@Beastb15 the f450 is clearly a bigger truck? 1 1/2 ton truck compared to a 1 ton? how do those numbers even match up 1900 more towing capacity and its a bigger truck lol, 2 completely different trucks idiot, and towing capacity of the f450 isnt 24400, thats the max 5th wheel. the towing capacity is 17500 on the f450 and on ram 4500 its 17800 lbs try again, this time make yourself look 1/2 way smart or research.
@EvokeDawn Actually you putz, the 2012 Powerstroke makes 800 ft-lbs of torque as well. The 2012 F-450 has a towing capacity of 24,400 lbs. The 2012 3500 is 22,500. So, it looks like Ford didn't need "luck" getting there.
I love listening to brand biased commenters. Tug of wars are the hardest competions to guess who's going to win. It has nothing to do with the badge on the front of the grill. It also has nothing to do with how much horsepower you have, or strictly how much traction you have. It's a combination of traction and power. It's how much torque and horsepower you can make WHILE maintaining traction. You want a horespower contest, then go to the dyno. You want a race, well go to the drag strip.
@edthetallguy Yeah actually thats possible. Though I was refering too a steam traction engine, saying if you want true to the bone pulling power thats where its at lol
(Insert comment pointlessly arguing why either ford or chevy is better)
