I have noticed that you tend to say you aren't a fan boy or do not care about such things yet turn right around and say things like this or tout highest power and towing numbers of your favorite brand that you so happen to name yourself after.

Exactly. His chosen screen name is Ford. Specs don't matter to a brand loyal buyer, so why do the manufacturers spend so much time and money touting these ridiculous specs. If the new Ram could jump 50hp and 200 lb/ft torque and tow 7500 lbs more, that would be worth bragging about and showing off. To jump up *just* enough to be "king of the hill" for one model year is catering to fools, in my opinion.

I have ZERO brand loyalty. I've own a Ford truck, an Isuzu SUV, a Toyota truck and now a Ram truck. All that matters to me is a truck that meets/exceeds my needs at the best price possible. They have all been wonderful vehicles and served their purposes for exactly what I needed when I needed it. I'm not loyal to a company that has no loyalty to me.

Company’s pay huge money to advertise because it works. If Ram can advertise best in class weights .... or “the pickup up with the Cummins engine producing more torque than any other pick up has ever produced” they can, in a way, make a claim that they are “best” and here are the numbers to prove it. Most of us on this forum know that the Powwrstroke is a better engine than the Cummins so our opinions are not affected by advertising.:)
