Or better yet do the test with all the rear end ratios supplied by each manufacturer.
I really like this idea. Then we'd have an idea of comparison of different axle ratios within a single brand as well as between brands. What a great idea, Dean.

And, oh what a surprise that the 3.73 gets better mileage than the 4.10 which gets better mileage than the 4.30 axle. It oughta be illegal to publish comparisons like that without clearly annotating the results that the axle ratios differ. Not everybody goes looking in the chart to see if those are all apples.

I'm still planning to find the magazine so I can see if they are all crew cabs or are there weight penalties because one is a supercab and another is a crewcab, etc.
