I find it interesting that the truck that is J2807 compliant, as we are constantly reminded, was pulling roughly 70% of its rating, was beat by a non-compliant truck that was pulling 90% of its rating.
Would like to see what the Ford could do with its 4.30 gearing.
Seems like everyone thinks a standard is a maximum. Standards are a minimum in performance. Standards can and typically are exceeded. The thing is, J2807 does more than acceleration. It also addresses startability and some braking. One has to question what the F-350 is not achieving that makes it unable to meet J2807 specs. So personally, I wonder why the F-350 isn't noted as J2807 compliant, however the F-450 is.
