Ed....to make it as short as possible.....FORD refused to give DIESEL POWER a POWERSTROKE for their towing test against the CHEVY DURAMAX so GM purchased BOTH trucks for them to use in the trailer towing test....to level out the test they managed to snag a former FORD towing engineer to drive both trucks( because he had a CDL to legally haul the load).....I am sorry to report that the FORD didn't stand a chance in overall performance including the exhaust braking test....(the test was pretty extreme BUT the DURAMAX had no issues and the FORD really struggled)this was with 1 ton duallys pulling close to 28,000lbs.GCVW.....

when the test was complete the former FORD engineer returned the loaded trailer with the DURAMAX.....

DODGE'S 1 ton dually wasn't rated to pull this amount of weight due to a lower front axle capacity so they didn't get one for the test even though they mentioned that guys pull more than that with the DODGE'S already.....
