Diesel Mag 2011 shootout

[trukndave]

I just read a recap of recent Chevy versus Ford shoot out in Diesel mag for January 2011. Even with Job 2 (400/800), the Chevy beat the SD? I was hoping for the Job 2 to edge out the Chevy in this rematch. I can't understand how this could be? Any thoughts from you hard core diesel guys or technicians?.......

If it was the one thats coming up in diesel power. Theres one thing they forgot to tell you.

They were shooting a chevy commercial

None of those tests mean anything . All biased . I could test them and come up with a completely different answer .

They didn't mention shooting a Chevy commercial, but did say the main driver was an ex-Ford towing guy? I will post the link

"Ford and Chevy were both asked to provide us with a production truck straight off a dealer’s lot. Unfortunately, Ford declined to supply us a vehicle for this test. So, General Motors purchased both 1-tons involved in our 2011 King Of The Hill Shootout from Midwest auto dealers."

Wow, I cant see why the chevy won?

Biased article is biased.

It's kinda comical they left Dodge out of the picture. The cummins 6.7 IMHO, is a great diesel motor, just not quite the hot-rod yet. I have owned all three of the big diesels now and have to say, I've had a great experience with the Dmax, 24v cummins, and now the SD 6.7. Ironically, my worse experience was with a 5.7 Toyota Tundra, which went through a tranny on me after 2000 miles. Crazy stuff.....but still lov'n my SD 6.7!!

Even if its true...I don't care !
This truck has more balls than I'll ever need and beside....I've own a Chevy before and never will again Freakin POS
