The hp/tq specs definitely don't directly correlate to the times on the uphill portion. Impressive none the less. That's a lot of weight to haul uphill.

Mind you, it doesn't have the wind resistance a large 5er would.

The aerodynamic drag on a load like that is greater than an RV even though the surface area is smaller.

Well I like to see them all run, but, in 2011 and 2012 when Ram didn't have the ratings to match the Chevy and Ford, they didn't get to run the Ike. This year they just lowered the test to the lowest value.
It would be interesting to see how the Chevy would do with 4.10's.
It would be interesting to see an "RV" where the hook up a big heavy, Tall 5er and run the Ike.
