2011 Heavy Duty Duramax vs. 2011 F-series Super Duty
The guys at Pickuptrucks.com managed to get GM’s vice chairman of global product operations, Tom Stephens, a little excited – to say the least – in much the same way Lutz got excited and we ended up with the CTS-V Challenge. In a recent interview regarding the new 2011 Duramax equipped Heavy Duty trucks, former executive vice president of GM global powertrain blurted the following out.
“You know what I want to do to prove it? I want to take our truck and Ford’s [new Super Duty] and chain them together back -to-back. Then I want to have them pull against each other. I know our truck will beat theirs.” – Tom Stephens
Editor at Pickuptrucks.com, Mike Levin, asked three times if this was a serious challenge, Stephens confirmed he saw it as the ultimate way to prove the strength of the GM Heavy Duty line-up. So it only makes sense Levine would follow that up with a pass along to Ford with an offer to arrange and referee such an event in Texas. We now wait for their response, and unlike the CTS-V Challenge we do expect a response.
