I think we have already seen a preview of what the 2020 HO cummins will do. It was essentially a tie with the Duramax although some will argue it was a DRW therefore packing more weight.
What I'm really interested in is the HO cummins fuel economy towing 30k at this point.
The 2500 SRW GM should have smoked the DRW RAM. 10 speed, lighter weight, less tire drag and less wind resistance.
Mileage on all three in REALITY should be similar. Not enough of a difference to make a buying decision.
I hand calculate every tan by filling to the top. Solo mileage computer is .4 higher than calculated. Towing in mountains or strong headwind computer is right on or slightly higher. Never is the computer lower.
The Reality is the 2020 Power Stroke had significant better fuel economy than the 2020 Duramax pulling 30k up the Ike so I don't get your reality statement unless you have mpg data from each brand to back it up.
