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

TFL's method of testing really demonstrates how well these trucks drivetrains are engineered by the manufacturer.
Not really if you don't use the devices as the manufacturers intended. With these guys labeling themselves as a "truck site" then they should learn a bit more about the trucks they are reviewing and use the features of the trucks accordingly.
For example, what if they did an off road test between a Chevy HD Z71 with an G80 auto locker versus a Ford SD Fx4 with a selectable locker. In that test both trucks get stuck, but only the Z71 got out due to not having to touch anything with its auto locker while the Fx4 remained stuck because they did know to pull the 4x4 knob to engage the e-locker. The Fx4 could have easily have gotten out if they knew to engage the locker, but they didn't know enough to engage it. Now whose fault is that, the truck or the reviewer?
Same thing goes for the Ram test where only one more press of the EB button would have put them in the proper auto mode for keeping speeds down hills like the owners manual states yet they failed to do it. Whose fault is that, the truck or the reviewer?
