I really prefer when you guys do this type of content. I’ll wager that most of your subscribers can’t afford a Raptor or a Rubicon. I know I can’t. I like to see these realistic options out on the trail. An older vehicle with proper tires, a moderate lift a an after market locker is doable for us regular people. And scraping a hitch is no big deal. I like Nathan’s attitude...it’s fine.
I'm laughing at the fact that they were given a budget to make these trucks as off road worthy as possible and then Nathan just spends all his money on exhaust mods.
I'm a Dodge guy, but I cant help but notice how good that K1500 looks. Brings back memories of the '94 I used to own. If Andre's truck had the 350 instead of the 305, I'd be hard-pressed to decide which of the two trucks I'd want. I'd love to find a rust-free example of either one of the trucks - they are practically non-existent where I live, at least in that sort of condition.
I learned to drive on a 94 as a teen. I just bought a 1998 k1500 z71 with no rust anywhere and a new transmission for 10k. They exist, you just have to be patient, expand your search region, and be the first with cash in hand when it posts.
I’m a Ford guy all the way. But out of all these trucks. That Chevy is by far the superior truck. I can’t believe you bought it for 3,200 bucks!! It’s in amazing shape
@@xfozzypx115 I just got one. 98 suburban 2500 4x4 with 454. Only body issue is drivers door, rest is solid even if it's dirty. I paid $800, it was advertised for $1000. There are other issues but nothing major. I live in Vt. now many of those 90s chevys are rotted out junk in these parts but not all. I like these trucks and have several. I find they offer a better ride then newer trucks.
The old Chevys in great shape and they were pretty reliable trucks. Next for reliability was the Dodge but their Transmissions were weak then the Ford they had great Transmissions but their motor had lot of problems. That's my list of those trucks...
Full-size 4x4 trucks in that shape for under 5 grand. I’m in the wrong state, everything here is rust held together with bondo and paint and going for 6-10k.
I miss when you could get a nice pickup made to be a pickup, not these $60+ grocery grabbers. It was nice when you could buy 2 door, bench seat, heater, radio, V-8 engine and transmission, that's all we used to need
I would take the chevy..... had a couple of them in fact still have a 91 1 ton with a 454..... that thing has hauled more lumber than a semi! Really reliable pickups.... never had an issue, ever.
Roman's Ford missed the line that the Chevy and Dodge took, otherwise it might have hit on that breakover. Even thought the Chevy is the lowest truck the approach angle is pretty good, also I would rather drag my frame than smacking something else that hangs below the frame as is the case with many new trucks, and that rear hitch shielded the body work pretty well. In any case any of these trucks would outdo their new counterparts.
I’m generally a Ford guy. But I like the Ford the least here. Really like the Dodge and Chevy body styles here. I’d prolly take the Dodge as my favorite
I love all three trucks. New trucks are terrible. These trucks didn’t just off-road in Moab: They also survived the drive to Moab. I paid $2900 for my 1999 F-150 4x4 with 139,000 miles on it. I’ve taken it all over the Western United States without any issues.
I had a 2006 Ford much like the 2004 they have. Bought mine new with the V6/2wd but it was a good hard working truck. I drove it for over 10 years and loved it! And I always did like that 2nd generation Dodge Ram. They look and drive sweet!
Definitely a different concern or should I say, lack of concern in driving these old clunkers down these steps vs how we see you drive the NEW rigs. lol Fun stuff. Looking forward to the rest. :)
thats it... if you pay 4500 for a truck you could care less about a few dings and scratches vs paying 45,000 and realizing the 4500 is where you will be in twenty years
I have an 89 GMC Extended Cab, long bed and it makes me happy to see how well the Chevy did...I think a little extra love to the suspension and a little taller tire and it would have done a lot better.
Maybe you guys should do the front leveling kit on the chevy or turn the torsion bars up to make it fair since the other 2 trucks are obviously leveled with bigger tires
Every time I find an older Chevy or Dodge (especially Sport) the prices are usually $10k+. How did you get that Chevy for $3200 and the Dodge for $5k?🤔
Chevy/Dodge for me. keep away from the ford. the only thing that makes a difference is gas milage the chevy is better. Dodge are big drinker but its as easy to work on and cheap to maintain. other then the straight axle needing more maintenance then the IFS chevy. where the chevy only require a Idler arm from time to time.
@@EliastheKiNg34 sadly, not all of us had the same experience as you... Roof leaks, lifter failures, suspension replacement at 70K, exhaust cracking in half right after the collector at 77K... On and on.
I'm buying the ford though that Dodge seems in great shape everytime I see an old dodge where I live it's almost dead. If there's Chevys like that available they're god awful high and I've had problems with their transmissions as I had one back in the day and and transmission failure was a problem
The old Chevy made it down, it is amazing how much the new and old model Silverado seem similar in body style, and Tommy the Wrangler is awesome, but even it can get stuck up.
The dodge was ahead of its time. 2nd Gen came out in 94 so it shared some years with that Chevy. imo its withstood the test of time way better. It doesn’t seem as old and had some nice tech for its time
They both look really good, I'm a bigger fan of the chevy because they always stuck with the classic square look and this truck looks clean as hell... But the dodge I can appreciate as well because it looks like a 2010 truck

This kind of stuff is more interesting to me because I don’t have the money for the nice new stuff. I have to buy and mod on a budget. Another thing I have to deal with in MI is anything as old as these here are all rusted out. lol Would love to see some cheap overland options.
That kind of sucked you guys. Going down is easy. Should've tried going up! That era Chev/GM is bulletproof. I wouldn't touch the Ford with the 3 valve. I'd take that Dodge in a heartbeat for a off roader. D44 front/9.75 rear, 318 V8. Perfect base platform.

$3200 for a 96 Chevy and the body looks that good? Where I’m at I don’t see one much under 5k
my neighbor just sold his for 7k
After this series they'll be $9k.
If you're lucky you might find a clean one for under 8k. Maybe. Trucks are hot right now.
Yea they’re into those trucks for a bit more than their saying
They also bought them a while ago. Way before all the COVID price hikes
That Chevy looks so good. It’s such a clean classic design.
Agreed. I didn't like it when they eventually squashed the front lights down to make room for the hood scoops.
I agree, i love it!
That's why the are not "cheap" anymore
Drive a 93. Love/like it
my fav year model

Never seen a flush bed cover on a obs, I like it! Excited for the series!
Good to real world trucks in Moab, keep the series going
Finally a good quality off road video with a gmt400
I love a clean old chevy.
GM trucks (from the GMT400 onward) have ALWAYS had very low frame height. They will scrape/bang where the Ford and Dodge/Ram will not.
I really don’t like that Ford.
im super hyped for this series
"You got 2 inches, 3 inches"
That's helpful
I haven't seen a chevy of that body style that clean here in probably 15 years.

dodge definitely did the best. I had a 01 ram off road 1500. love that truck.

Cute calling that frame bender. Ive drove over potholes worse than that.

Should've broke out an OBS Z71
That's a good looking F150
On the Chevy if you add the rough country 3" 2" lift kit It works extremely well I have it on my Tahoe
The price of the kit is $670 something like that and add the shock stabilizer for the steering linkage and there ya go!!
Its pretty telling that you can get a newer Ford for cheap, but even old Chevys are worth a lot of money in comparison.
