Looks like GM is setting the stage for a potential HP & Torque increase over the competition. :B Link

Those duramax trucks seem to still match or beat the completion even with lower numbers. Sometimes numbers can be all hype.
Not if you check out any recent comparison tests. They are dead last.
The D/A combo is still a good one, but the power numbers need an upgrade.
Perhaps you should read this article.
Good article, I always enjoy those comparisons! :)
Could be in those circumstances with those trucks. They tested 80 Km/h to 100 km/h acceleration with that load (horsepower predominantly), and used a 2500 Ram - which can only be had with the 370hp/800tq engine and 3.42 gears. The Duramax in that test would be 397hp/765tq and have 3.73 gears.
3500 to 3500, where the Ram has the Aisin and 385hp/850tq, the Duramax is left behind.
In the 2014 and 2015s, the Duramax is dead last...like I said.

Not the Ford/Mike Rowe commercial... At least produce an independent test, not a blue oval coolaid advertisement.
