I saw this online a few minutes ago and thought I would share it with my pal's here on DTR......in the test they conducted 1/4 mile times, 7% grade and a 15% grade (loaded 12,100 lbs trailer and unloaded). I know its not the latest and greatest versions of trucks, but still intersting!

interesting.

I think its funny that Dodge and Ford outweigh Chevy by 1,000lbs.

Why did Ford and Chevy have 3.73 gears but Dodge had 4:10s?

interesting!...pretty close in all departments...the only thing they didn't measure was number of trips to the dealerships and number of hours being towed home
