TFLTruck did a Ike Gauntlet tow test of a 2015 Ram 6.4L 4.10.

Identical axle ratio and load (12.5K) to the 2015 Chevy 2500 they tested a few months ago. The Chevy gives up ~50hp and lb-ft. Surprising outcome.

I don't read the article as they weighed the same. I read it as they were within 100lbs of their GCVW. If that is actually the case then the Ram weighed 2,000lbs more. It still doesn't justify that 2nd gear is inadequate but it would definitely make a big difference.

That's a good point. If they weren't loaded the same then the results are meaningless.

It would be nice if everyone would take the time to view the video and pay attention. If you did you would know both trucks were towing the same load with in 100 lbs.

I did watch the Video but I missed that point. So what? That's why we have civil discussions - or at least try to.

Are you a acussing me of not being civil?

I only pointed out if everyone would watch and pay attention to the video they would not be making false statements.

That is still being done if you read posts after I pointed this out. It seams there are still some who believe the Ram was towing more weight than the Chevrolet.

Bottom line the Ram was not able to make as much horsepower as the Chevrolet.
