Sounds like a very nice truck. And I would venture to say that the vast majority of truck buyers don't care if it is rated to tow 23k or 30k.
True but if they could they sure as HE!! would be advertising big numbers.
Maybe. Maybe not. Lots of speculation that they have been sandbagging their HP and Torque numbers for the last several years as despite of not having the top specs they still have won every towing/acceleration test I have seen.
Why would this be different?
My preference is RAM, but I have no skin in this game. I am one of the many who will never tow that much weight with a light duty truck.
What I said has NOTHING to do with performance 0-60 or climbing the mountain. When they have to be able to start out with over 30K in tow on a very steep grade several times in a row I am guessing they could not do it. The trans is the weak link in the SAE testing IMHO.
