^^^^^When I get my new Powerstroke you might have to pull over to let me by on the long steep hills.:B
Is your 17 "OLD" ???
Not really old just out dated and kinda slow.:)
You may be disappointed. I test drove a 19 RAM AISIN. It didn’t feel any different than my measly 15.
If you limit the speed to 60mph, and if all three are capable of pulling 35000 lbs at 60 mph all the way up the Ike, then the only time difference will be acceleration from the start to 60 mph.
They claim the top part of the Ike is a 7% grade. The new Powerstroke might be capable of towing a 35000 lb rv up a 7% grade at 35-40 mph.
