The last test I watched on TFLtruck was the Ram against the Ford pulling 30000 lbs. Ram was literally I second faster but had one more brake application going down. So it was a draw. Chevy wasn’t rated for 30000 so they didn’t do it.
Ram has always not been about speed. I’m not sure a test like that for these trucks even matter. Neither over heated, shut down, or caused a problem on the way down.
I still contend that either of the HD trucks from the big 3 towing heavy is not about performance, because they all are dang good. I think it’s which one you like the best, interior, amenities and number 1 for me was price. I don’t like the Chevy interior at all. I love the Ford all the way around, but I got a Ram, and I’m proud of it, and for whatever reason at the time it was $7000 cheaper on an XLT versus a Bighon similarly equipped and similar sticker price. Who knows why! I don’t but when the time comes to buy again who knows what I’ll have but you all have to admit and I think it’s true these last 6 or 7 years that Ram has, with its performance, handling, CTD and the amazing interiors and electronics, has made Ford and Chevy better.
We are loving in the Golden Age of light trucks. Although they ain’t really light anymore.
And it is fun talking and studying them.
