- I believe in their videos or maybe it was the comments that they said they asked for basic gas work trucks and this is what they were offered. Ford had yet to offer them anything.
I agree more evenly matched truck/trailer combos would be better but its still fun to watch. Turtle n Peeps wrote:

An older 6.2 version. The 6.2 Ford rips!
Nope there isn't, makes you wonder why doesn't it?
Also as I post in the Ram 2500 HD gas post by the #1 Ram hater tollboy um I mean troyboy. These guys are nothing but a bunch of clowns. If you are going to post a video of how the 2500 HD gas trucks preform (and lack of f250) you should at least do it the same way.
But then you would have to be willing to let the chips fall where they may. BTW when you start promoting a book signing on your videos you lose all credibility. Que the music.....Send in the clowns! LOL

Might want to watch it again. The F250 was 55-60, WOT. Around 55 MPH at the top.
The Raptor was below that, and bogged down at the top (traffic). Neither will run 65, even if they tried.Turtle n Peeps wrote:

The problem wasn't the engine. It was the shifting. The only reason it slowed so much at the end was that it was slogging along at about 2500 rpm. It would be nice if they would do two runs. One like they do now, and one using Mr. Truck's experience to go up the hill the best way the truck can. They all would be going up the hill at 65 mph, my guess.
No way a gas rig with less than 300 HP with that kind of weight is going to be going 65 MPH up Ike. NO WAY!
My 2011 Denali XL towing my 6500ish pound boat will drop all the way down to 2nd gear up Eisenhower. If I remember right, I was around 45 MPH or so at the top a few weeks ago.
None of the NA gassers are going to go 65.RSD559 wrote:

That's a wicked truck... Have u done any of those mods to your truck? Parents got an 2011 Cummins. and its been a good truck pulling 15k.
Nope. 900 lb/ft bone stock so really no need. To be honest I kind of like the quietness of my '16. I still love taking my '05 out on the weekends and raise a little he!! But the '16 sure is nice towing 20k and putting along @ 70 with little to no engine noise. So relaxing.
