PUTC 3/4-Ton Premium Truck for 2017 Challenge
Really not a shocker that the engine with the most power, the Duramax, did the best in the acceleration tests or that the Cummins did the best in the fuel mileage tests over the Duramax and Powerstro...

Never tells what truck drives the best. I always feel this is important to me and the reason for driving GM products. I will say our 98 2500 dodge drove good for the 14K miles we owned it.

I think that is because each is best in their own way and what may be important to one may not be important to another. Some may like to have the quickest truck and not mind sacrificing fuel economy for it. there are those that may feel that fuel mileage is more important over performance just as long as the truck can tow what they need it to at the rated speed limit. Others may want dependability above all else.
Each of these truck are close yet very unique in small ways. The GM is the sportiest of the trucks, the Ram is the truckiest of the trucks while the Ford is somewhere in between with a smooth ride. Then there are those that just buy based on brand and it doesn't matter what the other truck have because their brand is always the best. I try not to talk with these kind of people because logic and rational thought usually go out the window in those conversations.
