That is a great test but you and Ford are missing the most important part of that test.
The Ram loses 45 seconds to the Ford up that hill out of a 700 mile range. What is the Fords range pulling that trailer. I am willing to bet that the Ford will make many more fuel stops over 700 miles while pulling that trailer..

I keep seeing reference to a "700 mile range". I'm not a math major, but with 26 gallons of fuel, to go 700 miles you have to get almost 27 mpg, and that leaves nothing in reserve. Towing a travel trailer will reduce that mileage considerably. I would think that a 400 mile range towing a trailer would be much more realistic.
