Dyno competition is out
TFL has it up on youtube. It really just proves that the Mustang dyno is inconsistent and not really accurate enoug. I won't post the numbers, unless you guys want me to.
Tried posting the link, but it's not working here on my phone for some reason.

Umm whaaaat? The truck that got up the hill the fastest has the lowest amount of power and torque by a decent amount? And the truck with the highest power and second highest torture got last? Does this support the theory we had about gearing being why the Ford lost and if you raised or lowered the weight causing them to shift, the results would have been different?

I just slid the slider to the end of the video until I saw the numbers on the screen to copy... I didn't want to watch either. Their stuff is painful. LOL.

Like the OP said, Mustang Dynos have been known to be inconsistent and all over with Numbers. take these numbers for whats its worth. Not worth Bragging about.

Haha. I do watch their tests up the IKE and I don't mind Andre...he seems to actually care about being knowledgeable. But there still is too much goofiness I think...

As documented <here> by many members... "the dyno will be the real test!"
So trying to understand?
you don't like the pull test
you don't like the mpg test
and now y'all don't like the dyno test?
Hmmmm

That said, any test we win is one I'll point out to my brother (the GM fanatic). Any test we'll lose I won't say anything about because he doesn't Internet so good.

I like the Zero to 60 test.
I like the 21,000 LBS at the hitch test.
No distribution hitch required.
I like the better ride test.
I like the quieter cab test.
I like that I can haul more and tow more test.
And I for one am content with the Dyno test results.
Yea, I don't like the results of the other test but I am very happy with the 2017 Super Duty. Can't win them the all.

Funny how everyone wanted all 3 trucks on one dyno, because anything is unfair. Now all 3 are on one dyno, and I guess now we can't trust that either. Hmmm.
Am I the only one that sees Ford as the real winner in that test? I thought those numbers looked about as expected, so no disappointment here. I am not at all surprised about the TQ the Ram produced. That motor was always built for TQ. It just isn't enough to make up for the lagging HP and, oh ... the rest of the truck!
The only real surprise to me was GM's numbers - which were lower than I expected. But GM has always towed like a screamin' deamon with lower numbers, so again no surprise.
