Sorry but I hope you don't wager any $ on this so called test. As mentioned too many variables filling the tanks.
Even if so it's still not enough of a reason to pick the Ford, now let's add the good towing mirrors and the tight turning radius of the 450. UH, nope still not enough to make a buying decision. 😉

Have you ridden in one towing on rough roads? I have and there is a difference.
The rough roads were on their fuel economy tests. So I am waiting to see how the RAM compares with rear air.

I think we have already seen a preview of what the 2020 HO cummins will do. It was essentially a tie with the Duramax although some will argue it was a DRW therefore packing more weight.
What I'm really interested in is the HO cummins fuel economy towing 30k at this point.
The 2500 SRW GM should have smoked the DRW RAM. 10 speed, lighter weight, less tire drag and less wind resistance.
Mileage on all three in REALITY should be similar. Not enough of a difference to make a buying decision.
I hand calculate every tan by filling to the top. Solo mileage computer is .4 higher than calculated. Towing in mountains or strong headwind computer is right on or slightly higher. Never is the computer lower.

The "previous" units have. Look in the video of the Flame Red model I did not see the load sensors and did see a big spring pack.
At 18:11 in the video you get a peek at the list of options: Automatic Level/rear air suspension shows up under the max tow package.
