To me Tfl exposes their bias to Ford on this one issue.

I don't think TFL has a bias toward Ford per-say, but rather that their tests is based on the aspects that are most important to them. If the time going up the Ike is most important to you at 20F then the Ford is the clear winner for you. If less brake applications is more important, the the Ram is the clear winner. Last year, GM was the clear winner towing up the Ike in the least amount at 80F. Which one you choose to focus on depends on which is most important to you. Not everyone cares about getting up a hill the fastest just as other may not care if they have a few brake applications going down.

I think these arguments start because some people want their favorite truck to be the best at everything and have a hard time when another truck may be better at something. Ironically, these people bought their truck based on what it is the best at so why they care about what it isn't the best at is beyond me. If you want something with a lot of power and the most up to date tech, then than might decrease its reliability. If you want something that is more reliable with more conservative sustained power output regardless of outside temp, then it might not be the quickest up a hill in all scenarios. Then you have people like me who is not afraid to mod/customize their trucks to how I use it, and adjust power levels depending on how it is being used or how froggy I am feeling at the moment.
