Are the 2016 Ram HD’s Output Figures Bogus?

Once again all the Ram guy's making up some kind of excuse why the truck won't go over a curb. The guy that owns this truck said he had it in 4hi and his foot to the floor...

Clicky

I actually did that the other day in my Ram 2500 CTD helping a friend bove some furniture and I wasn't even in 4wd. Although I had to take off the traction control because it kept retarding the engine due to the back tires breaking loose just a little. Once I did that then it made it up no problems. I can go back to his house next week and get it on video if you want.

If one actually thinks a diesel with 800 lb-ft of torque cannot go over a curb because it does not have enough power then they are dumber than a box of rocks.

yea... I drive all winter long with "traction Control" off.. ranks right up there with ABS braking for uselessness.. traction control and ABS I guess is for people don't know enough to "drive according to the conditions".

I agree 100%. Give me a truck with manual t case, no abs, no traction control, manual hubs and the rest of the amenities of a new truck, save for the emissions, of course.... And I'd be happy.
Oh wait, that's what my 07 is except for the ABS and no free spin hubs.
I've gotten stuck more times due to traction control on the ice roads up on the North Slope, than I can count.
Whack one drift, punch it and watch the truck lose power to not spin the wheels and yer stuck!
Gotta admit stability control is pretty cool though. Can throw the truck into a slide and the computer takes over and puts you right back on course without even counter steering!
