A 66 mile test with 3 trucks on different days, in varying, uncontrolled conditions is great for entertainment, but hardly statistically relevant. The margin of error is so wide that these 3 are basically the same. And yes, I would say that no matter who "won".
I think the Ford diesel engine is awesome. They have all had good and bad versions (some more than others), but these days, there doesn't seem to be a stinker in the group.
I might agree with you if I was buying a Ford but there is no way I would walk away from a test where the Ram used 30% more fuel than the Ford saying "they both basically used the same amount of fuel. I think I'll buy a Ram".
In this test of one, yes. But you'd be a fool to conclude that, based on this single test, the Ford is 30% more fuel efficient than the others. If that proves out over multiple tests from multiple sources, then yes. The most power, a 10 speed auto, and the best fuel economy? Certainly a winner.
