I don't know but it seems to me that these 0-60 times are not representative of the truck's horsepower...... the difference in time is too great. I think the The tow time up the mountain is likely going to be too small to be a proper representation of the power differences as both Ford and GM will likely have their maximum speed limited by the speed limit.
If you are trying to calculate and estimate HP. A quarter mile run with trap speed will probably prove more accurate. Zero to 60 has too many variables. An extra gear shift to reach 60 would make a big difference, etc.
I also think the rate at which the fuel is delivered to the various engines, as controlled by the fuel management software, must play a huge role in the 0-60 times. My 03 Duramax, with a high performance tune downloaded, takes off from a brake assisted launch like a bat out of hell.....smoke rolling off the wheels and a bit of black smoke rolling out the exhaust as the truck fish tails all over the road, yet there is no way it would pull a 30,000 lb trailer up a hill the way the new Cummins does.
