The comments under that article are funny.
800 ft./lbs right off idle---that's a locomotive, not a PU truck. |

I never really get why anyone would buy a new truck other than a Ram Diesel now that they have a ridiculously durable 6 speed automatic. Sure back in the day with the RE series transmissions they would need rebuilds at 100K. Today, the Ram has a cummins and a 68RFE. This is as close to perfect as it gets. The Cummins is variable vane too. Unless I got some smoking good deal on a used truck, I wouldn't even test drive the Rams "competitors."

From what I gather, now the Rams fall apart around their drivetrains....
