Here are some interesting numbers from the January 2000 Four Wheeler
magazines "Pickup Truck Of The Year" competition, which the Quad Cab Dak won
of course! They tested a '00 Ram w/360, '00 Dak Quad Cab w/4.7, Nissan
Frontier Crew Cab, and a Toyota Tundra TRD w/4.7. All were 4x4's obviously.
What I found interesting were the published horsepower figures in relation to
their actual dyno figures.
Ram 360 V8 mfg rated - 245 hp 335 tq Dyno at rear wheels - 215
hp 294 tq
Dak 287 V8 mfg rated - 235 hp 295 tq Dyno at rear wheels - 218
hp 246 tq
Toy 285 V8 mfg rated - 245 hp 315 tq Dyno at rear wheels - 198
hp 245 tq
The only caveat is the Ram and Tundra auto transmissions and the Dak had the
NV3500 5 speed manual.
Looks like the 'fierce' Tundra has torque and horsepower numbers that are a
little on the 'liberal' side....
