Well, you are both almost right. Izuzu makes the parts in Japan, but they are ASSEMBLED in Moraine, Ohio.
I just know my Duramax will blow the doors off either the Ford or the Dodge, without smoking, stinking, or clattering loud enough to wake the dead, and get better mileage doing it!

You know, this is a stupid idea, but what is more stupid are the childish comments I see above. GM, Ford and Dodge all make good products and it basically comes down to what you like better. These are some impressive #s by GM, but I too would like to see a towing dual statistic.

Aaron, BTW, the Duramax is made by Izuzu, a Japanese company, but it has proven to be one the best diesel motors on the market today.

No matter the out come of this stupid idea GM has, its not going to make a die hard ford fan change their mind to GM. Especially if they know anything about diesel trucks. Not to mention GM has never been able to back up any of their trucks with any kind of real proof on how great they are. Also, GM will still be broke while Ford is growing.

John,

Duramax is NOT made in “Japan”… You might wanna do some studing and learn the facts before you post…

I think that is the stupied think I ever heard of. we all know that the durmax has more HP but the rest of the truck is a POS will fall apart in a couple of years. Own both the ford are still running and will out last and out perform GM. and I buy AMERICAN NOT JAPANESE as you know durmax is made in japan

two guys with Toyotas tried to do this a couple of years ago… one guy ended up getting killed. I think we should let Mythbusters test this one….

A stock to stock towining contest of equatable vehicles would be nice to see but the crazy idea of having them hooked back to back is pointless as many other postes have described. Besideds, in the end, consumers will choose their future/replacement vehicles based on a host of items….not just a ‘Towing contest’….keep it real guys

What does a tug of war have to do with how good the truck is, its how good the tires are, why not have a towing contest?
