Implying no one could make a V6 sound good meanwhile Nissan had the fantastic sound VQ series of engines and the Camero V6 sounded awesome too.

    You're not wrong (and funny) but today's trucks are really amazing anyway. The 'back in my day' crowd can't seem to appreciate that you can go buy a half ton off the lot that will tow 10k lbs, do 0-60 in the 6 second range, get 19mph on a road trip, cool your taint off in the summer, stop you from crashing if you aren't paying attention, play anything from the world's library of music on demand, show you turn by turn navigation, redirect you to a gas or food stop at will and get you to a remote campsite over gnarly terrain. And if you want to spend a little bit more and give up 2k or that 10k towing you can go 0-60 in 5.5, do 60-80MPH offroad and jump your factory stock truck. It's a golden age of trucks and people still complain. :D

    Yes and no.. the trailer weights keep changing from year to year, making it extremely hard to compare results from year to year. I really wish they would make benchmark trailers with fixed weights for each class. They can still do the "max tow" test too, but for more accurate testing from truck to truck, year to year, they need to eliminate some variables.

    I liked the video, but I’m confused at the results. Is the score based on towing up and down the IKE Gauntlet or about the seats, tech and tow hooks. The scoring needs to be scientific as possible which means only assessing limited variables. The Tundra matched or exceeded the Ram in all towing perimeters with one exception…MPG. They admitted that they got slowed a few times on the Tundra as well which requires more fuel to get back up to speed going up hill. The MPGs were close enough that I would say they’re the same with the extra accelerations. Tundra matched downhill brakes. Tundra exceeded in sound, pulling and stability. Not to mention that it had more power ready according to Andre. I agree that the Ram has the best interior. No question. I find it ridiculous to do a towing test and assess which one wins based on interior. Just saying.

    I'm really curious how they came up with the scoring on this because it seemed like all their complaints were very minor. -No tow hooks - Unless your truly off-roading you won't use those and you know there will eventually be aftermarket options . -Large grille - I think aesthetics is personal preference and shouldn't affect scoring on a towing exam . -Trailer brake location - There's literally two paddles to the trailer brake, you don't need to look at it to use it so complaining about how it's hidden is behind the steering wheel is ridiculous . Overall it was quieter and and had a better feeling when towing over the RAM but yet still scored lower on a towing exam. I think they just don't want to admit that an American made Toyota is just as good as the big 3.

    The penalized the Tundra for fuel milage while remarked it was much better than the ecoboost. So quieter and more fuel efficient than the ecoboost. Not bad at all. Nothing wrong with the Ram except it was way noisier both downhill and uphill. These are all important when towing long distances. I can't recall any Ike gauntlet test where any vehicle has ever been penalized for having no tow hooks whether it had them or not. It almost looks like you didn't want it to win. C'mon guys get a grip. And no I'm a Ram fan and have been for a while. Not so much Ford. Forget GM.

The new Tundra is not the end all for those who think it is. PS, I’m glad I don’t have a turbofied engine for long term longevity reasons (very happy with my new truck as many think they’ll get better mileage w/ their smaller turbo engine or hybrid (yeah, likely) but does not guarantee lower cost ownership to naturally aspirated, overall / lifetime ownership.

The real game changer will be the hybrid Tundra when that finally comes out. That said, you really gotta hand it to Ram and the Hemi.

    Something that needs to be said about these turbo V6s. The fact that they make around 100lb-ft torque more than horse power , means the torque peaks early and then begins to drop a lot. HP and Torque being equal at 5200rpm ( also the peak of the HP in the Toyota) means that the torque is on a downslope very early in the RPM. It will be a good towing engine, but it will feel almost like a diesel, with very little use for building RPM.

The towing was pretty good and I was impressed with the MPG. I ended up buying an F250 that has been a nightmare - I sold it after only 10 months. Breaking down repeatedly is more annoying than the phantom shifts! lol. But I still don't like the shifter dial. Maybe you can turn off the self-park shift thing on the ram??

This application of the V35A-FTS may be new in a truck but it is not new altogether; it’s been in service in the flagship LS500 since 2017.

I like V8s as well, but you don’t think Toyota hadn’t thought what you just thought? They have an entire team that tests these theories in real life in mule trucks. This had been developed and perfected to their standards for the past 2+ years minimum. The sign if the times. I remember I n 1974 when I was in grade 6 the principal in our school had said there will no longer be V8s and full size trucks would be powered by 4 cylinder motors with induction like a supercharger or turbocharger, steaks would cost $10 each in the grocery store, gas would be $5 per gallon. All true!! The GM full size trucks will have the 2.7 4 cylinder, (designed the same way a 4 cylinder turbo diesel is designed and made of the same cast material as the Duramax) 310 HP and 420 LB FT of torque!!! It will all happen nice and low in the power band where a truck needs it as well!! I am positive that truck will out perform the 5,3 litre V8!! The 5.3 has 355 hp and 383 lb ft of torque, but it happens much higher in the rev range. The 5.3 pulls decent mind you because for today’s V8s it has its torque peak and curve occurring about 1000 rpm lower than the Ford 5.0 for example. The 5.0 outperforms it overall though, especially unladen. Times are changing. People gotta change with the times or they are road kill!! Pun intended, haha.

    The engine is very different from the Ford. They're both turbo V6 but the tundra is built like a diesel with a long stroke and small bore that's not very high revving - the performance is much more diesel like. The Ford is a wide bore short stroke - more like a race car engine. The Ford engine is designed to be free revving and probably a good bit quicker in a drag race. The tundra engine seems to perform a lot like you'd expect from the engine specs.

    Why didn't we get the Tundra acceleration run like we did for the Ram? There are many stories on the Tundra's engine being underwhelming with acceleration, considering it has nearly the power of a Ford 3.5 Ecoboost. Also, on the sound reading on the Ram, it read 63.6 first and then 67 once near the windshield, very likely due to defroster being on. I'm not saying the Tundra did not do well, but it is not the knockout that was billed to be to take out the Big 3.

All new engine, twin turbochargers, complex electronics…will it stand the test of time? It’s a gamble and, considering the price of trucks these days, the better bet is definitely Ram.

    Power is sufficient for the limited capacity of a half ton platform. They just are not going to be as fast as a gasser. If you want fast buy the 6.2 or 5.7 or twin turbo 3.5s of Ford & Toyota. Toyota has a new small diesel they put in other vehicles. I suspect our government deterred them from putting it in the Tundra which is a shame. It could have been a great optional engine for it. Many wish Toyota would have kept the v8 as an optional power plant also. Overheating is not an issue for the GM, past Ford 3.0 diesel, or the 2020+ RAM Ecodiesel. It was an unexcusable to use your term mistake of the first GEN ram ED due to putting the intercooler in front of the radiator. 🙄. Still not a big problem unless towing heavy and pushed to go fast up a long grade. FWIW I tow new Airstream TTs commercially from their plant to their dealerships nationwide. Eight years 859,000 miles now on my 2014 econo diesel. At 65 or less towing economy is / was tops. With an engine & trans tune exhaust brake WDH & airbags great choice for light to moderate weight towing. Tuned it will tow as much as the Hemi. I did once take a 9,100 pound TT down the 5 from Portland to LA. Up and over 5 & 6 percent grades at Mount Shasta and up the grapevine. It averaged 14.0 mpg. With the Hemi it would have been 9. It’s really just about choosing the best motor in each manufacturer’s line up for how you are going to use your truck. Unless you have a favorite then stick with those.
