2021 Ram 3500 H.O.

^^^ I’m not saying that the Ford derated on the Ike pull. I’m pointing out that the Powerstoke’s rated torque is 1050 lbft @ 1600 rpm and 960 lbft @ 2600 rpm. Because it ran at about 2350 rpm pulling up the Ike it would be expected to make about 439HP at 2350 rpm. The Ram is rated at 1000 lbft @1800 rpm and 750 lbft @ 2800 so at 2350 it would be reasonable to expect it to produce about 863 lbft of torque and 386 hp @ 2350 rpm. If the Ram is rated honestly and pulled the hill in 11:33 then the Powerstroke should have pulled the hill in 10:20 based on its ratings..... and that’s exactly what it did. I’m just saying that Cummins doesn’t appear to be anymore honest than Ford in how they rate their engine. I realize that as you work these trucks in hot weather they derate. I don’t think either were pulling fuel on that run. I don’t know how much warmer it could get before each would start to pull fuel ..... I think it would be interesting to find out.
