I don't know if this site has been posted on here before or not, but I'll do it now. If I've repeated something, I'm sorry. This site is probably about as fair a comparison as any I've seen. It does not delve into MPG but gives a pretty fair performance analysis.

I recall reading this one and I think even in this one they used different axle ratios in different brands so it was hard to really compare.

Also, note that the hill climbs in this one are from a DEAD STOP. They are on the hill before they start moving. And that F450 climbed 100 yards up a 25% (yes, 25%) hill in (shoot, I forgot how long) towing that trailer and starting from a dead stop. They didn't even try that hill with any other truck, not even the other Fords.
