I understand the first video, as it relays just how flexable the frame is... and how well the suspension does it's job...
but the others I do have a little issue with... especially the second and third ones.
the second can be almost completely elimenated by loading your trailer correctly... and by not letting off the throttle as the semi goes by... or... by just accelorating after the semi goes by...
so what's that test prove? that Fords are better for people who need to learn about towing things proberly? for people who often carry unsafe loads?
don't get me wrong... the technology is great... but again... wouldn't be that big a deal if it was just properly loaded.
the 3rd video is just stupid... so great... you can haul a heavier load with the ford at higher speeds... just what we need. This has to do with frame ridgity... so basicly it's a 2nd test proving what the first did... ford has a fully boxed frame that's quite stiff...
the 4th video, I'm just intrested how much of the human factor came in to play... given they were stoping and going... and you have humans driving so how do you get relative data? also it says 38m... that's great... but what does it mean? 38 mins at what speed? a lower speed would relate to maybe .5 or 1 mpg more... which is where I think this ended up or they'd have said... we went 3 miles further than the dodge... ect.
