I find it amusing everyone dissing Ford for not using the j2807 but dismiss a towing run on the very road used for the test. So which is it, do you care about the standard based on other threads or it doesn't mean anything like the tone on this thread?

Not sure who was doing that, the Ford has more HP then the Ram so it had better out run the ram towing and it did but only by 46 seconds. So if running up the hill faster then the other guy is what you want get the Eco-Boost. If towing and make 14-19 MPG doing it is more important then get the Eco-Diesel. But bottom line get what you want because YOU researched the trucks reading what the owners say about it NOT what the manufactures say. BTW I'll bet you lunch that the Ram didn't have the 3:92 gear ratio in it.

I wasn't really speaking of the "race" but to comments that who cares how how quickly you make it up the hill. The match up was not really fair due to the HP differences so I would not read too much into that. But it does show the ecoboost a capable towing engine that gets lost when feelings get hurt and just dismiss performance up the hill because of who it was compared to. (not speaking of you Don)
