2015 Ram Cummins to win at torque

Best snark from C/D:
the turbo-diesel Cummins inline-six will pack 865 lb-ft of torque for 2015. Yes, that’s a full 5 lb-ft more than Ford’s Power Stroke V-8. You’ll feel it off the line.
But still, 30,000 lb 5th wheel towing on the 3500 is pretty crazy and handily beats Ford and GM.
This is getting ridiculous, they just keep one-upping each other only slightly. I'm just waiting for one of these things to make 1000 lb-ft from the factory.
We are not far from this, seriously. Not sure all that torque is really necessary, though. Add horsepower and fuel economy and you'll do more to improve the functionality.
