I suppose asking for proof of that would be as off limits as test reports about Eco-diesels? Looks like it's almost time to lock this thread so the test video drops out of site sic.
One needs to remember something re trucks. They are nothing more than tools to get a given job done. If it meets ones specs, then it is the correct tool. If not it is the incorrect tool. No different than one former local hardware store before being bought out by Lowes, had over 300 hammers on the shelf for one to buy. Hammers like trucks, come in multiple sizes shapes and forms, depending upon the item one needs to hammer/hit etc. To take a 4oz tack hammer and compare to a 5 lbs sledge, or a 32oz framing hatchet much less against a 32oz framing hammer is ridiculous. All have a purpose in life.
So far in over a dozen trucks, I have to say my 89 1 ton flatbed has been the worst of the bunch. Meanwhile I had an 86 S10, not a bad rig for its purpose......Does this mean the S10 is a better truck than the R3500. Depens upon use.
So a non turbo/supercharged rig out pulls per say speed wise a supercharged one......DOes than mean it is better. Only on that test! performance spec. The other at the end of the day, may still be the better overall truck for ones purpose.
Hence my opinion on this. And no, I do not own, nor at this time, do I plan to own a ram or equal. Prefer Chebby's me self! that was not tested in this video.
