According to this link: http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=126169

"The series begins with a randomly selected engine from the Cleveland Engine Plant going through a variety of extreme laboratory and on-road tests. Among the tests the EcoBoost-powered truck performs: hauling tons of timber in the Northwest, towing an 11,000 lb. trailer at top speeds at the Homestead-Miami Speedway and competing head-to-head with COMPETITIVE trucks towing 9,000 lbs. on steep grades at Davis Dam, Nevada."

Sounds to me, Mr. GTO, that Ford will be running "head-to-head" with the Chebby and the GMC boys "towing 9,000 lbs" gasoline powered trucks at some point in future videos.

Don't argue with him Tom, He's still trying to wipe the GM poop off his night vision goggles.
