Ford Claims New Super Duty Tows 356,800 Ounces; GM, Ram Join the Fray

A war of weights has broken out again among the Big Three.  Ford fired the first salvo by listing the maximum towing capacity of its Super Duty pickup in ounces instead of pounds.  As shown in the
graph below from Ford’s new print and internet advertising, the automaker claims its F-350 DRW pickup can tow nearly 357-thousand ounces.

“Ford hauls over 356-thousand ounces,” states the ad.  “Compare that to Chevy’s 22,500 and Ram’s measly 19,000 pounds.  Why buy a truck that tows thousands when Ford Super Duty tows hundreds of thousands?”

Industry sources say GM will respond by claiming its Chevrolet and GMC one-ton models max out at just over 10,205,828 grams, while Ram will boast that its 3500 pickup can tow up to 4,309,127.52 carats.
