Final thought from me, and then onward and awkward as I say. :B
But I have owned both vehicles in this test. My current Ram, and a 2011 version of the tested Ford. Both with 3:73 axle ratios.
The Ram does get slightly better fuel mileage. Not a huge difference, but yes, it is better.
And I've replicated conditions with both vehicles. Moved my son out to Washington state in 2012 and used the Ford to tow loaded U-haul out there. Now he moved back to South Dakota so last fall used my new Ram and another U-haul, moving the same stuff, back here.
If memory serves me right, I got about 1/2 to 3/4 of a MPG better with the Ram compared to my Ford with the exact same loaded trailer.
Ford was in the 13.5 range and Ram just at 14.0 or so.
Hey, I drive for fuel economy. :B
