When it comes to towing heavy, the exhaust braking is where it seems like the Ram has an advantage too. Not something that matters that much for daily driving, but when you load it up, makes a difference in your driving confidence.

I really appreciate how you guys do what you do; the way you deliver the content, how transparent you guys are, and how confident you are in how you build the tunes.

The rams interior alone speaks volumes to the quality of the rest of the truck. Bought a 2021 Laramie 3500 HO and its the best truck I have ever owned!

I watched this video series several months back and took you guys input into consideration as well as test drove a few. Settled on a used 2020 F250 XLT 6.7 with 20k miles. The 10 speed transmission as well as my preference of the look and feel of the ford over the chevy settled my dilemma. So far I love my truck. I've put 5k on it. I daily drove it (mainly highway) and got 21.5 - 22 mpg and have used it to tow a 12' trailer with UTV (get about 18 mpg) and 13k toy hauler (get about 12.5 mpg) through the mountains of WV. Thanks for the good videos. I'll be getting ahold of you guys about a 2020 powerstroke tune soon!

Your series really helped me. Sincerely. Thank you! I drove them all. Bought the 250 Powerstroke....and I was a Chevy guy. But, as you said at the end, each has its own unique positives and negatives and I really don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Thanks again.

The rough ride the noise is what a truck was,I like the hear my truck a lot like my loud motorcycles.Love the solid front axles also old school for me.

GM pickups are made for the city folk who pull a boat or small camper on the weekends. Ram and Ford are the real workhorses that go everyday.

Sold my 2018 Ram 3500 that was tuned, hated the aisin shitbox, it slipped and was like having a centrifugal clutch. Purchase d a 2021 chevy 3500 and it absolutely blows the ram away in every way stock.

I have a 22 High country DRW and tow all year round 16k at least, and the Allison doesn’t miss a step, never have I felt it searching for a gear. Completely happy with my purchase and I did do extensive research on the Ram.

Since most of us have to leave all of the emissions in tact, I would have to go with Ram they seem to have less issues overall in that area. But man that new 2020 Super duty is pretty sweet!👊🏻

I love these non biased videos👍

I’ve never felt the need to tune, these trucks always had enough capacities for me. I’ve had two 2500s duramax trucks in 20 years. I don’t pull houses for a living, so never felt the need for the Cummins. The problem I’ve always had with the GM products is the interior. They never seem to hold up. 03 Silverado LT and ‘12 Denali. The Denali has cracks all over the dash, seats are coming apart, passenger seat recline motor is out. Of course in the fully recline position. Being told I have to buy a whole seat. I guess I didn’t trade it in fast enough.

Had Ford's, mother-in-law had Ram's, we both went Duramax, never looking back! We both Tow large fifth wheels & My mother-in-laws a Badass!

Please!!! For love of god!!! Figure out tuning for the Aisin even if we have to purchase a new TCM.

Ram for interior and room, I feel they set the bar. I didn't even consider GM because that 10 speed isn't really an Allison 1000.

Thank you for the awesome video!! I think the Ford is the best overall pick for pulling heavy, daily driving no load, interior room, etc The RAM if all you do is pull heavy loads in the mountains. The chevy/gm if you want a nice luxurious truck ride.

I love these unbiased videos unlike TFL being a Ford commercial

Great comparison but 3500 dually vs 3/4 ton srw will always ride 100x different. Ram 2500 ride quality is 100x better than them all with rear coils but it cant handle that much pin weight.

Just shows how well the cummins aisin pair together. Biggest truck, lowest hp, best 0-60 and best braking

I was leaning GM but I guess Ford will be my next truck. As far as the 12 inch screen, I would rather have the 8 with big knobs and my wife agrees....

Great Stuff thanks for sharing - I'm not behind your thoughts on the 10 speed in the Duramax, I feel its a great asset since you now have a gear for any load at any speed, you don't get that in a 6 speed. You buy a HD truck to pull, when you pulling a load the last thing you want is the transmission to skip gears. I'm a long time Cummins guy, just changed out for a 24' GMC HD, I'm really enjoying it. Like you said the ride and feel of the Jimmy is unlike the other two trucks. Keep up the great work! Mike

You hear all kinds of rumors but I heard of a 10 speed in the works for the dodge no idea if that true . I a fan of extra gears and all ways been so . Especially towing a load . Really appreciate the videos

What I like about the sound of the Cummins over the powerstroke and durmax. You hear more motor. I like the sound of it at idle and going down the road, sounds like a truck vs the other 2

The Ram is built for Hotshot work and it has the best towing

Good series of videos, very fair commentary as well.

Them 3 trucks are awesome We all different we pick the one we like better

I feel all around the Ford scores the highest. But to each their own!!! They are all great trucks. We just being men are so into every detail it’s funny.

If ram just kept making the g56 6 speed manual an option that’d be my preferred transmission.

It's wild that even with the lower profile tires on the duramax, he said that it rides the best loaded. All I care about in a truck is reliability and comfort as my truck basically is used for towing. The L5P is clearly the most reliable of the modern diesels

when you have been building diesel engines for over 100 years.....trust me they don't need the most horsepower and torque ......they need to pull.....welcome to cummins.

Good video series. Learned a lot. What's up with the elliptical up on the rack? Y'all going to start tuning exercise equipment?

The smartest thing ford every did was make their own Diesel engine in house The 6.7 powerstroke has been a solid engine

This is the exact video I needed to help make up my mind

I love my new cummins i hate independent suspension thats what made me go with my 6.7l its my second cummins i had an 06 5.9 but the interior on my new truck is amazing

How do you think about the fact that the GMC wax coats their frames, for those of use who live in regions with snow and ice? I have friends in Canada who say within a year or two their GMs are starting to rust.

I have a 2020 2500hd duramax At4 on 35s 8 inch lift with a derringer turnner and iam really happy with it.

Great review on all three trucks! Thanks!! You should do a comparison on all 3 half size diesels. Lol.

Love my 18 ram 3500 srw with aisin. Its strong and pulls 30k lbs stock. These arent race trucks! Aisin is plenty fast stock, loaded or not. The guys complaining about empty shifting r the idiots driving a 1ton to walmart.

Transmission makes a huge difference in pulling power. If cummins had ford's 10 speed behind it their would be zero competition In pulling power. More gears means lower starting gears. Same thing goes when you put a manual in Low/1st gear they will roll without even touching the throttle no matter what behind it just because the gear is low as my life

Cummins just can’t be beat for towing doing more with less hp

Love the way you guys disect this... Thanks, D. JACKSON

I'm on my 3rd ram. I have a 21 3500 HO tuned by calibrated power, and I'm going to order a 23 Superduty f350 the day they are available. I'm just tired of rams transmissions and now that ford is putting the new interior in, it's a no brainer. I'll miss the exhaust brake. I'm over being a ram fan. Like you said, the aisin unloaded leaves a lot to be desired. The Ford gets 2mpg-ish better. From your experience, 3:31 or 3:55 on the Superduty? Not into lifting the truck and use stock size tires. I tow a 20k 5th wheel toy hauler through the mountains of Colorado. I hear the 3:31 has the same ratio as the 3:55 in 9th gear (1480ish rpm @75mph) but also can chug along in 10th gear for better mpg.

I have a fully deleted and ECM, TCM tuned 2020 F350 and y'all are on the money about the power. Even with Tune 1 it just has power anywhere you want it.

And that’s why Cummins have a record for being on the road more than both ford and chevy because it’s Not about how fast you can get the job done, it’s about doing it properly and safe.

Great video, thank you very much for comparing this in such detail. I looked for a heavy duty truck earlier this year and purchased the Ford Tremor Powerstroke. I am not brand loyal and considered also the RAM w the Cummins. Unfortunately I didn't know about the GMC Duramax. I used thg Tremor to tow a 8k lbs travel trailer 17k miles cross country and it did really good doing so. The exhaust brake works sometimes great and other times it seems it doesn't work at all. I wished that would be improved. Is the gas mileage improved after you tune these trucks?

So many armchair experts here its hilarious reading all the comments. Some of the anecdotes and excuses blow me away

I LOVE my 2020 GMC 3500HD AT4...drives like a dream, tows even better(22.5k GN), and it's bone stock...It's hard for me to imagine that it could be any better than it is, towing or not...

What truck would nick choose?? You didn't ask him the $85k question!! WTF!

All I know is my 22’ HO cummins when it’s gots a trailer and towhaul is on. It’s a freight train. I wish it drove like that unloaded. It literally lives to pull.

I prefer the Cummins. That in-line 6 putting out the torque in a lower RPM range just seems way better for towing

Great video 👍👍👍👍 very informative and honest.

I have watched all five of your videos this morning, and for the most part I agree with a lot of what you guys say and think you guys put a lot of good information together and did good putting puttin all things together as a complete package. One thing I think you should have put more effort in to was a discussion of reliability. Excluding 19 and 20 Rams and certain years of older Duramaxes, ford would be in my opinion the less reliable due to their fuel system. I know some guys go thousands of miles with a cp4, and some guys don't even make it out of warranty before they have a cp4 go down. There is good reason that Ram ditched the cp4 after only 2 years and GM also ditched the cp4 in 2017. Ford is still using that Pump. And in my opinion that's a terrible pump to use terrible quality for us consumers especially at the price point. The next questionable thing with the Ford is the non-serviceable 10-speed transmission. In my opinion that's stupid for a truck made to work and towheavy loads. Ford is pretty much given us a throwaway transmission, if they were cheap that would be one thing, but they're not cheap if you could even get one in the first place. A machine made to work should have a serviceable transmission and should at least have a dipstick for checking oil level. Which the new 10 speed in the Ford does not have. I'd say the RAM and GM would be a few steps more reliable than the Ford and that should be a major concern to anybody looking to buy an $80000 plus truck. I had a 21 F350, I had it for a month before I decided to trade it on a 21 Ram. I will say the Ford is a rocket ship and definitely a race truck out of the three, especially over the ram. But with tuning that is less of an issue. Although I still give Ford nod for power. Other than that the ram was just a nicer truck, way better exhaust break, nicer interior definitely a quieter interior. Have not spent much time in a GM, so can't comment on that. But a sound quality inside the cab between the Ford and the ram was no comparison to me or my wife. The ram wins hands down. Ram also has a couple cool futures and such the foud does not, one thing with the ram is you are able to view any of the cameras at any time while going down the road, Ford does not and I believe still does not have that option. The last thing I'll point on that you guys did not, is how much easier the Cummins motor is to work on, for most things, changing oil on the other hand is definitely more of a pain on the ram then the Ford, but other than that when the time comes you have to do repairs I'd much rather be doing it on the ram over the Ford or GM. Whether I was paying to have it done or doing it myself.

Are you able to tune a 2020 Ram 5500? Just wondering if I could get stock power of 3500 were the cab and chassis are detuned. The truck is a monster towing anyways but who doesn’t want more? Thanks in advance!

Fun comparison to watch, but very different trucks a dully ,an off road truck and a fancy Forman truck.

What about longevity of the v-8's? There is a reason Cummins quit making the 903 v-8. The V-8's have less low end torque. Maybe they have improved but after many years of working on diesel engines of all sorts the inline 6 will out last any v-8.

My 2021 Duramax 6.6 high country with the Allison 10 speed tranny does feel like it can do a whole lot better but it seems like it struggles through the gears... it acually drives way better when I'm pulling my trailer... I thought it was just me... but yes. The potential is there for performance... I don't think the Ford is an option for me I would definitely do a Cummings if I had to..

Wish you guys would sell Allison trans tune to me. Trans tuning isn't illegal to sale for a deleted and tuned LMM Duramax. The trans tunes are not deleting anything, just adjusting shift points, down shift, and TC lockup. Love your trans tune videos, contacted you to buy the trans tune and got rejected. Lost all my business and respect and have let my fellow diesel drivers know about it too. What a shame. PPEI will sale me their trans tunes, even knowing the truck is deleted and engine tuned by another tuner. They know and understand trans tunes are perfectly legal to sale regardless if a truck is deleted or not.

Hi jw for gmc are the 2020 duramaxs steering different then the 2019 and does it have the same ingines

I have to wonder when you're referring to shift and lockup schedules of tuned trucks if they manipulated by the tunes? I know the Aisin transmission cannot be manipulated, where my RAM 2500 with the 68RFE and trans tunes made it a COMPLETELY different truck to drive.. I feel if the others had custom schedules that this comparison would still not be fair for RAM.. I know it's hard to hit every point when doing these comparisons..

What were the gear ratios of each truck? Thanks

Are you guys working on half ton trucks? I traded my cummins for a 1500 duramax

What is Cummins stock torque on the dyno?

I just brought a 2021 F350 6.7 Tremor. Badd Azz truck...just incredible. A close 2nd that I considered was the 21 Ram 3500 big horn with 6.7 HO cummins 4:10 gears cp3 1075 torque But ford was 6k cheaper

Ram kills them all in quality and the big aisan trans is built by Toyota best tow rig out there why u think hotshot guys use rams ?

I have a 2020 Ram 3500 flatbed, and I’m having trouble finding a tow tune for it.

It’s a shame a person can’t get a manual trans.

The Ford makes 1050 stock.

This is nice video but they are all 3 very close so why not look into the build quality. How is the engine designed or how reliable is the transmission. How easy is it to work on or how easy is it to do maintenance. The cummins is an old design engine and cast iron and seems like would be .ore bullet proof. I've heard the gmc and ford have aluminum heads. If a trucks ride is slightly better but the other truck is more reliable, I pick reliable over anything. Why not add in a review how to change oil, the transmission fluid. Maybe take a look at the design of the engine and transmission.

TFL did a sound test. And the Cummins was quieter

I test all 3 and both 2500’s and ended up with the 3500 cummins, the ford road the best, felt the fastest and most powerful but the cummins was close in comfort and the fuel economy being so much higher made it worth the trade off. The GMC was the ugliest and did not ride like an 86k truck

I drive a 2018 Cummins dually everyday for work. My lb7 would blow the doors off that turd. 75000 dollar waist of space

Just picked up a 21 F250 which is my first step back into diesels after I got rid of my LLY a few years back. Don’t see much for tuning out there, everything seems to be for 17-19 only? What are my best options if I want a moderate tune done well?

I don't get why only 1 is a dually. Not a Argument ender for sure.

Why are you saying that the Ford has 900 and something tq? The 20 Ford has 1050 lb ft of torque which is class leading!

L5p is the best

Have y’all turned a 3.0L duramax, if so where can I find the video?

Do you guys do off road tunes for the powerstroke?

The gmc IFS does not compare to the ram or the Ford you'll be replacing front end parts 2 some times 3 to 1. It's rides like a car because it's front end is built like one.

What about fuel economy loaded versus unloaded why is everyone avoids the question of cost per mile, with fuel prices going up every day it's a big factor!

I'd take the Ram 1st- best looking, best interior, Cummins torque and exhaust brake, option of factory rear air suspension. I loved my '18 Cummins Aisin Ram, only real downside is the Aisin isn't tuneable. I'd take the Ford 2nd, I like the alumiduties. The GM twins can burn in hell. They're absolutely HIDEOUS!! Like Pontiac Aztek levels of hideous. GM needs an emergency restyle of those abominations. I also don't like IFS on an HD truck. Also, as a point of emphasis- all the new diesels are whisper quite. Too quite in fact, I wish they were much louder. I like diesel clatter.

Interesting review, sounds unbiased as any. However, please stop using the word “positivity”! The liberals and snowflakes love the “tivity” words. Those words are all about emotional feelings and “sensitivity”… 😩

2020 Ford is completely trash, I’ve drove a brand new 2020 Ford across country 3 times for work pulling a light enclosed trailer to pick up equipment from job sites, the 10 speed it had was the biggest joke of a transmission, it didn’t have any power pulling a 4K pound trailer at the most loaded after 70 mph, averaged between 5.6 - 6.5mpg on all 3 trips, most uncomfortable interior ive been in, exhaust brakes sucked, and truck swayed all over the road with the trailer loaded and unloaded.

Did back to back drives of a 2020 duramax vs a 2020 powerstroke. Ford 10sp blows the Allison 10sp away. Duramax rides better then Ford.

Please tune a 3.0 Duramax! That truck would destroy the 1/2 ton market with a few more ponies.

Why put a dually in this? Makes no sense

When is the L5P turbo going to be ready? 😉lol

Cummins is more reliable

GM interiors are junk!!!

With the factory air level system on RAM is EASILY the best ride! GM bias is showing (big shock)

Cummins gets 5 more miles per gallon................

Ford F-250 and ram 3500 better than gmc

As usual the duramax is the best engine and ride, too bad GM gave it a cheap interior. It's crazy how GM hasn't improved it after seeing Ram steal their customers over the last 2 years. Most people judge a vehicle by its interior and exterior appearance and the Ram wins by a mile over GM and Ford.

I like the Duramax always I just don't like a Ford all a Dodge

7 thumbs down from the Tundra group.

Do you keep the defuel settings for the aisin equipped trucks ?
