I remember going from my '01.5 Cummins Ram to my '03 Cummins Ram for the common rail Cummins. The ride with the new cheaper hydroformed chassis was jittery compared to the C-channel chassis of the previous Rams. I've never had the need or desire to drive my F250 loaded to capacity up a set of offset ramps to the point of hanging tires so I still prefer the C-channel chassis. But, Ford is finally following suit on stepping down to the "cheaper" manufactured hydroformed chassis. Good that they're not going with the spindly little aluminum control arm/dried up ball joint assemblies. :B
That "test" was a huge farce. Other than the fact the odds of putting a vehicle designed to tow and haul in that scenario is slim, they intentionally loaded the Ford to have all the weight on the two cross tires where the Ram was balanced on three wheels. But made for good infotainment.
