Because you never know when you're going to go rock crawling in heavy duty towing rig.
Yeah I tow my dually with my jeep so i can go rock crawling
Its about Torque twist on the frame when hauling heavy
And a tualy the Ford would do better at rock crawling. Because you need more flex. So ur comment is ass backwards
You never know when there will be ice and snow on the highway while towing...
Tell me you live in a major city without telling me
You choose trucks with open diffs and put them against trucks with lockers. Good job on showing the obvious.
Most Chevy/GMC comes with self locking rear. Even base models come with it. That's not their problem that other manufacturers are cheap.
@@firewalker6712 no.....
Play Authentic!!!! You aren’t very smart. That’s not the point. They are comparing 2 different things in tests that are clearly biased for GM to win
@@jschlattfunnymic3069 You're just mad! You probly own a Ford and your feeling are hurt. Because it did bad in the test and that hurt your ego.
@@firewalker6712 you can get a diff lock for a ford from the factory
Even as a GM GUY, i know ford and dodge can do exactly what GMC and Chevy can.
I have the balls to admit that i might see Chevy and GMC as better than others, but I KNOW Ford and Dodge can do exactly what GM can, and in some situations they’ll outperform...
I love Chevys because my grandpa used to own one and i aspire to be like him, there’s no need to act as an elitist to other brands, cause they all are doing the same job. It just depends upon personal preference of a vehicle...
Thanks for being one of the few to be real about things no one truck is better than the other a ford can tow way better than a chevy but I think a chevy can climb huge hills way better it's all preference
I liked your comment and the honesty I am a Ford guy, but you didn't go off and spout nonsense, yes each truck has there strong points it's more about preference.
I like Ford's it don't matter what you drive they all do the job and every person has their own preference
True, but on the flipside Ford and Ram have gone to boxed frames rather than C frames. Also both Ford and Ram are putting lockers now. GM was first to both. IFS on GM HDs are great with for towing and for driving around without a load and great for highway speeds with or without a load. Straight axles trucks need a load to go over 50 mph safely, at least that is what Ford and RAM are both saying in response to their class action lawsuits for death wobble.
I'm a ford man but a good truck is a good truck love em all FORD GMC DODGE
Why don't you do a frame test with the Dodge Ram???
Maybe because it would shame your Cav
They did in another video, it was relatively the same as the Chevy
Cause it would bend cause its a pos
I think Dodge is probably the only truck that a Chevrolet is better than😲
Dodge didn't make there lol
Amen brother
that ford tailgate was obviously locked. if he tried to open it you would of heard a clunk that the locks make when you open it.
Exactly.its such bullshit.they are just trying to make ford look bad.And chevy look good
Not to mention they locked the diff on the gmc's but not the ford or ram
Yeah that also.I was laughing so hard at this.They act like we don't notice it lol
There are 2 other vids on here, one from where I live here in Canada, doing the same kind of test. GMC and Ram tailgates would open, Ford did not. I guess there must be a conspiracy of locking the Ford tailgates in these tests to make Ford look bad.
I wouldn't doubt it. *****
"The Ford, you have to engage the locking diff manually." OK...so lock that diff maybe?
my thoughts exactly.... its a chevy biased test
IF it doesn't lock automatically, people who are too stupid to press the button will get stuck. therefore, it's inferior (for tards)
so basically all chevy people are tards :p
rhauf1 Sometimes you don't want the diff to lock automatically. I would say having the ability to control the diff with a switch is a plus more than anything.
rhauf1 Its to keep you from destroying the ring gear in the rear-end. It slams in when it automatically and can tear some shit up.
I stopped watching at the very first post... "2011 Dodge ram Cummings turbo.." what the heck is a Cummings?!
I'm a Cummings
The diesel engine that dodge uses
Dodge uses a Cummins not a Cummings...
@@dminer9040 some people just don't get it 😒
It's what happens when you're done "stroking"....
My ram has a factory locker and would not
Spin like that
My 2004 dodge 3500 does also
So does my 99 2500.
That's good to know
Same and they used duellys for others the ram duelly is a beast compared to those
That Ford also has a locker that they are not engaging...
So you're wondering why ford sells more: Ford sells more because they sell a ton of stripped down fleet rucks for next to chicken scratch, which gets them sales tallies. GM doesn't offer anything less than a base equipped truck, even in fleet sales. You simply get a base truck, not a bare bones unit. You get what you pay for, though. A Chevy/GMC is way more reliable, more comfortable, bore capable truck. Also total both of the GM trucks (mechanically the same) together, and the sales gap closes dramatically. I drive a '97 Silverado 2500, and love it. Mine isn't as advanced as the new trucks, but even mine is stiffer than the Fords of it's day, and has the Eaton locking rear (GM RPO code: G86) in mine. It's great on slick and icy roads, which is what the roller ramp in the video simulates.
Actually Ford is generally more expensive than GM products. They get more sales because they offer a more dependable truck. GM's and Chryslers have "walk home" innovations. That means the ECU prevents the vehicle from running if it senses that one little thing is wrong to prevent any possible damage. Fords, though, don't have that. Which means they're not nearly as sensitive and therefore, much more reliable.
perfect answer right there. 100% truth.
Wow I'm impressed how some idiots pretend to be so informed, and know it all!! do you know that fords are more expensive than Chevys?? Just saying.
Thank you very much. Plus GM splits their sales between Chevy and GMC. Ford still out sells them, but it's based on the reason above.
yup
you don't simply trust comparison made by a truck manufacturer😂
It really seems like ford and dodge would know about locking difs and stuff right? Maybe they just left the other two in 2wd.
I agree
Fords were then and still are available with a locking diff, you can get them without, but they are available. My brother has one with, and I have looked at a few for sale with a locking diff
Im still only buying the ford maybe a dodge never chevy or gmc
Andrew Lighthill agree
GM was always known for being sneaky with advertising their trucks. I love GM trucks but the way they advertise themselves just makes me wanna choose Ford overal
As a mechanic and a highly certified one at that I would rather take beating than work on a Ford.. anything can break down. What it takes to fix them is a whole different story. Buy that ford. It may last a life time.
@Michael Farley II Why does someone not being able to accept the truth make you bring up liberals? Keep in mind, stereotypically speaking, it's largely conservatives that reject the truth,after all, some of them are so dumb, they deny climate change exists, and some of them say this virus isn't real. My point? Both political parties are run by idiots and for idiots lol.
Michael Farley II i'm not even american. but ok 😂
With Ford having Death wobble on the f250 and f350 I would stay away, until they have that resolved
@Michael Farley II ... uhhh.. well 1st off the chevy/ fox was in 4wd and ford and dodge weren't!! Second I've owned gmc and there very expensive to fix and extremely expensive to buy new FORD and Dodge are alot cheaper and gmc are made for white collar people!!
When you keep making bogus ads and paying off adverts but ford still destroys your sales every year 😂
And Mc Donald’s sells billions of hamburgers.....but they’re not the best. Congratulations Ford is the McDonalds of trucks!!😂
@@chadchristianson8666 not at all a good comparison. There is a huge difference between hamburgers and trucks. People buy trucks for the features, looks, and reliability. People buy McDonald's hamburgers for price and speed of service. Not many people go out and buy a truck because it is cheaper, most will buy what they like more and buy based on previous experience. If someone has a bad experience with GM they might go to Ford or Dodge or a different manufacturer.
i like how he just feathers the gas on the dodge but floors it in the gm
Other way around
yeah I'm going to sit here and let a car dealership tell me what company is better goodbye
What do you mean by that?
you don't enjoy someone proving to you which truck is the true performer?
+supersoni126 NO one is proving me anything?
+Auto Ad Builder wasn't talking to you... but if the shoe fits.
+supersoni126 What ever nerd
I'm neither a fan of Ford or GM, but all I see is GM trying to show they are better than Ford. If you are better then you don't need any kind of test showing you're the best. When you make such comparisons means you're a smaller competitor trying to prove yourself, right?
I never see Mercedes having any kind of ads!
A test comparison by GM....the outcome was such a shock....
"the downside is you gotta push a button" really? I kinda like having control over when my truck does things. And bullshit, the Ford did not have the locking diff engaged.
So is this a Chevy promotional thing or something?
Oh heavily. Thats why they kept going "oh chevy this, Oh chevy that" like a bunch of 5 year old girls.
exactly
*****
What are you talking about. First, everyone knows that. Second, we were talking about how it was obviously a promotional thing for chev
RCHobbyReviews when you are chevy sponsored show... obviously you will make the compensation horrible! lol and the guy recording it sound like a jerk ward!
This never gets old. Ive seen it a few times. For many years ive noticed how a ford looks when in an off camber. The 150s used to bust rear glass out when you twisted it. The GM diff is a big plus. Dodge body mounts hold about half gallon of rain water in each one. If you own one go loosen the body bolts and see. Just sayin. Fords the cheapest truck is why they sell more but that shows up in that resale number.
Well this is just fantastic, now I know which truck to get in order to get up my roller ramp!!!
i wanted to see the ford and ram try it in 2wd as well .......
They choose trucks that aren't similarly equipped. They intentionally picked a ram without an Limited slip...Rigged comparison.
Wow a biased hill climb test putting trucks with open diffs up against a truck with posi. What a fair test. And the frame twist test is a bogus test. Ford looked to the big rig industry for engineering advice when they built a truck with a towing capacity of more than 22,000 pounds. You buy a dually to tow with, not go rock crawling. A rigid frame on a heavy towing vehicle is not a good thing, it tends to break things like driveline components and suspension parts. Ive got news for anyone who disagrees with me, you're never going to find a semi with a fully boxed ridged hydroformed frame. Even a heavy haul tractor with a double frame and a tag axle still flexes a lot to prevent damage to other components.
The frame isn't supposed to flex. It doesn't have a independent limited rotation bed. The suspension and shocks are supposed to absorb and compensate for that, any time something bends when it's not supposed to, it weakens it.
Trucks are supposed to twist, this is why most Big rigs use a double frame, to give it the strength but still allow it to twist. Solid frame equals broken frame! Period, end of story!
yep that is what I'm saying
DODGE CUMMINS my statement or theirs?
Corey Schmidt define biased same class same year same course different trucks your clearly uneducated because you don't know what biased mean ....lol #foh
You know what’s funny is this is when the class action lawsuit would begin for the lml duramax that their fuel pump wasn’t compatible with us diesel fuel and was sending metal shavings into the motor and causing catastrophic failures
I know what’s funny ford death wobble lmao
Rigged test look at the ramps carefully and watch the wheel spin chevy has limited slip option. Ramps are made to increase wheel spin on drive tires without limited slip
The ford is also in 4x4 which caused wheel spin in the front and less power to the rear wheels. Both GMC trucks were 4×2 trucks so all weight and power were in the back
not sponsored by chevy at all
or gmc
Carbon2983 Trains GMC is part of Chevy
Gm owns gmc and Chevy
The guy is wearing a GMC shirt and hat
We use this truck to haul the ram (no license plate)
I'm going to guess the test where rigged. Sence this is a Chevy sponsored thing.
🤣
Dang my 04 chevy v6 endures more stress. Than any of those tests when i drive it up my driveway out in the country
Yes I love the Dodge Rams with the "Cummings" turbo diesel.
It's a good engine. I personally don't like how Chrysler handles quality control but the Cummins is by far a superior engine to the other diesel engines. I'd like to see that engine an a ford or chevy.
It’s Cummins stop saying Cummings it’s Cummins! I’m a powertroke guy but I can’t stand when people mis pronounce a motor
Power stroke
"Oh wow it's got a rear camera too" nice paid advertisement.
I wish I had gotten paid for this filming advertisement.
+Auto Ad Builder you did because the test is shittttt
Really, this is shit? Hmmm I am at an event and decided to film it before anyone was camera phone filming happy. Explain how GM paid me for this I would like to see that cashed check for my company.
+Auto Ad Builder dude, all ur tests were messed up, u can't have a truck in 2wd and another one in 4wd and test them, if ur testing them u have to have them both in 4wd or both in 2wd, and u have to have them both a dully and not just one a dully and the other not a dully
+Cory Waterman You got a point with the different configurations... but, these videos still are good and prove something.
Why is ford #1 selling truck?"Because when a Chevy truck last longer you don't have to go buy another one"c'mon be a salesman! Lol
Right, you can keep them running for a good 20 years at least. Gotta be a man and cut out them rusted rocker panels ,put on new brake lines, new head gaskets, drink beer etc.....
thats why we see more fords in the 80-90s than chevys in the 2000s
Brian Walker nice!
Well and not to mention on the ford tailgate they locked it bc that's exactly the way my tailgate locks so you can tell when it is locked vs unlocked the handle moves way too freely to be unlocked
Brian Walker chevy do not last longer there are trash
They just hating on Ford and Dodge 😂
I will keep my Ford truck after all.
I don't believe you.
I dont believe them either ford is still # 1 and never needed a bail out
you dont believe them after they just proved it?? ford Fanboy
Ford has had government bail outs before. I've owned a Ford, their garbage!
Gary Dixon , Play Authentic!!!! They are obviously trying to promote gmc. They clearly locked the diff in the rear so the truck could get up. Use your head. Here’s a fun fact: Gmc was also saved by China and are having more problems with their trucks than ever before. So don’t think you’re cool because you own a gmc and they put extra goodies into their trucks
Play Authentic!!!! They are constantly in my shop getting fixed! Agreed
Why didn't they use same class trucks in the test? Why didn't we see a Dodge dually compared to the Chevy on the frame test?
Cuz Dodge ram trucks it comes out the same as Chevy and this is a Chevy promoder
I learned a long time ago that GM sponsored "tests" are just like watching WWF.
Omg I completely forgot I wanted to park my new truck like that
I wish I'd of rolled up in my 01 f150 in this differential test video.... but then I realized it was advertisement for GMCS. for those who don't know on a 1 ton truck like those, more "flex or sag"is actually better. better control against trailer sway and if your hauling something that would catch a big wind gust.
"I'm gonna go buy a 1 ton dually and go rock climbing!" -said no man ever
Kody Kill i mean if you want the frame to rust out go ahead
I like how they didn't even give the Dodge an attempt at the 2nd test. lol I'm a ford guy mostly but I do like Chevy also. The Chevy seats hurt my back after long trips. Fords are comfortable to me. As far as the tests go, anyone who would put their truck in that type of loading situation in test 2 would be nuts to begin with. According to the books on all three trucks, loading situations should be with the tires secured on the ground. I don't think the ford was "sagging" it was flexing and you want it to flex to maneuver the terrain. Just like a bridge flexes with heavy loads on it vs. being stationary and breaking.
"why is it (ford f350) the best selling truck in america?"
chevy rep:...silence (thinkin': it's a better truck that's why)
* contrary to popular belief new buyers get real smart when it comes to spending their hard earned money
Which is why ford is still number one
This is like listening to a bad car salesman trying to sell you extended coverage for your car lol
It was also nice to see them put the tailgate with one hand on the Ford and Dodge. They used both hands on the GMs.
Anybody can see clearly what brand they are helping here.
Why did they not put new tires on the Ford and Dodge?
A test sponsored by GMC and the GMC won. How ironic. These tests are jokes.
tell me about it
Vance Meeks it's called a G-80 locker
You know why Ford outsell all other trucks?
Because all your fucking test are flawed.
In a real life work environment, YOU WANT a chassi that flex
A solid frame would snap all the welds down the line.
You're ramp test is flawed because obviously the ford did not have a locking posi, it something you would buy upgraded from a dealership.
This entire video is paid by GM lol, I don't think you guys know how to test a truck.
shouldn't the locking posi come with the truck? so in a way you buy Ford then upgrade it to compare to a chevy
+Monera96 Well... Where is a $, was given for me by GM?
Now you know what your talking about! 😀#ford
+Creme De La Creme
i agree 100% with you chevy was the way to go instead i got a ford as well smh
The reason ford sells more because construction company's buy them for work trucks because they are so much cheaper
GM is simply the best automotive company hands down.
but the data says otherwise. GM has been at the bottom for a long time
Y'all are real fair and unbiased!
Fords will always be better though
Yees
where is a dodge ram frame test ....
They couldn't find a way to get it to fail the test so they cut it out.
jake smith i have seen one before it did better than the ford had about half the flex as the ford but worse than the chevy had an almost 100% ridge frame
jake smith .😃
the dodge does not twist there is another video ford vs dodge same shit no need to compare dodge and GM as they perform the same
Ryan Arends idiot.
I have always been a die hard Ford guy. This time around I bought the Ram/Cummins. Why? I liked the truck better. They offer exactly the trim level I want, the interior is simple and the controls intuitive, the exterior is the most 'truck' of the trucks, and that Cummins is all business. I tow with this thing... set the cruise at 67 mph and it almost never shifts down no matter how steep the grade, boost comes up to 20 psi and up the hill she goes! The exhaust brake is the coolest thing since they put pockets on pants. No regrets here.
A flexible frame is important for when a heavy load is on the truck. This reduces the chance of the truck flipping when for any reason the load moves or shifts inside the bed.
Wrong. You want your chassis as rigid as possible. You want your suspension to handle the shifts.
not at all. Plus boxed frames are junk, and these GMT 900 trucks have had corrosion issues because of it@@Jaxboy86
Okay this is the dumbest thing I have ever seen... They have rollers on the fucking ramp... The denali only makes it up because it has a limited slip rear differential and the left ramp has rollers 3/4ths of the way up (and that is the power tire on open differential base model trucks like the Chevy Silverado.) The denali is the top of the line truck made by general motors chevrolet and they took a dodge 2500 Cummins and a base model f350 and put it against it. This is just another foolish Chevrolet add scheme to win the hearts of foolish people that don't know basic mechanics of a truck...
A little research might do you good. The gmc being tested is the base model. Denali is not a performance package, it is a luxury interior package.
Zack Kelly actually, the denali is the highest as it comes with all z71 options as well. you have the rancho suspension, eaton e-locker, and the better gear ratio
Tyler Grenier wrong again. The z71 package is not standard on Denali trucks. All these gm trucks have the Eaton G80 electronic locker. My 15 year old, my 2000 Silverado 1500, rclb, is a z71 z85 with the G80 option. It has never let me down. I've wheeled my truck in Colorado and drive it daily in TN.
Chris Cubberley The GMC was a Denali. The Ford was a King Ranch. The Ram was a Long Horn.
Chad Oakley Z71 is not available on Denali 1500 and 3500. It's an option on the 2500
The superduty never even got a run at the gmc got a good run so it looks like the ford is the real winner because I new chevy was afraid to go up against the f-350 and didnt want there own truck to fail.
Why do they sell more? That's easy, more people and fleets buy them. But that does not mean they are the best. With that logic, McDonalds sell the most hamburgers, so they must be the best?
Actually yes by this logic you just stated twat
Chevy makes the best trucks ever made. Ford has kept tow trucks in business since 1903
More rigged than 9/11
Apparently it is too much work to reach over & hit the diff lock switch in the Ford. Some people like to have control of the locking diff. Can you disable it in the Chevy? I doubt it.
& I assume an automatic mechanical locking diff is easier & cheaper to build than a manual electronically locking one. I'd much rather have control of it.
There's ABSOLUTELY no benifit to having an unlocked diff. If you want to be in control of your truck that's understandable, buy a manual rather than an auto, ect. But to actuall want your diff unlocked under ANY circumstance is just plain stupid
Krissy Cullum There is a reason to have an unlocked diff. whenever you are turning one wheel will have to rotate more than the other to go around the turn if your diff is locked then you will be dragging a tire through part of the turn which will lead to imbalanced tire wear and premature failure. if there was no reason for an unlocked diff then they wouldn't make one
Krissy Cullum Have you ever tried to back up a trailer with a locked diff? Or any kind of tight maneuvers for that matter? Apparently not. Anyone who regularly uses their truck to do such things will tell you a locked diff is a pain in the ass and being able to engage it only when needed is best. Yeah, I know it's SUPPOSED to only lock when one tire spins but I wouldn't trust it - that thing would probably engage for no damn reason at the worst times.
I'm pretty sure an automatic, mechanically locking diff is cheaper to manufacture & sell, but not nearly as user-friendly & compliant.
Krissy Cullum Unlocked diff will also get slightly better MPG's
Being a mechanic for 40 years, it's all nits and bolts....they're all comparable with each other. It's about price, creature comforts and personal preference.
A GM DEALER IS DISSING ON FORD AND SHOWING THAT FORD SUCKS?!! I didn’t know this was real life😂😂
What did they expect with an open-differential? My truck would walk right up that in 2-wheel drive also.
your truck is a pile of shit you moron. how many times have you had to buy injectors or head gaskets. LMAO brain dead idiot.
Kyle Harwood Funny i have own a lot of GM Cars and almost everyone blew there headgaskets I have had 1 ford explorer while all those headgasket were blowing on those chevys and never had 1 problem with my ford at 190k until i let someone use it and drove it on the highway in 4 low
I understand Lockers but flexing is part of a truck it help in a off-roading greatly. Truck just have flex.
It depends on what you want a truck for
you want the wheels and suspension to flex, NOT the body/bed
You want to know who has the longest lasting truck, look on the streets. More Fords than any other !
Because they're not even a decade old yet, I see chevys of all ages.
Balakis Hakis it must be a location thing, where I live I see significantly more 80’s and 90’s fords than I do chevys of the same age. 90’s dodges are more common than 90’s chevys.
This is a GMC guy that's why he's giving credit to GMC, if u go to dodge test they'll give credit to dodge. I think every truck has goods and bads. I own a Ford F-250 and a Dually Denali and they're both great. I use to own a dodge before I had the Denali and it was a great truck too. So I think all trucks are good as long as they're diesel and straight piped
Plus did anyone notice how they drove the dodge and the ford on the ramp?!?! Haha.
Yeah Chevy also comes out with new hand warmers on the tailgate that way when you're pushing it your hands don't get cold
Ask the public why Chevy is bought more. Jesus. It proven to be that Ford has the best selling production cars. Ford is first in sales all the time.
Ford is always the best selling truck in the US because they finance just about anyone that's the answer. Remember "Drive Chevy's"
Who kneeds to load stuff in the bed at that angle anyway
Im a chevy gmc guy and the only reason I wont be buying another is because OBAMA owns it. Ford all the way now. An all the BS is BS on both sides. Except ford didnt sale out. An Dodge is for the ladies now days only reason to buy one is the mega cab back seat action for BBW.
stop it man obama owns it wow how sad life will never be a better place with you in it but really we need people like you in the world too show gods good work negative people like you only make the world a harder place to be in
***** no the gov still has worthless stock thet was worth 100 a share ,,now cant sell ,,only worth 21 a share,plus the billions gm used for r/d while the gov owned the ,,everyone forgets the VOLT,
you know what happens when you only have 3 wheels in contact ??? LOL
I’m not going go no to complain about it being a biased video but someone that isn’t biased should do a truck on all three dualies (ford, Chevy, dodge) and all have 4x4 and all have all the options. The guy made it obvious that he was a Chevy fan (so am I but still) so of course he’s gonna make that truck seem better
Hello I'm gm, I like to rig up tests so I win.
The truth😂😂😂
All companies do it what do u expect lmao
Very biased, they used a 1500 Series Denali vs a F-350 Ford and 2500 RAM
Read the side it said Denali HD and count the lug nuts theres 8 on each wheel. Thats not a 1500 Denali.
Yeah I rewatched it. But with the bed flex test, ther didn't even bother to go against a RAM...I wonder why...
Victoria Kohles
So you're saying that they used a Ford and Dodge that cost $10K more than the Chevy and the Chevy still preformed better?
Daren James The chevy is fucked if it had a load in the bed. the ford locks ALL locks when its put in gear. thats why the tailgate would not open. that locking hub on the chevy is coming apart if your at 4000 rpms when it kicks in. DON'T INSULT US CHEVY., YOUR TRUCKS SUCK. BOTTOM LINE
anyone who hates on this video just can't except the fact that gm trucks are the best.
Fords are the #1 selling truck because they are far cheaper. You get what you pay for
Makes a difference having a locking diff
It's stupid that it doesn't come stock on all trucks....even more stupid that people by trucks without them.
I am a ford guy. But for one thing I noticed in this video. They tested a 3500 GMC against a 2500 Dodge. Of course who do you think will get up the ramp? Also the trucks for sure have been messed with now don't get me wrong here all trucks have there goods and bads. But these trucks have been messed with all car company's do it. To show you that they are "better".
How does 2500 vs 3500 have anything to do with climbing a hill? The reason the Dodge couldn't climb it is because it wasn't equipped with a locking differential like the GMC. If the Dodge had a locking differential, it'd climb up just as easily.

3500's will have more weight though. Wouldn't the weight be distributed in the rear anyways? I'm not talking like I know what I'm talking about, but that seems logical to me. As for the locking differential, you could be right on that.
Weight doesn't matter in this case. The rear axle is open, and as soon as one wheel loses grip, all the power is distributed to that wheel causing the vehicle to slide back down the hill. There are rollers on one side of the ramp to simulate ice/mud/slippery stuff.
I would think the power would seek the path of less resistance, depending on which tire let go first
they were probably testing the Ram with the limited slip, if so, it's AAM's version of the Torsen gear type limited slip, and with 1 tire on a slippery surface it will transfer 50% of the torque from the tire that's slipping to the tire that's gripping, since it's on rollers 50% of no traction is still no traction. What you HAVE to do is apply a little bit of brakes to give that wheel some torque so it can transfer that torque to the tire with grip. (the HMMWV has the same problem since it also has Torsen type limited slip front and rear, and in driving school taught by the USMC you are taught to apply a little bit of vehicle brakes to get it to transfer torque to the tires with grip)
I tested this on my 2012 Ram with the limited slip, jacked one tire up in the air and applying my brakes after a bit, the tire that was on the ground got traction and drove the vehicle off the jack..
What exactly are you trying to prove with this test? Apple's to oranges to coconuts?
We need a test from a non biased and a company that doesn't need to get payed to rate Chevy best
put 2000 lbs in the chevy bed and frame will break, thats why semis have flexible frames.
+I Take L's no he's right
atleast the Chevy bed won't break with a tool box
Fake own a chevy put 2500 lbs on it. And traveled 150 miles did just fine except for the spring leaves touching that how you know u over weight
I may be wrong but I believe the gate on the Ford truck is locked (3:00). That's why the guy couldn't open it. I don't know the exact name of the components in the locking mechanism, but when the gate is UNLOCKED, whether it is jammed or not, you will still here a click once the handle is lifted up about halfway. I didn't even here the click. The absence of sound during the full range of movement of the tail gate handle is an indication that the tail gate is locked. The only sound made was when the tailgate handle was lifted all the way up to its mechanical limit. Try this on your own vehicles and listen for the sound. Just my observation.
That fuckin tailgate is locked
these ads make no sense like wtf is this now first the bed flex bs now driving up a ramp like what the hell is wrong with these guys
"so why does Ford sell more?" Starts smiling and clapping like a todler. I like all three trucks and brands btw
Some People!!! Probably the stupidest comparison.....
Some People!!! Using stupidest as if it were a word! What a stupid comment. Perhaps the most stupid comment out there!
urangostang and your comment was suppose to make you come across as???
URANGOSTANG as a username...You kidding me?
So in a flex test, and off roaders know this test, more flexibility is better. However, doing a flex test on a big ass dually truck which most will only see some dirt roads with possibly a few good holes is pretty irrelevant. .....js
I am an ASE certified tech.... The chevy/gmc GOVLOC diffs like the ones shown, blow up quick with A heavy right foot... I replace them all the time! They have several small spinning parts inside.
A mistake in the use of a four-wheel drive may affect the rise of heights
Why Ford sells more? They TOW more. Why would you torque the body hazardously? If you drive on terrain that's as dramatic as those offset ramps, there are better trucks to do it with... Knuckle head.
it doesnt matter what you say its quite obvious that the gm took more time to put quality into all their trucks rather than ford slapping a bunch together and saying their the best selling. i dont give a fucking rats ass if their the best selling im gonna buy a gm or chevy because i know that they are the toughest well built trucks you can buy.
To each their own.
hiptochromniack have to agree with you the articulation is important to me also. I know if all 4 are on the ground I'm a lot more stable with more traction.
that's how GM does it
Recalls
have you seen the guy presenting? he is obviously working for gmc
Ur point?
Tony Mattingly my point is obviously he will make gmc look better
As a Chevy guy (minus my 12v Cummins). They did not pull the GMs up as high before starting the climb. None of their wheels were on the rollers like the dodge or Ford...
Anything's possible when u turn traction control off the other pickups
People buy Ford's more. Cause they are normally cheaper. As you see in the flex test! You get what you pay for!!! Chevy/GMC all the way everyday!!!!👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
steven your an idiot
steven ford and cheap in the same sentence? Shit you are a fucking dumbshit
Anything to sell more shittys, I'll stick with Ford thank you
It's funny because a 80's Chevy frame was the king of flex
The reason Ford sells more trucks is because Ford is considered one brand while GM trucks have Chevrolet and GMC they’re not considered the same brand but if you add them together they probably outsell Ford
there a CMC flag in the back round clearly set up
Yes it was a GM test drive
They do not do them anymore, time to save money I guess.
totally not rigged at all.
If you combine the sales of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, they sell more than the Ford F-150. But since they are technically separate brands, they can't be combined for that purpose. Ford tried something similar for a while, when they took an F-150 and turned it into a Lincoln, but sales were shit so they stopped that pretty quick. It's similar to Presidential candidates. When you have someone run as an independent, Libertarian, Green, etc. All they do is take votes away from the 2 major candidates. The GMC Sierra is taking sales away from the Chevrolet Silverado so it can't win against the F-150. (Not intentionally of course). GM feels that it's better to offer a better selection than to race against Ford.
I have to say, I'm very impressed that strong gmc truck!
The test is biased
why is ford the best selling truck
because its 10 times more bad ass
I bet the ford was able to get off that twist test and the gate opened right back up. If Chevy is such the best why do we all pay out of our taxes for GM to keep going. Ford has been over a 100 years now and will always be the best. 38 straight years #1 selling BABY!!!
The video proves that ford sucks big time and people buy it because it's cheaper
Oh well at least one of the auto companies is actually trying to sell trucks to people in the lower middle class!
#EveryOtherTruckIsHistory #Ford lessss go ford
Notice how didn't show the Dodge flex? It's because it flexes less than the Chevy.
Sales split between GMC and Chevy could explain why Ford "sells more trucks."
For alot of years that is true.
