Let me get this straight, The Ford Super Duty was the fastest and best tower, yet it got second place? The only complaint was that the truck didn't turn like a super car and the throttle wasn't responsive on minor throttle adjustments? But the GMC sticks at high RPM's and wins? I'd like to see the test in the rain and see that GMC slip and slide while the Ford safely drives on.

@Rogelv8td the ford would still kick the dodges ass

@gearhead2k6 you are right, they completely missed the point. these are not sports cars... ;)

I like the 350, myself, and it would easiest to upgrade with aftermarket parts. But if I won any of these in a contest I would be more than happy to have it.

this is why trucks should be tested by truck people and not super car people.

I like ford and really hate GMC

I think the Ford SD is equipped with an electronic feature that will momentarily delay throttle, by a fraction of a second, if it senses sudden and very agressive full-throttle input from a standing start to preserve engine life. I own a 2012 Ford F-350 diesel King Ranch just like you see here, and it's simply an awesome truck! But I think all the trucks in this demonstration are all great and quite capable of performing their intended functions.

@aligathorchicago Tundra's are over-rated. Nice trucks with great ride and resonable quality but not the best frame (you need a good backbone to do the work these trucks are expected to do, and the Tundra seriously lacks in this critical area).

[aligathorchicago]

form all of them I would chose Tundra:)

[lariatfx]

Stop bickering, everyone! They're all great trucks and are fully capable of doing thier intended jobs. Instead of saying one is "shit" (which non of them are!), let's just agree that one is better than the other. To say one truck is "shit" relative to another is to admit your naivity-if not your stupidity. I'm a Ford truck guy; I recently purchased a 2012 SD. But I do like the GMC and Dodge as well (in fact, it was hard for me to not choose the 2012 GMC HD).

Just because they voted the Chevy (Re-badged as GMC), I will never watch Edmunds Inside Line ever again. Fuckin' assholes. GMCs and Chevys are garbage.
