but a track pack mustang gt500 is a direct challenger to an HPE 650?
there's a reason that I labeled this thread "Interesting comparison"
did you guys read the first paragraph of the page?

OK, we know what you’re going to say: “This is not an apples-to-apples comparison.” For these two 4x4 pickups, wheelbases, cabs, beds and running gear are not directly comparable.
One’s a crew cab, the other is an extended cab. One is based on a half-ton, personal-use platform; the other is a 3/4-ton commercial-use platform. One is made to go fast; the other to go slow. These two pickups are different animals, right from the start. Anyone can see that, Einstein, so put down your pen and save your e-mails. We’re comparing them anyway, because there are also quite a few intriguing similarities:- Both trucks are off-road ready from the factory.
- Both supply off-road equipment that would be hard to duplicate in the aftermarket without great cost.
- Both represent the “ultimate setup” in the eyes of their manufacturers.
- Both are remarkably free of compromises that trade off desirable qualities for the sake of off-road performance.
- Both are still everyday drivers, with comfort, convenience and safety features consistent with the best new pickups, not to mention factory warranties.

instead of arguing that the comparison isnt apples to apples, why not discuss some of of the different designs of the two trucks and their capabilities?
such as the power wagon's front sway bar disconnect that allows up to 32 inches of travel.
