Those guys put a weighted trailer on, floor it and go up a steep hill at an altitude few will ever see on a regular basis. Is this really the standard which you will judge a vehicle?

Well it's apples to apples for comparison reasons. If a truck wins the Ike challenge then it will be that much better in normal conditions. It's all relative sorta.
I agree though I'm not all that impressed with their methods. My Ram CTD would lose on the Ike every time, but in the real world I have zero issues towing in the mtns or anywhere else.
The speed limit, road conditions, weather conditions and trailer tires or how much fuel we want to burn govern how fast most of us get to where we're going.
