I'd like to see the 0-60 time with 3.92 gears, my 2010 with 3.92 rear diff feels a lot quicker than 7.4 seconds.

Default contradiction

funny how different each review can be, even the review on this site give the edge to the ford and says the ram could not pull their load. this review says the ram pulled a load as well as the tundra.....as for the gear comment that will definitely make a difference but we also dont know what gear was on the others for comparison.

it is nice to see this, after reading this site too much i start to question the truck....bottom line though is nothing rides like this thing and the 2009 tow rating is light that is why they chaged it for 2010 and took away the lifetime warranty.

The test truck did have 3.92 rear diff.

However, the wording in the article suggest that the 3.92 was holding it back.

"But the 390-hp 5.7-liter V8 is held back in our acceleration runs by its optional 3.92:1 rear-axle ratio and a five-speed transmission...."

Where did they get the "Over $50K for the Laramie..." pricetag ??

I've always looked to Edmunds for info about "Realistic / Realworld Pricing", but it sounds they took the highest sticker price and disregarded the defacto massive discounting.

Ya but like he said realworld pricing was not even close in any of their pricing except the chev and the toyota cuz those two as far as I have seen personally will not negotiate on pricing.

They had to go with the sticker price as the prices vary from dealer to dealer, they should have mentioned that you can pick up the trucks for a lot less then the sticker price though
