rhagfo,
If you could read and comprehend, the article clearly states it's a 2016 2500HD 6.6L LML Duramax that has 397 HP and 765 torque in a 10,000 GVWR Class 2 truck pulling a trailer scale weighed at 12,700 lbs. Absolutely not one word about it being a 3500HD truck like you claim.
Just so sickening and normal to have a Dodge/Ram owner making false claims since their brand of truck lacks in true at the rear wheels delivered torque and HP and the truck's towing ability which really does and has separated the men from the boys in all the towing ability tests for so many years now. Real/actual delivered torque and HP at the rear wheels is where it's at and what counts not a stripped bare basic engine sitting on a test buck for sales brochure etc claiming higher HP and torque. If it had the delivered torque and HP that is claimed, it actually would show in the real world of the many independent testing and competitions that have been done.
Must be the Dodge/Ram owners way to make them feel better about their fuel guzzling slow pulling over rated trucks and engines!
:R ROTFL
Wow maybe you should reread my post!!
Has nothing to do with BRAND! It is all about doing the Ike, in ANY Brands 250/2500!
The 250/2500 of ALL brands have the same drive train as the 350/3500, they are all weight restricted by their Class 2 10,000# GVWR. The capacity numbers for the 250/2500 have hardly changed in 15 to 20 years.
My 2001 Ram Cummins had a max 5er weight rating of 12,000#, in the 15 year since HP and torque numbers have gone through the ceiling for all of the big three.
Personally I don't see the need to even test other than to compare the ride between a 250/2500 and the 350/3500's.
There may be one wrong statement in this, I am not sure if Ram offers the Asian transmission in the 2500's.
