30,000 lbs behind the Ram
Clicky The Rams time was almost exactly what I expected out of a 385 hp engine. Using the same formula the 440 HP Powerstroke should have made the run in 10.5 minutes.

I still think these 30k+ tow ratings are absurd just to say "best in class". I applaud GM for not getting into this pissing match and keeping their tow rating close to the 22k that most will never go over. All I care is if my Ram can tow the 14-15k I need it to while keeping the speed limit and with power to spare. It has proven more then capable of doing that many times over.
I can see getting all hot and bothered about these tests if you actually towed 30k lbs, but if you won't even tow half of that with your rig and the power you have now is more than plenty to pull what you do tow while easily maintaining the speed limit or getting up to speed, then what is the point of what it does with 30k that you will never even come close to towing?
Because rvers are not the main class of people these trucks are built for. A load of livestock can easily break 30,000lbs.
