@Saieno86 chevy had tests done by AMCI with howie long. I liked watching them, of course they are all about chevy, but I think they did a better job testing and comparing the 3 trucks.
@beaver241980 I have no idea how they are driving the Chevy, but in my Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0 carrying a little over 1000 lbs (no sagging) it'll coast at 35mph with little to no acceleration at all. Based on my driving style (I drive much the same as you) I get about 12 to 15mpgs. These tests just don't seem to be accurate, or they are a bit biased. I'd like to see AMCI test them.
notice how the ford guy didn't say what they got for miles per gallon.
I drive everyday at my work a 2011 F250 with the 6.2, carrying abound 1200 lbs in it everyday. we needed to put airbags in the back to help with the weight cause the back was sagging too much and throwing off the geometry of the front end, also, we get no better than 12mpgs. I'm really careful with not reving the motor past 2500rpm everytime i accelerate also. we drive it real world, no tests can reproduce that.
@ohblondi Yeah but the dodges motor is like the new duramax, its squeezing its guts out for all that power, the 6.2 isn't. When dodge gets a new motor, Ford will just give the 6.2 more power just like the rest of the boys.
I like how Ford brags they have best in class torque and horsepower...Horsepower is 2 higher than the ram and torque is 5 higher. But yet Ford needed an extra half liter to get that. And how did the dodge lose the dodge gets better mileage than the ford by 2 MPG. Do your research
@beaver241980 Ah thanks I'll have to check it out!

@abbamamamia if you are smart you can get 7-800 horse from a diesel for under 5gs

@bobwatters Yep, I totally agree, I've seen some good chevys
That being said, my ford does the job I want it to do, and it does a really really awesome job!
