I believe both trucks were wide open and both used the lie o meter for the fuel mileage. A lot of dumb talk from guys that might never drive their trucks in that manner. Just sayin

When I hit a steep grade it's pedal to the metal baby! Does that mean i'm a smart one?
I don't think I have ever had the pedal to the metal.

Engine: USA Hurrahh
Tranny: Japan Fail
Truck: Italy Fail

So who will post the results on Wed?
That trailer is a jewel... We have one of similar size but not as nice.#40Fan wrote:

That is a beauty of a trailer!
I will say RAM wins. Then they can hype the new Ford against RAM later for a bit of drama to get subscribers.
I'm sure the RAM will score some points because of its soft touch material on the window sill! :B
Without the soft touch the RAM would have been 30 seconds behind.
And perhaps would have rode smoother too...
I have to say the RAM window sills are not deep enough for me since I like to rest my arm on it. The 90's Chevy's were the same and I hated that aspect about them.
My Super Duty has plenty of room to rest my arm and love it. It's all in the details.
So you have been lurking at the RAM dealerships????
I have to say the front of my 15 does not ride as smooth as my 11 did but it has a MUCH stronger front suspension with a higher payload than the 11 or the F350. I think I will throw a set of Bilstien's on the 15.
I test drove a couple of '12 models and then drove a few '13 models when they started hitting the lots. Each and every time I drove these RAM's I appreciated the larger space and the layout of the Super Duty trucks.
I couldn't imagine the '15 riding rougher than the previous trucks since the '12 I drove rode rough as hell and was one of the main reason for those trucks getting a pass. I thought the '13 rode a bit better.
