..Don't know much about Ford...owned Chevy trucks from 1975 thru June of 2010...great trucks...somehow ended up with a 2010 Ram 3500 Cummins Dually and been hooked...Sounds like Ford has the "other 2" right where they want them....Oh well, I'll go with the #3 Ram...as I stated at the start of this thread..if I wanted to be first to the top of the mountain,I'd went with a Chevy D/A combo...and my trucks under the "old ratings" anyway, being a 13' model...only has a GCWR of 37,500# and a GVWR of 14,000#...so it's not under the new ratings system...but it'll do what I need it to.:)
My point is not to say one brand is better than the rest. After all I own a Ram 2500 and an F150. Although owning the Ram has to do with my loyalty to my old employer(Cummins) and the fact that I know that engine like the back of my hand. I also get less expensive parts than others would get or then I would get going with anything other than a Cummins. My main point is this whole e-peen competition just for the right to be able to say they are "best in class" is senseless. I believe all the current DRW trucks are capable of towing in the 20k to around 25k range within acceptable ranges which is where 99.9999% of the owners of DRW are probably towing or less so why lower standards just to say you can tow more is beyond me.
EDIT: I just found out that TFL just posted the F350 Ike Gauntlet video towing the same trailer. TFL Truck 2015 F350 Ike Gauntlet
