some internet so and so recently posted a video where his such and such ystem went out on his recent model Ram 3500 CTD so rather than do the powertrain warranty on it, he traded for a 2018 Chevy 2500 gasser ... he took the DW for a drive with their bumper pull trailer behind, and both he and the wife kept complaining about how the gasser just wasn't pulling like the CTD, and this was on the flat. somewhere along Lake Erie
I guess I've never felt "pull" ... is pull the same as when you get squished into your seat like wide-open in a Corvette, or is it something else?
I put the hammer down on my Hemi 6.4 and even with the trailer hitched, I get pressed back in the seat a little, not as much as when I'm unhitched, and nothing like the Corvette which had a smaller engine
I put the hammer down on my 5.7 Hemi and it did 60mph climbing out of Denver west on i-70, passing plenty of diesels ... maybe they were pulling but I was accelerating?
