Are the 2016 Ram HD’s Output Figures Bogus?

Just me but the higher torque will always pull better, the higher HP will always be faster, especially unloaded.
Let me ask what a OTR driver prefers, more pulling power or faster times? Or both :B
I'd like the see what MPG you guys from Texas get driving slower. Faster is always lower MPG from my experience. My previous 5.9 Cummins would drop down to single digit driving at 75+ MPH loaded at 23K or so in the mountain region.
Someone mentioned J2807, isn't Ford going to use it in 2016 either? Thought they were gearing up for this with the aluminum weight loss :H

Last week one of the contractors at work (electrician) was asking me how I liked my truck and what kind of fuel economy I was making. He just traded his 06 Dodge 2WD DRW 5.9 manual tranny on a '15 Super Duty 6.7 PSD. He said he could make 22mpg with that Dodge DRW.

I wouldn't say the RAM's number's are bogus, but I would say it appears they hit the max on the HP rating. I wouldn't be surprised if the '17 Power Strokes will be boasting more than 440HP and torque will most likely be 1,000 ft/lbs.
