Here it is!

 

Not at all what I expected. Slowest and lowest mileage. That sucks.

 

I didn't expect that either. It's fun to see the trucks compete, stretch their legs, and display their capability. But at the end of the day, how much do these videos affect my future purchase? Zero.

 

Dang, lost on the uphill, downhill, and in mpg. Very disappointing. Don't know what happened.

 

Now lets do it with them towing 30k pounds. Oh wait Chevy can't do it so they can't play with the big boys. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IDGAF what they rate the truck Ford is and always will be the best truck.

 

I'm not surprised at all. After driving the GM it is a monster compared to the Ford.

If ford would remove the low gear power reduction it would likely be a different outcome.

 

Interesting, I wonder if the ford went into regen during the uphill run.
​​​​​​​I definitely didn't expect those results.

 

Ford doesn't have low gear power reduction on the DRW's. Only SRW.

 

Something to think about (and I'm no engineer), but 99.9% of everything in life is a compromise. If you build for power you give up some speed. Build for speed and give up some power. Because the Ford is the winner in capacity perhaps that creates a trade off in speed / mileage.

It would have been awesome if the Ford had been the clear winner, but I don't regret buying my Ford one bit after seeing this video. In my (getting to be many years of) experience:

- The Rams are solid on the outside and junk on the inside

- All GM products are junk (I've never owned a Chevy truck but many Cadillacs, Buicks, and Oldsmobiles) -- stranded many times, huge repair bills, much time in the shop. I wouldn't buy the truck in the video for 50% of what they were asking for it unless to flip it (and even then I'd feel guilty selling it to the next buyer)

- The many Fords I have owned are solid on both inside and out. I can think of only one issue that left me stranded with all of my many Fords (trucks, cars, and SUV's).

They can test my truck on video, and roll it up and down that hill - but I still wouldn't (ever) trade it for a coup de ville (with a pick up box).

 

Ford has been claiming "Unsurpassed MPG" with the new trucks.....their test truck must have been in REGen mode.....oh wait how could they possibly know that since Ford doesn't notify the driver on the dash!!

 

Fun to watch for sure. But why did both men base their "subjective" score for the Ford strictly on it's uphill time?? When they discussed the other two trucks subjective score, they mentioned things like ride quality, steering wheel angle, cabin noise, etc. I thought there was an "objective" scoring component that assessed uphill time specifically. IMO, the fact that they used the uphill time to justify a low score in the Ford's "subjective" rating completely skews the final results.

In any regard, looks like all three's performance was pretty spot on with each other and owners of any brand will surely be satisfied with their purchase. Unless of course you need to tow more than 23K pounds....which I do.

 

That could be possible. I don't see how the Ford lost. It has more torque and 4.10 gears. Maybe there is some false engine power advertising on one or both sides......?

 

You 2017 guys if you need a hand getting up the Ike let me know I'll pull you up with the '16'.

 

DRW's have torque reduction in 1st gear. But not applicable for this test.

In other news, TFL's 0-60 test showed the Ford was the fastest of the bunch!

 

Drive whatever puts a smile on your face. I just traded a 2014 ram in on my new superduty and I have a huge grin on my face, I catch myself looking at my truck when I walk away, I never did that with my ram.
