At around the 2 1/2 minute mark the Bow Tie guys big engine was screaming torture and the trans was shifting with rattling and vibration and low and behold the EB just blew its doors off on the torture trailer pull. Course it also used the most gas while blowing off the Bow Tie Doors. Fuel consumption means torque and the EB did it at altitude and used the most and the Bow Tie tortured and grunted. It would have had a tough time if it had to slow down while the EB simply smoked it running lower RPM,s

Bow Tie squats with the same tongue weight and the trans doesn't keep the 6.2L at its best Torque point when heavy towing.

Like I said as long as you feel better GM was in 3rd gear barely working while the Ford was in second love the Ford lane guys like it was stated earlier the Ecoboost is a good competitor for the GM 5.3l but not for the 6.2 l hope Ford steps up there game.

I like the looks of Ford and I am a Ford fan but I am convinced TFL is Ford bias. They have no idea how to do proper comparisons they do it in traffic, no manual shifting to red line, they don't tell you what gear there in its a complete joke.

Why would you want to red line it if you can get the job done at a fraction of the RPMs?

So some clowns who are all part of The Ford Lane climb a hill with a overloaded Echoboost in second and first gear and a GM that had the specs of hauling more weight was in third and second gear makes it less powerful? Even I can admit that if they added more weight to the GM would have kept it in second and would have gone faster than the Ecoboost up the hill.
They say many times that GM doesn't tell you the gear.
These same dingbats disproves your own point by doing 0-60's in high altitude and the GM beat it. Any automotive engineer would laugh at these clowns.
It's a different test. They take advantages of different RPM ranges. It doesn't 'disprove' anything.
A real test would be in manual to red line of each gear.
What % of the population actually does this up every damn hill?? Don't try to use this forum as a sample pool because it will not be accurate. In anycase, when the 6.2L GM managed o downshift to 2nd or 3rd or whatever gear, it would just scream and not 'bite'.
