i think that test was just a LITTLE bit biased, dont you? chevy 1500HD (2500 basicly) with Z71 package so stiff rear suspension, f150 4x4 that has very few leaves per spring pack (maybe they come that way???), and commenting about the bed movement on the tundra. and they call it a durability test. :headshake: heres a good durability test, load up a couple hundred pounds of equipment into the bed of the truck (and have all 3 trucks the same platform), and drive them up/down the same track until something breaks. thats like what ford did on their 1 ton dually test vehicle in the diesel competition, they put 4.56 gears in the axle whereas gm and dodge only come with 3.73 in the diesels. who won? with no weight behind it, the cummins was the fastest. with weight (both on flat terrain and up an 8% incline over a large distance) the gm duramax. where was ford? back of the pack on all tests, even with changing their axle gears.
read and comment :whip:
