The best truck for snow plowing - Dodge Ram 2500 vs Ford F-250

What happens here

The presenter compares the transmission shifting feel of both trucks during repetitive forward and reverse movements, typical for snow plowing. He states the Dodge is much smoother and more fluid, allowing for quicker transitions, whereas the Ford has a slight 'clunk' and hesitation between shifts. He then highlights that the Dodge's positive traction helps its rear wheels lock without needing 4-wheel drive, while the Ford would get stuck. The presenter concludes by emphasizing that while Ford and Dodge both have good and bad aspects, the Dodge performed better in these specific snow plowing tests. He expresses excitement for the upcoming 2020 Ford 7.3L gas engine.

Goal: Compare the transmission smoothness and traction capabilities of the Dodge and Ford trucks.
