Ford declined the challenge :(
But Chevy and Pickuptrucks.com will do it anyway :)

Where's Mike Rowe and his arrogant attitude when it's not a Ford controlled test?

You know what could be ridiculous and misleading? If GM compared their 2011 truck to Ford's 2010 truck, in a million dollar video production using a TV personality. Seriously, could you imagine such a thing?:I&S:

The local dealers around here are pretty cool, I should just go find two trucks that have the same gears and hook them to the big enclosed and do my own test. Might be the only one I could ever believe, same road, same hill. Even test mileage both empty and loaded.

Most likely GM got a hold of a 2011 Ford and already tried this in private testing. Do you really think they would issue this challenge if they thought there was a chance they would lose?

I assure you they all have each others trucks and test them all to the max, they all know what the others are capable of...

I can't believe our resident Ford (Larry, Curley, and Moe) Three Stooges have not chimed in on this yet:confused:

You can Guarantee that.....
You can also guarantee Ford has done the same...... that's why they don't want to do it........

I was doing a little reading on Ford's 6.7 and 6.4. There's a Ford owner who just found 2 holes in his engine block with no compression in one piston. This was in his 6.4 tow truck with 110000 miles. The other problem I've seen is Ford owners complaining about their 6.7 going into regeneration every 150 miles. Both these complaints are over at DieselStop.com. I'm sure glad I decided to stay with the more proven Duramax.

A friend of mine just had a voluntary recall on his 2011 F250 to incease the HP to 400. He said they, Ford, did it with software. Don't remember what the torque up'd to. Ford dealer told him all the 11's coming off line now are 400 HP.
fords claim to fame is 400 hp and 800 ft lbs....
