Latest PUTC diesel shootout

Spoiler alert: The Chevy beat the Dodge 1-ton apparently because it's quicker empty and gets better fuel mileage loaded (it's lighter, like a half-ton ):

The Dodge did better in the 3/4-ton gasser segment (but who buys those : ??)

I stopped looking at these since GM lightens them for testing while Ram doesn't.

Fun to look at though so you know what they can do.

What about the dodge having the most torque and HP?

Maybe they over rate what they have?

The Ford has the most HP & Torque. Definitely over-rated (Fords that is). Dodge is now third in that department, but it didn't hurt them much.
