In those conditions, it would be difficult to do a comparison, unless they were run side by side..

Another thing stuck out for me.

They said that their new standard was a perfect run is now 10 minutes... IIRC, it used to be 8 minutes. Either the climb has gotten longer, or the speed limit for the test has decreased.

Or was this a one time reduction due to the weather conditions?

They don't say.

As for the concerns about the temps.... Not an issue in these conditions. Run them up in the summer and it will likely be a different story

I would like to see the tranny ratios for each 10 speed tranny as well.

I think it makes sense to increase perfect score to 10 minutes when towing the loads that the dualies are now capable of towing.

link to a thread giving the Ford gear ratios.

With 10 speeds to choose from exact ratios aren't going to make much difference.
