Allison 3000 RDS is the only way to go!!

The guys above nailed the issues. Inclines and declines would be a nightmare. Uneven surfaces and soft surfaces too. The last issue, was the 2500 truck increasing rpm in neutral during the head to head? I ask because the 3000 truck was slow as hell manipulating the hook compared to the 2500. I feel like the 3000 was at idle the entire time. Just something else to keep it apples to apples. Not bashing at all. Just trying to keep it real for first time buyers. Solid content as usual!

Great job explaining things guys!

Not sure that wood blocking is doing anything lol,

Quality Trucks. I love you guys and your work… but… I feel this needs a further breakdown.

Great video but that wasn’t using the 3000 to its full potential!!! I’m assuming the 2500 was using the throttle during all movements, the 3000 could have during many of them.

This video was pretty frustrating to watch. An asphalt parking lot is ideal but not the norm for most. Smooth with no incline. Come on now. The $30k price difference isn’t for the same truck with 2 different transmissions. When backing up to hook up to a container requires adjustment as you get closer to connect. Each adjustment requires going into neutral adjusting and then back in reverse. There could be a few adjustments which is annoying to say the least.
