What stood out in 2010

Editorial opinion, based on the criteria listed.

Pick: Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD with the Duramax LMM (365 hp / 660 lb-ft)

Runner-up: Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty with the 6.4L Power Stroke (350 hp / 650 lb-ft)

GM's LMM led narrowly on both measures: 365 hp / 660 lb-ft against 350 hp / 650 lb-ft for both Ford's 6.4L and Ram's 6.7L Cummins. The margins are small (15 hp, 10 lb-ft), and lower ratings applied to some chassis-cab trucks. Editorial pick; a close call. Ratings shown are the highest offered; other trims are rated lower.

Criteria: Peak rated torque; Rated horsepower
