Someone is lying about the numbers BIG time. Either that or Fords tranny is gobbling up power faster than Joey Chestnut can eat a hotdog. That can't be true either because Fords mileage numbers are very good.
Another thing; why have two different types of trailers? At these speeds aerodynamics are HUGE. Why not all the same?
It would be fun to put these trucks on the rollers and see who is lying about power numbers.
Since you mentioned it.
I was at a RAM/Cummins rally in Vegas in 2012. My 350/800 RAM hit 304 on the Dyno that means I only lost 13% of advertised HP. The BD 2012 Ford hit about 375 with a 50 hp tuner so that puts Ford at what the typical loss is from the advertised 400hp to rear wheel Dyno.
