Interesting article. Clearly they were impressed.I found this a surprise:" All Cummins engine-equipped Ram HDs will run 3.42:1 axle gears."Hadn't seen that before.

I think that is just for the SRW trucks IB. I've seen guys with 2014 MY DRW with 3.73 and 4.10's in em over on the Cummins forum.

So let me get this right, when Ram was at the bottom of the tow ratings they still ran it against the same rated trucks. Now that Ram is at the top they put a Ram 3500 up against a F-450 and claim it's because the Ram is really a 4500 in sheep's clothing? Put it up against the F350 and GM/Chevy 3500 like they did before and lets see how they all fair now!Don

Other than the Ford SuperDuty front suspension it looks like the same old truck.

That ain't a dig? Guess we all have reading compression levels. The Chevy felt the lightest of the three and as a result had the most trouble keeping the backend of the truck quiet when the dirt road became choppy and rutted. The frontend felt comfortable at slower speeds and during cornering, but it couldn’t keep the rear axle from jumping and wanting to slide from side to side when the chatter hit OBTW that isn't my quote !
