One thing to remember Ford sets up this completion and choses the hill to climb.

Then ford picks the rear end gearing and you can bet they pick the best gear for the Ford and the worst gear for this hill in the GM and Ram.

Put a turbo on either the GM or Ram and it would be a no contest. Or let GM have 6.0 or 6.2 liter.

uh...ok. The ford had 3.73 gears (4.10's are available on F-150) and the Ram had 3.92 gears. The GM had 3.42 gears, which is the best you get on the 1500 trucks. But then again Ford probably requested GM not make 3.73's available that particular year so they could beat them so badly.

Judging from Mike's long sleeve shirt I don't think it was very hot that day. :R

It was a good Ford commercial though. :S Kind of like the Chevy one where you see snow out the window. :B

For a large company like Ford, it was very easy for them to arrange for the entire strech of road up Davis dam to be air conditioned so the Ecoboost wouldn't overheat. :W
