2016 Silverado 3500 - Ike Gauntlet Pull
Looks like the Chevy still outperforms the Ram on the time up the Gauntlet and more importantly outperforms in exhaust brake performance too. Link

So what have we learned from all of this other than these test are not real life that an experienced driver deals with out on the highways of America.
A more real video to view would be three instructional videos on how to operate a RAM, GM or Ford exhaust brake while descending a mountain pass with a load. And yes it does take a little knowledge and input from the driver to get the most out of these systems.
Note: Do I really care if the another truck and trailer got to the top 20-30 seconds faster when I am doing a 300-350 mile day on the road????? I don't think so! Try their test on the Grape Vine on I-5 in California with it's mad crazy traffic.
