@kkrankie Its cause they are honest, not like ford where they will lie and say there vehicle is better in every possible way.

i have a 73 f250 thats only 2 wheel drive and i live in colorado, in the mountains lol and all i do is throw some sand bags over my rear axil and skinny tires the limited slip rear end and the truck is heavy as hell ( real american steel) and i havent gotten stuck in it ever its all about the driver

@xboxkiller1264 thats the beauty of this test. It is all a giant waste of time. Anyone tackling a snowy hill will not say to themselved "oh jeee my fuurd f-teen thousand can make it in 2wd", they will use AWD where i bet the difference is very little if any. Now if your truck doesnt have AWD then what are you doing on an icy hill. Although bragging rights means that getting up a hill with only 1 wheel of power is best

So let me get this straight.... they went to/ and were allowed to use the GM proving grounds, and found that the GMC/Chevy didn't do so good? wtf were the higher ups at GM thinking? "Hey I got a good idea... lets let them use our proving grounds, to show how shitty our product is! Brillant!"

thats why the trucks have 4wd, so who really cares how they perform in 2wd cause they can just be switched to 4wd
