Ford vs Ram vs Chevy diesels
TFL Truck tested them all towing 12,000# 5ers at a Ford press event. All 3 had 3.73 axles according to Ford. VIDEO Time to climb the 7% grade: Ford 2:36 Ram 2:45 Chevy 2:50

Chris how about just use the same trailers like they said they were doing! The trailer they used on the Ford has a front cap that slopes back. The ones hooked to the Ram and GM are taller and flatter.
The higher and flatter the front the more wind resistance you will have and the slower you will be. Ford supplied the trucks and trailers so this is yet another example of how far Ford will will twist the truth.

High Country's Helium Technology utilizes advanced materials and manufacturing technology to significantly reduce weight while maintaining all the features, comforts and luxury you expect in a Montana. Because Helium Technology saves you 1300-2500 pounds compared to typically equipped fifth wheels, you can reduce wear and tear on your tow vehicle, improve fuel economy and maximize the towability of your 3/4-ton truck.
Now I'm sure someone can do the math here but a 1,300 to 2,500 lb weight savings is a BUNCH on a 7% long grade!
Maybe there was nothing in the Montana? Maybe Ford stripped it out and it was a blank shell box? LOL
BTW, any clown that calls a Cummins a Cummings is just that, a clown, and he knows less about trucks than my dog does.
