Definitely agree!
All 3 of them boogied up one of the toughest tows in the continental US with 23k lb's behind them! All 3 were more than capable of descending barely using the brakes without even manually downshifting.
Pick the truck that has all the goodies you like and rock on, can't go wrong when it comes to towing power.

So now that we have that behind us, buy what your wife likes and be happy with it. BTW my DW loves the RAM we bought a year and a half ago. So I am golden!

So obvious that both Ram and Ford are incredibly happy that the GM Duramax truck doesn't offer a 4.10 rear ratio because the gap would be a heck of a lot more than 15 seconds. Maybe even a whole minute + as so much more torque (another 10%) would be delivered to the drive wheels that turns them. Educated people know that it's TORQUE and only TORQUE that turns the drive wheels to the RPM desired or wanted. Higher rotation of the drive wheels means faster velocity of the vehicle as the drive wheel OD's are basically equal on all 3 trucks.
Rear ratios: 4.10 / 3.73 = 1.1 or 10% more torque delivered to the drive wheels. Maybe a little difficult for some of you to comprehend, but try!
Also obvious that GM has no need to offer a 4.10 as it already delivers more rotational force to the drive wheels of it's truck than either Ford or Ram.
Let the uninformed begin their BS rambling now! Just show clearly how much you don't really know or understand!

I agree. Wouldn't stop me from buying any of the three. I say pick which one you think looks the nicest and you have yourself a nice truck.

You hit the nail on the head! Even after warnings, it doesn't stop with these two.

It looks like they need to run the new 445 HP/ 915 lbft Duramax up against the old 397 HP/765 lbft engine.

Highest HP gets to the top first, not torque! Chris
