My new '15 6.7 does not have the air starvation like my '11. It just wants to keep pulling and gaining speed while pulling up grades.

At sea level or just a few K (1-4K) altitude it does fine, but upwards of 6K is where the issue is.
Glad to see that is better now.

I can't wait to tow through the mountains with this 15; it's a beast.

If Dodge was running that test, for sure the results would have skewed the other way. For sure, they are both apples, just a different type not an apple to orange difference. Either truck is more then capable - you do not have to nor should you run a vehicle at 'b@##s to the wall' every time you have a load. It wont survive long. Love the comments - I appreciate what my truck can do. It's my tool to pull a 12K pound 5th wheel trailer, not a life as some of those commenters seem to think (though my wife might say otherwise). And that turbo - yep, even in the much lower altitude Adirondacks, it does seem to need a bit more huff, but for sure with the same load, is a LOT better then the last truck, with a 3V V10.
Usual disclaimer - the above, it's my opinion

The '15 addressed those 2 areas well. In my opinion.

Its a shame, the writers/editors there do some of the best "truck" tests.

If you really want to be entertained, go to the Tow Vehicle section at RV.net! The IQ level of some brand loyalists there is pathetic. Some of those guys argue just for the sake of bashing Ford. They have nothing to back up the ridiculous things they say, but I guess as long as you say it with confidence on the internet it must be true right?

And that right there is why I wont tell anyone anymore how well my 6.0 does with my 5er, and when I pull into most camp grounds I get questioned, the Ford camp gets it, seems the others just want to bash...may usual answer is everyone has to start somewhere, don't be jealous I drive a Ford.
