Default Latest tests... HD to HD

http://www.chevrolet.com/hd-to-hd-truck-comparison/

Chevy Silverado HD2HD | Pickup Truck Comparison | Chevrolet.com

not trying to start a debate or war..Just wanted to share some info... I own both, and dont see the differences especially in the payload video's vs my experience on a daily basis. Acceleration videos I will agree, but not to that extent..maybe different gear ratio's, and not making excuses for the Ford. Not stating which one is better due to I feel both are better at one thing vs the other.. Im not brand loyal and call it like it is.. I still prefer the Ford for every day abuse. Good read, keep it civil like gentlemen so this thread doesnt get yanked like on all the diesel forums I just loaded...LOL.. Thanks guys.. Jeff

Another biased one sided test. I bet if Ford payed someone to "test" all their vehicles theirs would be on top.
Too bad they didn`t do a beauty contest cause the Chevy with those retarded oversized fenders and 90`s interior is ugly .

I work in service at dealerships selling both brands. Ford is light years ahead of gm in quality. There is a reason my truck has a blue oval on it!

Jeff thanks for the article. I trust your opinion on theses trucks as u drive both and put miles on them!

Reminds me of BMW "pocket padded" tests where they can lose in majority or sometimes damn near all categories yet still get 1st place lol.

Every magazine or website 3/4 and 1 ton diesel comparison has overwhelmingly chosen Chevy/GMC (for being faster better towers, better ride/handling, far superior brakes and better fuel economy).....but I'm sure those are biased paid deals.

GM has extensively compared the 2 trucks, and would not invite these types of comparisons or publish tests that can easily be verified if they weren't real.

Ford has a reputation for quality diesels? I guess I was getting my news somewhere else about the never ending issues w/ the 6.0. Hopefully this new one fares better.

Both are nice trucks that will get the job done, but Ford has their work cut out for them.

Really all 3 HD trucks are pretty comparable now, even Dodge finally put in an interior that doesn't feel like it will fall/rattle apart lol. I think it all comes down to preference, mine is Ford... they just have this solid feel and ride to them that the others don't have and like the interior best of the 3. Can't go wrong with any of them, didn't Dodge just up their numbers to like 800 for torque?

WOW did you see the smoke from the brakes on the Ford after the brake fade test

Rigged or not, it shows how each truck performs under those circumstances.

Good find and review.

Dodge does have the best looking dually fenders though! They got smooth last year and the other two need to copy it!

I have to completely agree with the Engine Brake Test... this was a MAJOR disappointment for me with this truck. The so-called Ford exhaust brake is simply a smoke and mirror marketing ploy.
