WHat matters at the end of the day is getting up the hill. Drag races don't do that.

I look at this way... The truck that gets up the hill the fastest is generally the truck that can pull that load up the hill the easiest. :W

Disagree...I KNOW my truck isn't the fastest off the line, BUT IT SURE TOWS MY 16,200# efortlessly through the mountains that I tow in...Seeing as how I'm not seeing how fast I can run light to light, or drag racing a truck that weighs right at 9,000#. I I know what I know about my truck from putting about 21,500 miles on it at this point, and that's this; it wasn't built to race, it was built to work, and that is what it does in a most excellent way.

Lot more to towing up a hill/mountain, other than just how fast the truck could do it when not towing...with a heavy 5er hooked to the truck being towed up the mountain, the cooling system as well as the tranny figure more into it in a different way than setting at a stop light and seeing who can get from 0 to "whatever" in X amount of time...Childish at the least..
