Whether it’s horsepower, torque, payload, or towing capacity, the unceasing numbers battle between the Big Three continues to rage on.Whether it’s horsepower, torque, payload, or towing capacity, the unceasing numbers battle between the Big Three continues to rage on. The industry’s latest bombshell occurred back in January 2013, when Ram broke the news that its ’13 3500 HD would have a 37,600-pound gross combined weight rating (GCWR). As you can imagine, this had the truck world buzzing, and our friends at Pickuptrucks.com got right to work formulating their next mano a mano test. The Ram’s competitor would be none other than the truck sitting atop the towing capacity heap the previous five years: the Ford F-450 Super Duty. Upon delivery, the trucks were tested empty—then spent the next week (and 1,500 miles) at or near their GCWR, thanks to being saddled with 24,500 pounds worth of gooseneck trailer and bricks.
