2011, I know that year well. I have one of the first dually cc DAs made. The j standard was just coming out. GM and Ford both said they would release their numbers GM did They were posted on this forum for a short time Ford backed out stating that they would wait for a major redesign
GM numbers actually increased a little for some variations of the HDs and none decreased. GMs 1/2 tons took a major hit
When GM realized that Ford was now ahead in the advertised (fake) numbers,they retracted their numbers.
This may have a lot to do with not wanting to play the numbers game anymore.
Right. My point was that this is a standard benchmark that all three are using now. All else being equal, the Chevy is down from only having a 3:73 gear. I think everyone agrees that a lower gear can tow more, and for some reason Chevy does not match the gear ratio of Ford and Ram.
