Ford vs. Ram vs. GM Diesel HP/TQ Ratings
Looks like what many have speculated and that the 2020+ 6.7PSD is underrated for both HP and TQ.

Finally! It is about time. Ford has had a history of inflating their numbers, then falling flat on the hillclimb tests. They did well on the only test to date, but it was really cold for that test. I would like to see them do one in the summer to see what it will really do when the temps go up.
YES the Ford does put down what they advertise.
Good points! Bottom line my MEASLY 385/865 CUMMINS/AISIN tows my 35k+ combined load West Coast GREAT. OH yea I have ZERO brake applications unless coming into a slower corner.cummins2014 wrote:

Someone has their head stuck Ford's AZZ. WHY????? would the numbers posted FIRST in big bold print comparing all three show RAM's standard output numbers in stead to their HO with AISIN numbers??? Oh sure they mentioned the HO later in passing.
Example........."This is where it happened. A 2020 Super Duty laid down 498 hp and 1,086 lb-ft of torque on these rollers—effectively leaving the Duramax-powered ’20 GM and Cummins-equipped ’21 Ram that were also tested here at the same time in the dust."
Reading the above is a SKEWED paragraph made to have Ford look better.
YES the Ford does put down what they advertise, NOT doubting that just don't like these type of fan based articles no matter the results.
You don't like it because you are a Ram fan ,if it was reversed it would be thumbs up. Live with it .I can say the same thing about someones head stuck up a Rams AZZ .
I have two sons both with new 2022 trucks ,they are impressive. From what my ford owner son tells me that Ford is pretty impressive towing his new fifth wheel . I have driven both, I would buy either one .
Same response, nice "bait" not going to bite!!!IdaD wrote:
It's been about a decade now that comparing power between the three diesels has been irrelevant.
More pertinent questions would by why the Ram's transmissions haven't caught up yet, or why GM and Ford can't figure out how to make a good exhaust brake.
Caught up? There is no reason to add more gears with the CUMMINS/AISIN. I tow more than anyone I know of at over 35k combined West coast and have no need for another gear.Cummins12V98 wrote:

Article basically shows trucks are generally speaking putting out advertised numbers. Ford seems to have lowest or best lack of drivetrain loss. Dodge IMHO the most. GM in the middle.
At the end of the day, in reality, ALL three models are great trucks, pull like no other trucks before. We as customers are winning, no matter which brand one chooses.
