And also note that it produced a higher MPH at the top of the grade in every single test, but the ford was a little quicker. THat can be attributed completely to the gearing advantage of the ford, as the v10 with a comparable 3.73 gear would have been destroyed quite easily.
For the diesels, the GM pickup literally just destroyed the other two, and i mean destroyed. Ford V10 FTMF...L honestly.
