I suspect that GM and Ford are waiting each other out to release info/specs on their 2017 powertrains. Both are releasing a significantly upgraded HD pickups for 2017 and no one wants to release their truck and have the guys across town up them by 10 hp.
A battle between the two heavyweights, its a good time to be a consumer!
Can you say +450HP and +1000ft/lbs torque. :E
Yeah, and it don't make sense either. All of the big three can tow way more than they can handle now. It's silly. They need to concentrate on more usable options and quit worrying about who can get to the top of the hill faster. Very few people including me never see the full HP out of their truck now days because they have to put so much torque management in them to even make them drive-able. Sure the numbers look good on paper and the commercials. Why does a pick-up need as much hp as a truck that tows over twice the load day in and day out? They don't.
