2016 RAM 3500 tow test from TFLT for those that have not seen it.

A good review.

Where are the long steep hills/mountain passes that would demonstrate 900 lb./ft. of torque? As someone else posted on another thread... "the flattest ground he's ever seen".

From the sounds of it, they were invited to the testing grounds...I'd like to see it pull the Ike pass with the B/hoe on it..

Towing 30K is a handful even on the freeways. I wonder what it would feel like on some steep crooked two lanes, like 8 or 9 percent? Will the auto's lockup in 1st or 2nd on the e-brake? I don't think it would be safe in the logwoods at 12 percent, 1st would be too fast?

Interesting...basically the new trucks are even more amazing than just a few years ago...

Comparing my 2016 with 4.10 gears and CC dually, basically same capacities as the video....the truck is way better than my 2011.

Load to about 22K with my truck camper and enclosed trailer hills that slowed my 2011 down I can accelerate up....big difference in 650 going to 900 # of torque. And my old truck was the same, 4.10 CC dually 6 speed laramie.
