And in that test or in the real truck use the triton is the torquest amongst the group which is excellent for pulling/towing despite it being a complicated poorly designed engine that mechanics hate to work on them but they can be bulletproofed built right better than when it left the Ford plant (GM guy)
Such as shame since the 2 Valve Triton was bullet proof. We've had half a dozen of them and they all hit half a million KM . We just fired up our 2001 f150 Mud Truck that was in a field for 5 years , put away covered in clay . New battery and she fired right up.
A truck is more than just its engine. And between the Ecoboost, 5.0L and Lightning now Ford is not only best overall truck, but has the best power plants. GM is just garbage.

All these years later and I see that now too. I can't believe I didn't notice that. I'm guessing anywhere there is a comparison test involving trucks, he kind of just appears.
I dont know why people have to talk badly about the Tundra, First off I find it funny that people keep labeling it as an import when its made here in America out of more american parts than Ford or Dodge (fact). If you still want to call it an import just because the HQ is in Japan then you all are missing the fact that FIAT which is an italian car company now owns all Dodge affiliates and is the only reason they are still here.
i thought about buying a new ram with a hemi, but when i went for the test i had my brother follow me in my 99 ram sport, we did alittle dragrace, well i was shocked when he beat me in my old truck , long live the 360 magnum !
@MPLSTORM Interesting. My family works for the state in the repair department (shop 6). We work with 100's of these trucks every year, from street-use to the forestry ones we use on more dirt roads, and I can say the exact opposite. We get the dodges coming into the shop probably 3:1 vs our GM's and Fords. I'm actually a Dodge fan, but you won't see me standing behind them in the reliability department compared to other brands lol. Can't comment on the 08+ models, as we work on 00's-07's
aaaaand, the day after this was released, that editor accepted a job at Ford....... I'm a GM guy, but I've owned Ram and a Titan as well as my Current Sierra. no way the 09 5.4 F150 beats the tundra that year let alone the 6.2/6speed GM's.... he was buying his job.
The reason I know that the Tundra is more american than either Dodge or Ford is because i am head of sales for the southern US for a company that manufactures packaging and shipping solutions for EVERY auto manufacturing company and a vast majority of Ford and Dodge packaging and shipping solutions come out of Mexico...why is that? because all those parts are made in Mexico. Consumer Reports does THE BEST durability/ reliability testing around. Check it out. Facts don't lie.
The old Titan did just as well as all those much newer trucks bahhhhh. Goes to show Nissan knows what they are doing even when their truck is outdated it held its own.
@Jasshands1 Im in canada as well. And i can say the same, ford seems to own the roads,lol. Though its not uncommon to see dodges and Gms. I live in a logging town, so their are lots of people with trucks
wow im suprised the f-150 won with the 5.4 3 valve! if it had the eco boost or the 5.0 then it would be a dead ringer! the tundra or a non 5.4 f-150 would be my choice!
totally agree with the titan remarks, i have a 2006 model, got under 16000 miles on it, love it, only 305 hp, lots of torque though, but the interior, yeah it is cheap looking, put a black piano wood look 3m dash kit and black dash cover on it, go on car domain if you want to see picks, it has mayo and cheese tires(vogues)on a truck, its different, i think im no37 on the nissan titan list, its blue, peace yall:)
I've worked for a car dealer for a long time and I've driven in a lot of bad wheather and I've never had both my back wheels on different serfaces at the same time. Maybe it's just me but i'd rather have a mechanical locker on the real diff. Ram forever! My Cummins has 480,000 on it
@ProAudioBill Oh shit i forgot that you had to type with formal style in youtube, sorry for that. The big three have adapted well to the american market, which has been greatly influenced by european and asian cars. American cars have practically no presens outside the US. But yeah American cars are finally getting better in terms of handling and cornering. I've driven the only ZR1 in finland and I loved it, in my mind, on par with my friends F430. The only thing lacking in
Lmao the silverado/sierra tows better and are faster than the 150 plus they dont eject sparkplugs, glad ford ditched the Triton and threw in the coyote later on.
Todays F150 high output tows better and is faster than silverados. Plus the Raptor is better off road, the ranger outruns and outpulls the colorado. Lol The triton was a great engine when it first came out, had some rough years and then in morphed into the badass coyote. You do know right? The coyote is a modular v8, its basically a triton with a different name. It has just has all issues worked out of it.
@nathanial41 If you never had both back wheels on different surfaces then you haven't been driving on or in different situations. For me, been there done that and a locking rear end works great at any speed in my Isuzu. It got me out of a 7 degree ditch with ice, snow, mud and slush on one wheel, slick ice and pavement on the other. I didn't think i had a chance of getting out and fell in love with my truck when it dug in with no hesitation.
haha then there must be something wrong with mine. it has 4:10 gears, i would expect it to be alot faster but it isn't. those dakotas are pretty fast, knew someone that had the 318 in there's and was fairly fast also

@ProAudioBill Love your comment, but it is just so hard to let go of the past when we the consumer have been treated so poorly by American dealerships. Are there good American car dealers? I am guessing sure, have i been treated well at most American car dealerships? no. Foreign car dealerships treat me like they want my business. American dealers r paying for the past and when you look at how much these trucks cost today, Americans should be treated like there buying a Mercedes Benz.
lol nice. But regardless we have 5 Fords, all trucks, all run. Years from 1974-2002. I own a 1995 F150 and have the entire service record from the forest service. It was clean, when I bought it I replaced the clutch and slave cyclinder. Awesome truck, owned it for 2 years, still gets 14-15mpg in town, its got about 77,000miles on it. Honostly people just need to keep up on their servicing of vehicals and maybe they would break down less
exactly GM has the sierra, the silverado and the C series like the C5500...ford calls all there full size trucks from f150 up "F series trucks" thats why they can say its the number one selling truck in the USA.....sorry to burst your bubble but thats common scene... nuff said
@ProAudioBill only thing lacking are the interiors, they still have huge panel gaps, are mostly cheap plastic and creak like shit. This is coming from a guy who drives an Audi A8 LW.
So does anyone notice how this is a car review OF a car review? That's pretty bad. I've always liked MotorWeek because they do their best to talk about every vehicles strongpoint instead of being biased and overblowing small things like Car and Driver or Road and Track. Both of the latter reviewers judge cars not based on their intended functions or their good points, but how they ride and look is often what makes a bread winner in their eyes.
do i have to repeat myself? Your bassicaly saying a shit car or truck is beating out something thats built nice? Regardless people would have more luck is they took care of their shit.
just a set of hooker header , my truck is 2wd it came factory with 3.55 rear , my truck is still 35 horses short of the new hemi ! off the line the truck were side by side but when my old truck would hit second it would just start pulling away ? i had a 5.9 rt dakota my wife almost killed her self on a wet road passing another car the rear end broke loose at 50 mph and spun her around 2 or 3 times before she went dukes of hazard through a corn field , the truck was sold the next week :}
honestly it does not matter anymore all the greats are great the fords are great chevies are good and rams are ok the new tundra is even good it just matters on which you spend your money on and America is truck country
As usual, biased against and completely disregard the Titan! They barely even mentioned it! They are great trucks!! We're on our 3rd one. 2005, 253,000 miles and still runs & drives like new! I'm not a "truck guy," but I love our Titan and would love to get another one.
Isnt the Ram's new hemi like capable of 60 in about 6's and under that for the single cab? I would of assumed with 390hp it was the most powerfull and quickest there, dont think that was mentioned though.. :S
I have both a 2010 GMC Sierra Denali 4x4 and an 08 Tundra CrewMax 4x4 and both are amazing trucks. But one more thing to add.... this whole Toyota being an import is still rather annoying since Toyota employs more americans than any other auto manufacturer and is the best selling Auto manufacturer which generates a lot more tax revenue for this country than the "big three" plus you cant be an import and be in NASCAR... its kind of a rule. again facts dont lie people.
@rangerover06sc yes cant blaim them i hated ford until i sat in a 2010 model and drove it...its a nice truck but i liek the dodges looks better....more sleeker and meaners looking
my dads 2010 F-150 has no recalls, no issues whatsoever, and has always gotten us from point a to b without reason to scream (except when SYNC asks if you want to run a vehicle health report)
This video was everything back in the day.
And it’s even better today. Wow!!
Hi Mr. Truck!
Triton baby! 😁
3v. No thanks 😂
Crazy to see a young Mr truck in this video. Lol
I like that GMC Sierra truck but that dodge Ram is a great looking truck tho
me too the 09 ram is flawless
I love how now days the 3 valve 5.4 triton is one of the worst motors ever put in a pickup truck lol
And in that test or in the real truck use the triton is the torquest amongst the group which is excellent for pulling/towing despite it being a complicated poorly designed engine that mechanics hate to work on them but they can be bulletproofed built right better than when it left the Ford plant (GM guy)

false in every way. smart that u said gm tho cause thats the 2nd best to the tundra really good truck

Yea, he pops up a few times.

@dirtybnick f150 sells better than silverado. but when you combine GMC and Chevy they outsell the f150. so there are more gm trucks than ford trucks.
