It is funny listening to all of this******about what truck is the fastest. When the Ram lost very badly it was who cares. When the Ram seemed to be the fasted because of the added power now the bragging starts . Ok with me because I need to smile more these days. keep them coming.

I don't know what you are talking about. In the video I linked, the Ford (2015 mind you) was actually the fastest. I always care who is fastest and has the most power no matter the brand. Here's an extra smile for you buddy --> :B

What I'd REALLY like to see is a shootout between the 2500/250's with gas engines and 4.10 gears. They all have 6 speeds, and all have the same rear gear ratios available - unlike the diesels (Ram 3.42 only in SRW, Ford 3.31 or 3.55, Duramax 3.73 only). That would be a good toe to toe battle. :)

me thinks the videos were earlier than the latest ones. I always said I don't care about speed and still do not.:B

I understand your point about you don't care about speed and that's a valid position, but let me put this in another perspective.

I went from a 05 Super Duty to a 12 Super Duty and while pulling the same trailer and boat my 12 Super Duty can run circles around my old 05 truck, but putting speed aside, the power that makes the my 12 truck faster also makes towing soooo much easier and effortless driving either fast or slow.
