      Not what I was expecting, I thought the 2.7 Colorado would have cleaned house. Only thing predictable was the Jeep dead last. I thought the Toyota and Ranger would have been close but not even in the same ballpark. You can see Ford knows how to program that 10 speed watch it jump forward every time it shifts next to its opponent. The 10 speed probably has more to do with the win than you’d think.

      I pointed this out too. They didn't even acknowledge that the Ranger could never reproduce that run again and the Ranger did catch the Colorado already coming off a run so it was already at a disadvantage. Plus compare the weight of the wheel/tire combos between the Ranger and Colorado. They really should be doing 3 runs and not one to average them to account for anomalies.

    The newer direct injected Nissan V6s are severely underrated in horsepower. We had a Pathfinder with the 3.5 Liter version this Frontier 3.8 and it was an absolute screamer "on the cams". That 310 hp rating on the Frontier is a worst case scenario on crappy octane gas on a hot day. Probably more like 325 after a good break in. Admittedly, the Pathfinder was awful with the CVT but that engine tried its heart out. If Nissan wanted to throw down they could put the GT-R engine in the Frontier.

His 2023 Ranger is 7500 lbs and his truck's door sticker says it has a 1443 lb payload capacity so we're good on both of those.
