What I can say about the measly 910 ft. lbs. torque that the Chevy produces vs the 1,000 ft. lbs. from Ram is the Chevy will put more torque to the rear wheels. I saw towing tests and the Chevy beat the Ram and the Ford.

That gives me the idea that Chevy is fibbing less.

Most of the towing reviews I've read give the Ram the overall edge in towing. While it may be slower it's more stable. One thing I've noticed over my 50 years of driving is that most of the time traffic dictates speed. And so does paying a ticket for speeding. All 3 of these trucks are 100% capable of doing the speed limit up most every grade. Real world towing is different from tests like FLT does. If I get passed by a Ford or GM up a passing lane in the mtns, I can almost guaranty that in the next couple miles I'll be right on his a$$ because he just caught up with the next group of slow cars.
I much prefer the truck that feels good when driving over the fastest.
