Huntingdog Toyota is the only manufacture using the SAE standard not GM. GM was going to use them as was Ram but they chickened out because Ford said they would not use it until 2015. Not sure why GM and Ram backed down, had they adapted the SAE Ford would have had mud on their face. JMO your may differ.

Don

GM DID release their numbers. They quickly retracted them because Ford wouldn't as they originally said they would.
GMs 1/2 tons suffered a lot, and GM was unwilling to have lower published numbers than Fords due to the loss in sales that would likely result from that.
Do a search and you can find them as they were posted on some forums.
The HDs did very well.


As for the dodge video... That was a Dodge commercial, as has already been discussed.
I seriously doubt that the GM will trail that badly in objectives tests.

I really like the red print:).......So Ford has done THEIR own commercial and they got to crow, then, Ram did their own commercial, and they get their chance to crow and now all we're waiting for is Chevy/GM's own commercial so they can crow again and be #1.

Really, you got to love all these test...only reason Ram guy's get a kick out of them now is because we alway's ended up in last place between the big three....Ford had their air time and sell the most trucks and let's us know it...Chevy/GM has won and won and won, though they're not as obnoxious about it as the Ford owners, NOW, the lowly Ram owner get's a chance to do some boasting and bragging and we have to hear ALL the negative "spin" on it....Heck, sounds fair to me:)..............Wouldn't figure it would be any other way.

I don't remember knocking anybodys brand.
I didn't even say that GM would win in a different test. All I said was that I didn't believe that GM would trail all that badly in a unbiased test. In my mind the jury is still out.

The only thing I said about your post was the fact you had to focus on "Ram did their own test".....


Just thought it was funny that Ram was "jaded" because they went 13' versus 13' and the Ford crowd yelled "foul", but when they took a "theorhetical" 2015 Ford F350 and ran it against a 2013...that was ok with the Ford crowd, though it was a Ford produced video with the Ford guy Mike even coming onto the forum, though a short visit, to justify what was done.

again, only thing I touch on with your post was the fact that you had to make sure we all knew that Ram, "conducted their own test"..so did Ford..and Chevy has had their share of commercials too....nothing wrong with it, but you have to admit, running a 2015 truck that isn't even in production against a 2013 truck is a bit...well....odd, wouldn't you say.

nothing wrong with your post and I agree with you on your assessment if Chevy were in the tes, Hey I owned Chevy trucks from 1975 up to mid 2010, I like them a lot....so you won't hear me knocking on your truck:)
