I voted #1 only because I don't know the HP/TQ limits of the 2019 Ram drivetrain. Had to also comment that there is a bragging right with highest numbers that translates to sales. I'm diehard Ram, so I'm not impacted by all the hype, but I believer there is a target sales group out there that could be persuaded by the BIGGEST numbers. Lots of folks entering the RV world who are attracted by the HIGHEST HP/TQ, and lots of folks who purchase the BEST deal.
IMHO, Ford made two HUGE marketing successes: The jumped ahead BIG on the HP/TQ numbers AND they are providing THOSE big numbers on every configuration.
So, where do I think this is going? We have to see how well Ford performs and we have to see what Ram and Chevrolet are going to do to minimize marketing impact, like new marketing strategy, or either ACCELERATE or START next generation effort to go higher. Matching IMHO may improve sales, but BEST, HIGHEST, STRONGEST, LONGEST LASTING, ETC.... are needed.
Fun to watch!
