Interesting but they say the Ford was tops in the hill climb, I think they need to look again, it was the slowest in the MPH and second slowest in the speed. If they could come up with another 30 ft lbs of torque on regular 87 or even 89 Ford would have a grand slam instead of a home run. (Flame suit on, by no means am I a Dodge guy). I think the F-150 and Sierra/Silverado are the two best trucks on the market, each providing a little something different for the buyer. It is impressive that a 100 hp difference (403 hp from GM and 300 from ford assuming they ran them on gas and not E85) only resulted in a 3.19 sec difference in the hill climb when towing ( the F-150 was 7.3 mph slower). That means that Ford has really got their transmission gearing and axle ratios really down pat.

On the PickupTrucks.com test, on the hill climb with a trailer, the F-150 was the ONLY truck to gain momentum. It also won other tests outright which they did not mention in the vid. It's the best truck.

Performance is never a winner in the truck market, overall quality will always prevail. And that's why F-150 has been the number 1 selling truck for 29 years

Please show me? I don't see that anywhere.

I'm not sure if I can post this as a direct link but here's the hill test and it says f-150 barely made 5th place, nothing about the only unit to gain speed??????????
