I agree but remind you that all three brands test to different sae standards if I remember correctly. Having said that the ford is the fastest up the hill while pulling a load with the current trucks.
It is ridiculous that they have to compare these tugs as "who is fastest up the hill". Which of you has ever seen a guy at the end of your towing destination with a checked flag.
Give me reliability, fuel economy, and creature features for the long-haul days.
I just love it when someone post a fishy story about beating another guy up a hill or from a stop light! How does this fisherman know that the other guys was competing with him or was not being slapped in the side of his head by his DW?
All three of the diesel towing machines will get the job done. Some more reliably than other. With three available one will be the most reliable, one second and one last.
This year brand X may have the highest marketing numbers, next year it may be a different one. Who cares? Like I said earlier and someone else said. Give me better MPG towing, as all three will get you there most of the time!
When it does not get you there, why do some go on attack against the other brands instead of just omitting that their brand has had issues. Any Ford fan that fails to omit that the 6.0 and 6.4 where not the best is living in an altered universe.
Then there is application of warranties. From everything I have read, it appears that GM may be the winner there with RAM second and Ford last.
In ever area there is First, Second and last. For many things like looks and comfort, they become personal to each consumer rating them first, second and last in their "book"!
Time to grow up and move on! They are are good most of the time.
This fisherman knows because the 15 3500 ram owner was camping with a group of friends of ours. This particular group has been camping together since the '70's and this particular owner is retired but still full of fire and a lot of ribbing goes on every trip. Anyways going to lunch at the near by town of Edna from about a rolling ~30mph was a very short order when I shot around him. When we got to the restaurant my dad told him "I told you that Ford was fast"! (Which btw my dad is a life long died in the wool GM man).
A group of friends like ours while camping, throw in a antique tractor pull the previous day, and a new truck owner touting his stuff is all it took. :B
