Sir that's the 2007+ Ram with the 6.7

Are you sure? There really aren't any distinguishing differences in the appearance.

Justin2JZ

There are. Look at the headlights and the tails.

FrankReynoldsCPA

I guess you're right about the differences.

The 5.9 was available for the first half of 07 though :P

Regardless, they both have issues, and it would have been hilarious if the owner had suffered them.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but to that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.

Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backward. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.

It just goes to show, though, that big tires, tacky fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect since the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past.

I dont know why but both of those videos are hilarious to me

JessePS

Honestly. If the person driving the Chevy had an issue, while the guy was pulling him. He could have put it into reserve and rammed the guys bumper, repeatedly.

So all in all, these videos show that, you should never buy a GM built truck.
