Yeah lets put the best performing engine in a very very few selective trucks and call it "class leading".
In the meantime Ford and GM have a transmission that will provide real class leading power in all truck configurations. Now that's a "class act".
You mean like Ford did, and GM does with their 6.2l half tons??
Do all versions of the F150 have class leading towing and payload or do you have to select specific options and configurations to get it?
As for 3/4t tow ratings, a Ram 2500 4x4 has about 1,000lb more than F250 4x4. To claim the towing crown you have to have a regular cab 4X2 F250. If you move into crew cab, the F250 lags behind the Ram 2500, despite the power, despite the transmission, despite the beer can body panels.
Don't confuse "Class Leading" and "Class Act"... Those are simply two different attributes.
Again I'm glad GM has decided to step up their game and I'm certain the Duramax/Allison will be an outstanding drivetrain with great towing performance over hundreds of thousands of miles, and will not have varying degrees of power because of a lack of commitment to put a real HD transmission in all their truck series.
