Regardless of weight, performance testing on these "super trucks" may be a moot point, as all can pull even 10k lbs at speed limit the entire way.

We're talking 700 hp here for 11k - 16k GVW. That's double to triple the hp-weight ratio of regular trucks at max GVW.

I liked it but wish they would be more realistic in general when testing half tons. A 5000 lb trailer is just too light, while pushing it to 10k or more is too much. As an RVer, I'd like to see them tow a 30' trailer that weighs around 8000 lbs. Carefully loaded, I think that would work with the Raptor and TRX too.

Gawd, I would love to tow with one of those!
