Both Ford and Ram went through major redesigns of their frames to achieve the 30K towing number. I suspect GM would need to do the same thing and they have said that they don't feel the market is worth it because it only accounts for 3% of HD trucks sold.
I believe both Ram and Ford had their new frames for at least a year or two before they started this pissing match and coincidentally it started after they both adopted the lower standards of the J2807. GM also upgraded their frame with their new trucks, but chose not to get into the best in class war.
Shiner, do you have any documented evidence that GM secretly has higher capabilities, but due to some brilliant marketing scheme they won’t tell anyone? If GM’s numbers mean nothing, I should just get one of their 1500’s rated at 9,000 lbs, because it is obviously underrated so they don’t get in a pissing match. GM doesn’t want to seem like they are competing with Ford and Dodge, so they purposefully misstate their capabilities on the extreme low side. Seriously???
Also a 6 cylinder Camaro will outrun a Shelby Mustang, but it is a secret that GM keeps so it doesn’t look like they are in a pissing match.
Where do you get your information? Did the Chevy sales rep tell you this?
Also, why is GM in a best of class war on every other level of truck? Looks like their SRW has a higher rating than Ram. Aren’t they afraid this will start a pissing contest?
