Who gets to the top first is kind of the point isn't of all that power? I mean on one hand you are bragging that your truck OEM has a pickup that makes 900 foot pounds but on the other hand you don't care when you makes it to the top of hill, that seems contradictory to me. Why then feed all that power? Why offer a pickup that specs so great, but gets owned by trucks with considerably less impressive spec sheets. Kinda like the 6.4 gas, stomps the competition in every measurable stat except pulling a load up a hill. Suddenly then it becomes less important how fast you can get up hill, cause you know, it isn't race.
I'll correct you there.
The correct statement would be: "It stomps the competition in every way except pulling a load up a hill above ~10,000 ft in elevation." Don't forget it was fastest at the Davis Dam grade too, which I'm pretty sure was an uphill grade :B. I'll take those odds. The highest paved road in the country I live in is 7200 ft. And how many roads in the whole USA are above 10,000 ft in elevation where one would pull an RV? How they programmed it to perform at 10 of 11k ft is all but irrelevant to me.
