What stood out in 2016
Editorial opinion, based on the criteria listed.
Pick: Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty with the 6.7L Power Stroke (440 hp / 860 lb-ft)
Runner-up: Ram 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins (385 hp / 900 lb-ft, Aisin automatic)
Ford led on horsepower by 55 (440 against 385) while Ram's Aisin-equipped 3500 Cummins led on torque, 900 against 860 lb-ft. Weighing both measures together Ford leads, but a torque-first reading would favor Ram. GM's LML was 397 hp / 765 lb-ft. Editorial pick. Ratings shown are the highest offered; other trims are rated lower.
Criteria: Peak rated torque; Rated horsepower
