Right, here is GM’s actual press release, in their words. It seems like they are claiming first place in a pissing contest.
Silverado HD Bests the Competition with 21,700 Pound Towing and 6,635 Pound Payload Ratings
2010-05-18
DETROIT – Through ongoing development and testing, the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD capability ratings have been increased to 21,700 pounds of towing, and 6,635 pounds of payload. Based on these ratings, the Silverado HD will offer heavy-duty truck buyers the most power and most capability available in the segment.
True, they are claiming to be better than the competition with the new numbers from their new more powerful engine like most manufacturers(regardless of what they make) boasts when they make something that has been improved. The difference between that and the Ram & Ford pissing match is that they kept increasing their number without changing a thing to their trucks for the sole purpose to claim they are "best in class".
