Not only that, shows some gearing information and you will see
differences...these small trucks will do anything to show performance
numbers. Now if the Dodge Truck group apply the top of the line vehicle to
its line like the Toyota commercial, then the V-8 should be it.
Another is the weight factor as you described..

How about comparing like trucks together... oh that's right the only TRUE
midsize is the dakota... no competition. Therefore where are the 6
cylinder full size acceleration numbers. After all at 6500 lb towing that
it full size catgory, not pint size.
