Ford really needs to update their frame.
Both the RAM and Chevy are on hydroformed and fully boxed frames (the RAM is on 3rd gen, first one in 2007). While Ford's frame design dates back to the first "Superduty", still C-channel at the back.
As for the test, I hope they rate more than just the 0-40 / 60 times. Any chipped truck can run circles around these trucks, but that doesn't mean the weight can be controlled safely.
