This should seriously be a weekly video series. 10/10
Nathan is the best host to watch especially for things like these product tests. He doesn't come off as a know it all and is lot more pragmatic when looking at products. Really does help cut down on the cringe.
Carhartt loves to use duck/canvas fabric for pants/jackets for heavy use and wear resistance.
Great video. Informative and funny. Love the interaction between Nathan and Andre. I think the Carhartt "duck canvas" seat organizer simply refers to the material in which it was made, as Wikipedia states that "duck canvas is a heavy, plain woven cotton fabric. Duck canvas is more tightly woven than plain canvas". Perhaps this means it is water repellent.
it what they made most of their original work wear out of.
I think you're right. Pretty sure most of the car seat covers are made from that as it's durable and reasonably water resistant.
@@jeffforbes70 Not totally sure, as I only have a few Carhartt t-shirts. However, I've seen their jackets and "heavy duty" work pants and they seem to be made of a thick, rugged material.
"Like water off a duck's back."
@@machfive916 owned many pants . coats and bibs.but there getting mighty proud of them. 50 dollars for some thing that should last 15 too 40 years not bad.but 60 dollars for work pants and 90 for uninsulated bibs i am not sure who they are marketing to any more.
"I'd rather have her do it." I guffaw at every one of Nathan's subtle, under his breath hilarities! His on camera kung fu is very good :)
Nathan- *Looks back at Andre using step* "I'd rather her do it" 😂😂😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed 😂
I laughed so hard I snorted when he said that.
By far, the best item that I've ever bought for a pickup are the WeatherTech floor liners.... the nice ones that are custom molded to your specific truck. Not cheap, but worth every penny in the long run.
mine are husky brand but same concept and theyre by far the best accessory I've gotten. Plan to eventually get the under seat storage as well
@@davidhowell3609 ive also got the husky liners in my supercrew f150. the back seat is the full liner that also goes under the seat. i love it but its a PITA to take out to wash and then put back.
@@CornholeSteve my Sierra is a double cab and the backseats hardly get used so i’m normally only having to take the fronts out but even then my rear comes out easily
That carhart seat storage is way better than any I've seen, and the mounting with hooks, damn, I wish the ones I have had those. They're really useful with kids!
It’s always a comedy gold when you have Andre Roman and Nathan in one video
Duck is the name for the water resistant canvas that the organizer is made from. It's also the material used for a lot of Carhartt outerwear. Really good stuff
They make really good work clothes.
@@Desertfox92308 quality not made in the USA. They shut down a factory in my town. No more Carhart for me.
20:18 Cotton Duck (from Dutch doek,"linen canvas")… but Carhartt marketing has appropriated the term for their nylon material to give it credibility
Bedankt!
Taken from translator. Hope it’s correct.😊
The door step is actually pretty neat. Even if you just washed and waxed trucks a lot that would make doing the top much easier.
Look up “duck cloth”…. It’s basically water resistant heavy duty canvas fabric.
The carhartt has duck in the name because that's what they call the canvas like material they use in a lot of their stuff... they have duck jackets and shirts! I even have fitted seat covers of the same material, they're super expensive but IMHO they've completely worth it!
This was great, ya'll should make more videos like this. Giving the guys random accessories to try out was entertaining. It's actually pretty useful info. I've bought or had gimmicky accessories given to me that were completely useless, but I've had some stuff surprise me and actually be very handy.
A Carhartt shirt is going to cost $35-50 bucks, so $50 for the seat organizer isn't too bad with all the pockets and pouches it takes more material and labor.
You’re paying for the name . The material is filthy cheap
they’re force tshirts are $25 and i’ve got like 8 of them. wonderful for hard days at work(concrete worker) definitely still pretty good quality considering all the other brands out there.
I don't care what part of it I'm paying for, all my Carhartt stuff has been durable. No name stuff is a roll of the dice. I'll spend the money on guaranteed happiness rather than try to save a buck and end up disappointed.
I have the tail gate ladder on my 6 inch lifted truck and it works great. Eventually you have to modify the strap that holds it down.
The ladder...just by an aluminum 3 step ladder. I have mine in my truck and it's so useful for many things. The 3 of you are so entertaining
I have a small folding aluminum step stool for my truck. It’s great, and helps my mother get in and out of the truck
@@nikihardy7731 where did you get yours? My mom and grandma have a really hard time getting in my truck lol
@@juanmikel7507 Any of the hardware chains. I have one I keep in my old 3/4 ton. My new truck I just bought has that fancy tailgate GM has now whatever they call it. Multi pro something like that. It even has 700 watt Kickers in that tailgate lol. Not sure why but its an Denali Ultimate and I guess they come standard with the truck would normally be an option but I think these Ultimates all get them
MORE OF THIS!!!! My biggest source of frustration is buying something that looks like it would be helpful, but turns out I’d have been better off saving my money. Thanks tfl.
Duck is the type of cotton fabric they use.
"Duck" is the type of fabric. Cotton duck is tightly woven canvas that when waxed or oiled becomes waterproof. It's the same type of material that Carhartt uses to make their jackets and overalls.
I think your tail gate ladder is not a waste of money because it may be a great solution to your Ram camping build, to climb into the overhead bed or mount it to a piece of plywood that is drilled to mount into existing holes just need to increase the length of the fasteners. Easy peasy
For door ding protection in the garage, we glued puzzle piece rubber floor mats to the wall. Works great!
More of this please! I know it must be hard to get the three of you in the same video but this is aces! Had me laughing the whole time. You guys are a great team. Thank You! 😂
TFL Presents... Real Men of Genius 😂
I’m with Nathan on the charger lol I hate things mounted on my vehicles, I always look at these things but can never get myself to buy them lol
I kinda want a Banks I Dash for my new Denali Ultimate Duramax but it attaches to the glass and I can't stand anything like that especially in a luxury truck. I could see in a cheaper work truck or something but I don't want that cluttering up my truck. It would be nice to know when its going to regen and all though
@@JesseLJohnson I hear you, I had Banks on an old ford I had but I have a new power wagon now, I ended up getting the pulsar computer from Diablosport which mounts to the firewall in the engine bay but nothing mounts in the cab, it pops up I. The display under audio settings and you can select the tune on the fly with cruise control selectors lol love it and no issues but we didn’t have those options years ago
Mr. Truck would love that door light
I installed the tailgate ladder on my F150, I love it. Excellent product and great design. Makes getting in the bed effortless!
It works when you have a trailer attached as well! The factory step is a no-go when you are hooked up to a trailer and want into the box. Using the trailer as a step itself works, but is a tall step at 20” or taller.
Nice idea.
I also have that ladder for my ram 2500. I love it!
More like this please, definitely entertaining. Especially teaching us new ways to beat a Goose to death
The Three Stooges of the car world. Yep!
They're were 4 stooges i believe before they became mainstream
@@Patrick.Howie. someone I just watched did a vid on how each on died most of there vids r like that sadly can't remember the channel lol
The Carhartt organizer is called Duck because it’s made out of duck canvas material. It’s made of cotton but the duck material has to do with the way it’s woven. It’s very sturdy and resistant to wear and abrasion.
Id love to see a wind tunnel video of a bug deflector
I like this idea for a series. Lots of fun and you might luck up and find something good. Great job guys
I think the most useful accessory I bought for my truck was a tailgate assist damper. My truck is older and did not come from the factory with a soft open tailgate so I installed an aftermarket dampening shock. No drilling was custom fit and been working great for years. Wasn’t that expensive either. Great purchase.
Pretty funny guys… I love it. Too bad the cheap ram logo light didn’t work. Looked kinda cool. You should order some replacement led headlight and fog light bulbs.
I like this video. Nathan and Andre are a great duo. The other two people that would be funny for this video would be Tommy and Roman😂😂. Mockey door step will ruin your truck over time. The striker is meant to hold the door closed with no weight pressing down on it. The welds will eventually fall putting weight on the striker.
Awesome video! They face the problems that others consumers would and give practical, useful opinions! Make more videos like this!!!!!!
I agree with Nathan, I hate aftermarket gadgety clutter. Engineered solutions that a dealership might typically partner with because the OEM doesn’t have a offering are usually pretty good.
I think Nathan was upset that Roman didn't find a truck pizza warmer.
I noticed that too haha I think Nathan was expecting other types of accessories like headlights? Light pods? Light bars? Bed cover? Leveling kit? Haha instead they got kiddie stuff
Totally jealous of Nathan's Shaw Brothers shirt!
" I met her once!" :D:D:D I am crying :D
😂 three stooges.. thanks for picking door step to try out.. I’ve been wanting to get one to use while washing my trucks but have been hesitant as it isn’t that cheap.. another great video TFL!
7:22 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nathan got me in stitches!
This was a great segment. It reminded me of why I used to love watching Top Gear.
The new top gear is awful, and the American version is beyond dreadful
Nathan and Andre kill me! 🤣🤣
I believe they use the duck labeling to indicate the water repellent properties listed in the description. ie "water off a duck's back"
Next time, do a throwback episode and shop through J.C. Whitney.
How about a fire extinguisher? Oil catch can / worth it? Where are the tow hooks?
Cheers!
Tow hooks are coming.
Loved this video. I bought my new truck nearly a year ago and I’ve been obsessed with the different accessories out there. Cool to see some feedback if any of these accessories are worth it or not.
I'm with Nathan, I don't like things that go on windshields or dashboards. I got a windshield mounted dashcam that I been considering replacing with one of those that either are a rearview mirror or strap onto the existing one.
Happy new year Nathan. Here’s a Ram light lol.
As a truck driver, I had to have a good phone mount. I only mounted to the window to keep my eyes nearest to the road when running my truck gps, and the vent mount will destroy your vents over time. If you want the sturdiest mount, check your local truck stop. The one I have is huge and kind of ugly but if you're putting down big miles they last much longer. Regular ones might last a couple months with heavy use
This was a great watch. More like this pls!
I agree with Nathan on the wireless car charger. Those things will leave nasty residues on the window!
This was great! I love seeing gadgets, and you guys make me smile. 🙂
I have a 2015 Ram 2 door sport and the only add on that has saved my bacon is a bull bar twice it has saved my plastic front end , much stronger than you think
The very first section about the Carhartt seat organizer told me everything. Y'all never heard of Carhartt? Duck is the type of fabric just like jeans are called denim. Also the red backing tape is RIDICULOUS! Takes me forever to get the second side off...lol
I've used the step for our SUV rooftop box loading and unloading. Works awesome.
Great vid TFL, I would pick mat especially if loading over tray side or working in engine bay but ladder step would be useful, I don’t mind drilling holes as I climb up on my flat tray to reach into my toolbox or camping in my swag on back of the tray. Extra lights maybe ladder set up or undoing spare wheel would make useful mod. Air compressor, power outlet would be great features too.
Always my favorite videos when the Original 3 are in it
Nathan - nice Shaw Brothers shirt!
I truly enjoyed this video. Thanks guys be safe.
I really like this video. Y'all should make it a series but try and buy items that are relatively cheap maybe under $50.
Love it. Item #2 was hilarious 😂
Great idea for a video to fill with affiliate links 😎
The seat organizer is made of duck canvas. That describes the material. It's water resistant like a duck.
Cotton Duck (from Dutch doek,"linen canvas"), also simply duck, sometimes duck cloth or duck canvas - commonly called "canvas" outside the textile industry
Not all of us have those fancy new trucks with the steps that help you climb into the box of your truck so the ladder would be useful to us guys that don't have the fancy tailgate steps offered in newer trucks. Great vid over all would love to see more vids like this!
i have seen factory ones on all trucks made in the last 7 or 8 years except for the ridgeline.... you can add them on after the fact but I'm guessing the one in the fords tailgate would be expensive to add on.
Up until a few weeks ago I never had a fancy tailgate and never had an issue. I always climbed in with the tail gate shut though just stepped on the rear bumper in front of the license plate and climbed on in. You can leave a step stool in the bed too just pull it out when you need it and not drill holes in your tailgate. I just bought a brand new Denali Ultimate though so I have a fancy tailgate now. It even has 700 watt Kickers in it never seen a tail gate with speakers
incase no one else looked it up for you, "The term "duck" comes from the Dutch word doek, which refers to a linen canvas once used for sailors' white trousers and outerwear. The word "cotton" has been added to modern duck items simply to distinguish them from traditional linen duck."
Puddle Light is the term for the Ram light....door guard use guessing was priceless. Let them off too easy.
Please do more of these videos. This was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
A five gallon bucket could replace 3 of those items, storage, stepping to reach the cab, and climbing into the bed. (The bed or door sill could also help you reach the roof without risking damage to your door latch.)
The most useful item that I purchased after watching this video was the ladder on my 4.5 in lift 2500 truck. Good video!
TFL take on the donut accessory videos.
It’s a line of their jackets. I have a duck carhartt work jacket I’ve used and abused. Probably made to match them.
Very fun video. I bought a tailgate ladder for my Ram 2500, installed it but it was weak so now it is in the garage sale pile...
Great video! Really wished you guys had done this with the bronco..
The canvas material of the Carhartt is called Duck Canvas. The origin is from the Dutch word doek, which refers to cloth. Duck canvas is a more rugged material.
You guys are the best!!.......Cheers
I have a similar truck, I ended up buying a brake booster, remote starter that works with original key fob and a tailgate shock so it opens slowly. You guys buy some strange gadgets!
Try headrest hooks!! I have two in my truck and I hang hats and jackets on them!! Pretty versatile!
“Oh, Hell No!” The best reaction ever.
Great work and funny.
This video is more comedic relief than an informative add for "useful" Amazon products.
This is perfect! Let other people buy all the junk we look at and then see what works and what doesn't! More please.
I actually really like the phone holder/charger. I use my phone to stream podcasts and videos while driving. It's nice having it up there to be able to flip to another video. I basically use my phone as my car radio. I might have to look into it!! The seat organizer might be good too.
Duck is a tightly woven canvas fabric. Usually used for tents and outdoor gear.
I tried the aftermarket LED bulbs in my 2019 F150. Pretty sure I got flashed by the lunar rover. I could see really well, but I think I was also x-raying people as they drove by. Just ridiculously bright, even after adjusting my lights down. Ended up taking them out.
That was fun! Could be a cool series of videos.
“I’d rather her do it” 😂
“I met her once.”
“Really!?”
“No.”
Good idea for a new series. I enjoyed watching reactions.
This was great, sub'd for the Dodge and all the accessories, fun video.
They should have installed the ladder... It's fantastic
9:01 “I’d rather her do it.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Carharrtt duck is the material it’s made of. Like there work duck coats.
lol . . loved that . made my day . .!!!
Those door steps will put your door alignment out. As someone who works at an assembly plant the striker is a key point for door alignment.
That gasket is so cool!
So is Andrei awesome at gift giving, or maybe his wife?
For my f250. Rubber floor mats, grill guard, tonneau cover for winter, phone ram mount, and something for the bottom of the bed so metal doesn't rub through the aluminum.
Carhartt is known for the duck fabric seat covers and other duck fabric accessories. Duck is a name of type of fabric.
