Just some light refreshing (Mainly new grills available). 2017 and 2018 are the new model years for the 1500 and HD trucks respectively.

Impressive, but according to a few contributors who seem to often remind us of it's inferiority due to government loans and/or manufacturing locations, I expected it to fall completely apart on the way up. Perhaps the constant praise by the video crew is warranted after all.
Again, impressive.

Finally watched the video and pretty happy with my decision to order my 3500 SRW with Cummins and 68RFE.

I am surprised it did that with what looked to be so little effort.

$61k for a 4x2 truck is hard to take though.

Sure would be nice if they would have something like...oh I don't know, a 5.0 V8 Cummin's as a lower cost option in the 2500 series...:B.

Ill wait till after Wednesday's report to see the winner between Ford and Dodge..

Spoiler alert - Dodge will win. only 30 seconds difference and less than 1/2 mpg per lie o meter

Its a shame GM would not give a truck to toss in the mix...

They say clearly in the video (which you must not have watched) that they were provided the truck. I don't know where you're getting your info from but I've yet to see a 2016 Ram truck anywhere on the web or otherwise.

Pretty impressive run. My guess is it might be in the top two for their best towing truck contest.

I doubt TFL buys any of the trucks they review, they're provided free by dealers or manufacturers. FCA has been walking the 2016 2500 around the review circuit, I imagine TFL will get a whack at it soon enough.

I would have thought 2016+ would be taking the Gauntlet by now, 2015 is old news...?
