I think the real news is the Ford 7.3 gas performed almost as well in the up hill pull test compared to the Ram 3500 cummins and the Chevy 3500 Duramax pulling the same load. And the during the Ford pull they had to back off the throttle for a little bit so the time could have been less.
Here's the pull times in ascending order:
Duramax: 8:24
Cummins: 8:25
7.3L Godzilla: 8:42

So much for the "you gotta get a diesel!" crowd. Save 10k and get a 7.3L Ford gasser haha. The times would be even closer if it wasn't a test at 11,000 ft of elevation where the non-turbo gasser is losing hp.
