Chevrolet Challenges Ford to a Heavy-Duty Towing Showdown! - PickupTrucks.com News

This is dated September 30; maybe it has been posted here but I missed it. Looks like GM will do it anyway.

I hope it really is like to like configured trucks with substantial identical loads.

I don't agree with all the talk about like rear axle ratios. Tranny ratios are not the same.

If they go with duallys and both have 3.73 that should be fair.

Chevy can say or do anything they want. We already know who builds the best trucks.

 

Why waste your time when you already know what the outcome will be.

 

I agree. The deck will be stacked in favor of whomever has the "challenge"

 

This is really a non issue. Nobody in their right mind would race up a mountain with a heavy load to see if they can beat the other truck in the real world.

Both trucks have lots of power and a good tranny. What it comes down to in the real world is which design philosophy you prefer. Ford and GM are remarkably different in the way that they engineer the "HD" aspect of a truck.

 

Who cares. We all know what GM stands for. Government Motors!!! We all know who makes the best Trucks. Ford.

 

Laughing at Government Motors

 

Silly post. It's okay to prefer a manufacturer a little but unless you have a large amount of shares in Ford what's the point of blind loyalty? I like my truck but when it's time for a new one I'll look at Dodge (if they up their lagging GVWRs), GM and Ford. Basically, first choice is ford but any 6.7 mishaps and I'll have no issue jumping ship.

 

some of us just bleed blue..

while your free to jump ship if you choose, there are alot of FORD loyalists who would continue to buy blue oval even if they had a problem in the past..

i wouldnt care if dodge and chevy had a better truck, i'd still purchase the ford..

 

Here here! That is why I own Dodge, Ford and GM. I take the best that is offered at the time I am in the market.

 

Ford has had a bullseye on it's back for over 30 years. Gov. Motors is just throwing out another pathetic attempt to try and get some sales.

 

Here I thought GMC stood for (Got a Mechanic Coming)

 

GMC,,,Get Me a Chain,,,,,,,

 

What was the last commercial, 95% of Chevy's since 1985 were still on the road? If you slow it down and read the fine print it says "the other 5% actually made it back home".

 

i don't care about the challenge. chevy can't build a motor in the diesel catagory the works. they had to to go japanese to get there motors and i still remember ww-11.
