Majorgator,
You are exactly correct. Consider that a Ram 5500 4x4 with 200" CA, Cummins with the heavy duty automatic transmission can be had for 53,735.00. Maybe they are testing incorrectly.
It appears the models they tested should be compared to Cadillac's.
I am looking for a tow/overhead camper vehicle that will remain parked for the most part while I am in town. I am not looking for speed but I want to keep up with freeway traffic. Most of my vacationing/sightseeing etc. will be spent on mountain roads with speed limits from 45 to 55 mph.
The 5500 above has power windows, door locks and anti spin diff. It has air conditioning, tinted windows and radio.
I can not see what else I would need in a vehicle that will spend 50% of it's life spent in my driveway.
