The guys at TFL finally did the Ike gauntlet and the new inline 6 did relatively well aside from the downhill portion. The downhill had way too many brake applications. They say the RPMs were too low as if tow/haul and engine braking were disabled. That's pretty disappointing.
The climb was good, the Dmax had better fuel economy and was 34 seconds faster than the new 2020 ecodiesel. Of course mpg estimates are via trip computer but they didn't appear to be outlier #'s and as they seem to be in line with other mpg comparisons between the new ED and dmax.
2020 Dmax - 5.7mpg at 8:09mins, final score 85pts
2020 ED - 5.4mpg at 8:43min, final score 80.5pts
Test differences were the weather and the dmax ran a horse trailer with topside hay storage so it may have experienced slightly more aero drag.
