Why does FCA not want to test at the same time as ford and Gm?

I don't think it is a matter of Ram not wanting to test as the same time as it is just getting a truck scheduled at the same time. Several years ago these guys did a few videos on what it takes to get these loaner test vehicles and it is a long and arduous process. It is not something you can just phone up someone and say you want a truck to test and it is done. These vehicles are shared by regions and you have to wait until the previous tester is done with it.

Thanks for your answer. Just seems like it would be nice to test on the same conditions. Fun stuff to read.

Too many times they test vehicles for a comparison and the environmental conditions are extremely different which can alter the results. But it appears they have a Ram so the results should be posted soon.
