even if it did dominate one test.
