Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- ( www.TFLtruck.com ) The brand new 6.2L V8 in the new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup is the most powerful engine ever crammed into a light duty truck but does that also make it the fastest from 0-60 MPH when towing. There's only one way to find out. Get all three V8 domestic trucks together and hook them up to 5000 pounds and see which one is fastest from 0-60 MPH. Will it be the 2014 Ram 1500 with the HEMI V8 or will it be the Ford F-150 with the 6.2L V8 or will it be the brand new 2014 Chevy Silverado that shares the engine with new new Corvette. In another fin and informative TFLtruck 0-60 MPH video review we find out in this epic V8 Matchup 0-60 MPH towing duel.

0-60 is not what im looking at when i buy a truck
0-60 with a trailer is even worse...what were they thinking
one of the first lines in the video "thanks to gm for flying me out" hmm..wonder which truck will win this...
John Green Exactly why he tested the Chevy twice lol
The fast lane truck gets asked to test trucks he has videos where ram and ford called him. Not uncommon since they test trucks
Jesse Zabel So if Ram had called, would this clown have given the 1500 Express a second chance to win?
+John Green yea I wonder how many takes they did to get a number lower than the ford
+John Green and I own a 14' ram 1500 express
As soon as he said GM flew me out here. I stopped the video and said to myself yep Chevy first Ford second and Dodge third nothing to watch here
Truth it's funny how he gave it a second chance smh
I thought the exact same thing. I did however, stick around to watch the entire thing. I thought he "sealed the biased deal" by giving the Chevy a second chance to beat the Ford. I also noticed that the way he was holding the camera prevented you from seeing the trailer. Did they take a little weight off? Perhaps. I'm actually a Ford guy but I've recently been converted to Dodge. I purchased a Ram 1500 4WD crew with the 5.7 Hemi and I adore it. Something that I've been wondering though is this...With Ford and Chevy now offering larger engines in their pickups, why dosent Ram? You'd think that there would be a huge demend for the 6.4 Hemi in a truck. I'd buy one in a heart beat. Although that new Nissan with the 5.0 V8 Cummins is going to be VERY TEMPTING!!
@BigRedPower59 the reason why they don't is because the EPA will slap RAM in the face with a gas guzzler tax and they would sell it as a SRT product. I'm with you man if RAM sold the 1500 with the 6.4L hemi I'd buy that thing in a heartbeat
***** I agree 100%
I mean in the Chevy's first run it lost to the Ford by 0.6 seconds...Over 1/2 a second...In its second run however, it beat the Ford by 0.9 seconds...Almost a full second! Meaning that from its first run to its second run the Chevy dropped 1.5 seconds of time? I call bullshit...1.5 seconds might now sound like much, but just ask anyone who's raced down the 1/4 mile...In a racing situation 1.5 seconds is HUGE.
That tells me that GM either took some weight off the trailer or did some ''behind the scenes'' tuning on the Silverado before it's second run.
Either way this who joke of a comparison was sponsored by GM, so of course they are going make sure the GM truck comes out on top.
I don't know about that best towing package. The Ram had a 3.55 gear ratio, when they offer a 3.92 gear ratio on their towing package. Big difference, just saying...
Cool, Chevy won a Chevy sponsored test. Nothing like being un-biased.
"Thanks to GM who flew me out here"... man...I wonder who's gonna win?
David Cleveland good point
good point
I smell ford fan boys.
Not to mention, when he did 0-60 the second time he launched the truck at mid RPM compared to "Full throttle"
I'll take my 2013 Big Horn and the sweet sound of the rumbling Hemi over some number on a towing test.
so true. i just bought one and i'm in love with it
But that rumbling tick sounded nice also bet that hemi is done for.
@@Rem-Mag-Hunter I don't know what is sadder or funnier.....your comment on a 10 year old post....or the fact you think I would be driving the same truck 12 years later.... 😂
@@thepeddlejust out of curiosity how did your truck hold up over the years. I want to buy one
Dodge rams may not always out preform the competition, but damn they sure do make a sexy truck!!!!
Dodge does produce good looking vechicles!!..always said that. But i have to rely on mechanics, which is the MAIN reason most of us own... P)
I think a Dodge trucks out performs Chevy in some aspects. Really the only thing people complain about is the transmission (however, they haven't had horrible transmission problems since 95-02).
My old boss has a 05 ram hemi with 415,000 original motor never had to open it up. Tranny went bad at 392,000.
rocky alexander 400k is pretty average.
My brother has had several Chevy/GM vehicles w over 500K !
Top of the line chev, too top of the line Ford, too base model dodge ???? Wtf ??
I know GM paid him some money for that he didn't even floor the ram in the beginning you could hear it
I'm sure he had it floored. The Hemi is under powered compared to either of the 6.2L's from Ford or GM, and on top of having less power/torque the Hemi has 3.55 gearing which is ok for towing, but the 3.92 rear end Dodge offer's would have been better. What's bullshit is that the Ford technically won but it only got one run, The GM got two runs (A second chance to beat the Ford) because GM was sponsoring this event. Would look pretty bad if their own trucks can't even win at the press events.
I have the express ram single cab and would smoke the ram used in this vid. He purposely never floored it. Every video this clown is in he always makes the ram look bad. Completely different story in other "real" automotive tests.
vulcanman64 I'm sure it was floored. The 5.7L just doesn't make as much power as either of the 6.2L's for starters, and secondly this truck is quad cab with a 3.55 rear end. Your express is likely a single cab with the more aggressive 3.92 rear end. A 3.92 Ram will still lose to a 3.73 Ford 6.2L or Chevy 6.2L though.
No he didn’t floor the ram because my dad thought my ram was slow n blew the doors off his Silverado and my buddy’s f15o can’t touch my ram I believe it was rigged
the Chevy making 2 runs and the Ford and Dodge only having 1 run is totally bogus!
I had a feeling that it was going to be a biased test when he mentioned GM footing the bill!
Much as I wanted the Chevy to be better you do bring up a good point. Engine’s and tires been warmed up definitely biased
i dont like the way he always revs the shit out of the engine the second it starts up. its probably not a big deal because these new engines run such thin oil but still its disrespectful to a brand new truck. give it 20 seconds to make sure there is oil all through the engine next time please!
I agree! that was cringeworthy and shows an absolute lack of mechanical empathy. (Never buy a second hand truck off this douche!)
Warren Flay My thoughts exactly. That's unacceptable behavior for someone who presents themselves as an expert. All these new engines need is a turn of the key - carbs are long gone.
Ram is by far my favorite. Badass
All 3 are good trucks , I prefer the Ford as I've been driving Fords since my first car. But any of these will do most jobs and be reliable. This test however was a Chevy sponsored test...so not actually a test but an advertisement ...if your a Chevy guy or gal it will be a great truck , if your a Mopar person buy the Ram....the same with the Ford..just keep buying American trucks in America...regardless of where the plants are located...the Japanese did not start building trucks/cars in America to benefit America...the money winds up as Yen. Buy Ford , Chevy , Dodge and work hard fellow Americans!
That particular Ram was at quite the disadvantage. I have that same Ram Express Black Edition Crew Cab 4x4. It has the older 6 speed, not the newer 8 speed, so it is quite a bit slower. It also has only two axle options, 3.21 and 3.55 limited slip, which I have. This accounts for the big difference. Any higher model Ram would have been nearly identical to the others.
The ram has 3.92 gears and it should have been tested with that
Why was the RAM tested with the old transmission and not the new 8 speed? also chevy ltz, ford lariat, ram express. That like comparing apple to apple to grapefruit.
COME ON FLTRUCK your better then that.
2014 GMC looks really good.
Why no 3.92 axle ratio in the ram?
Yes, please do it right. This is youtube after all. So easy... All you need is 3 brand new 2014 trucks. Three trailers with identical loads. Several video cameras. A computer that runs Final Cut. You also need to know how to use Final Cut. Plus a youtube channel with tens of thousands of subscribers and of course do it all by yourself...just like Roman did in this video. No photographer, no editor, no help what-so-ever. Oh yes, and Roman had less then an hour to shot the entire video. Go for it!
such a bs test hahah dodge got ripped, throw the new 6.4 Hemi in the truck and then test all 3 again
that's what I thought
YEA. why the hell would they use the smallest of engines on a dodge and not the rest?
They don't buy the trucks. They are donated by the manufacturers. So if the manufacturer wanted it tested with the bigger engine they should have stepped up and given it to em.
LA EV they don't put the 6.4 hemi is the Dodge 1500
Larry Evans Umm they used the biggest that dodge puts in the 1500
WTF he ran the Chevy twice! Anyway Ford still today out sells both Chevy and Dodge... Sales for October 2013- Number 1. Fords F series at recorded sells of 623,309. Number 2. Chevrolet Silverado recorded sales of 403,435 units sold. Number 3. Dodge Ram at 293,633. And at Number 4. GMC Sierra at 152,173. Ford still out sold GMC and Chevy combined at 555,608. A difference of 67,701 units more. So when it comes to choice the nation speaks. Ford is the best selling most reliable truck period!....
I like all of them but dude the fords look terrible compared to the ones 5 years ago the rams to me looks the best
so what? it beat it by a good amount, deal with it, ford sucks haha chevy has a better 6.2L.
chevy13319 Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
Ok Mr. internet. Check this Ford out sold Chevy and GMC because Ford has the Powerjoke. Chevy has not changed their Diesel motor since the 6.5 so you think their worried about Ford F-SERIES having more sales? I think not, The only thing the ford has on the chevy in the light duty category is the toy looking Raptor. The end of the year your fords are 5,000-8,000 MSRP and Chevrolet's are still in the 40s when the new models come out. "Don't hate the player. Hate the game." Ha do your research before you come spitting numbers. haha go save your polar bears with your Eco boost.:)
caaa211 Two words for ya....BAIL OUT!!! Wonder if Ford needed money? No cause they make there sells. Also as for your Duracrap I work on those trucks all the time. After 100,000 the fuel system craps out. Hell just 2 weeks ago replaced a new injection pump and all 8 injectors that cost him $8000 with out the labor. I charged $850 labor for each of those suckers. But I do love GM products cause if it wasn't for them I would be out of a job! The 7.3l is the best v8 diesel ever made. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Nice GM commercial. Did the Ford get a second run to try and improve its time? Or try and run a Ram with its 3.92 gears for towing?
and after this video he had to take that chevy back to get more recall work done on it. lmao
I just bought a Ram just like the one in this test. Full black out treatment, it's a slick ride. Traded in my 05 ram for it. Mopar or no car. (or truck)
you got the most simple ram and got the best of the other too smh...
$53,000 for a Ford?...Wow...
$50,000 for a Chevy (that doesn't even have a bed liner)?... Double wow...
Buy a Ram for $40,000 and if it's not perfect, then put $8,000 worth of upgrades into it and you'll have a better truck that cost less and looks better.
There will be fanboys that say "Chevy/Ford frames are better", but we all know Dodge frames hold up, it's the sheet metal that fails.
Amen Ram is bests
Best*
xblade93x Not many vehicles could hold up to ocean salt water cities driven on a daily bases anyways. Fiat is the worst out of the 3, it's cheap because the engineers design ways to use less and cheaper materials. Dodge transmissions are really delicate to. A friend at work bought a 2013 ram sport brand new an after 65,000km the tranny was not changing gears smoothly as it once did. It was not slipping yet, it was progressing to that stage. Also Fiat is in really bad trouble financially, it will be interesting how they do in the next 10 years. GM and Ford are the Last North American trucks made. Fiat just recalled 1.4 million vehicles because of hacker threats.
+boskey10 Okay, so clearly you have personal issues with Chrysler products. A simple "I don't like Daimler-Chrysler products" would have been sufficient. Perhaps you are not aware that FIAT does not just own Chrysler. FIAT owns Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati to name a few, so financially I don't think they have much to worry about. Also, I didn't say look at a truck on Long Island, the East coast is anywhere from Boston to the very Western-most border of NYS... So, that being said I have never seen a ford older than 10 years without considerable frame rot. GM vehicles have weak motors and cheap parts. For your own knowledge, Ford nor GM are all American made, the Toyota Tundra is more 'Made in the USA' than any of the "American Brands". Regardless of that, Transmission service is required every 30,000 miles for a Dodge Ram, they notoriously have transmission issues, which are made incredibly worse when abusing the truck by towing a 6,000lb trailer up and down hills without the "Tow/Haul" engaged. They also have front suspension issues and succeptable to light body rot on the bed/tailgate, but the motors in these trucks tick on for a very long time. (Not unusual to see one in the 140,000 mile+ range). But at any rate, preference plays a major role in everyone's stance and "brand loyalty", personally I will always hold Dodge to a higher level than GM or Ford, particularly because Dodge styling is astronomically superior, Fords are ugly but work very hard and take a lot of abuse, GMs ride nice but can't work for longer than the first 1,000 miles and normally look like the south end of a northbound pig.
xblade93x Yes i'm fully aware of what Fiat owns. An yes they are not doing so well like in the past, that's why there cars are so cheap so they could sell more, besides the exotics. I said Ocean salt water cities that means the Atlantic ocean which is all the states you mention. An i also said made in North America that means Canada, Mexico and USA. Everything doesn't evolve around USA anymore. An all you said, was the styling was superior, which means jack shit when major issues arise. The fact is all brand new trucks are overpriced, regardless of what brand people choose. Buy used don't pay retail. An Gm's last a lot longer then 1000 miles, please that's just you disliking GM.
That guy can't maintain lane to save his life.
Always try to match the final drive ratios! Ram's 3.55 ratio put it out of the running before you started!
Exactly. If the ram wouldve had the 3.92 diff, then it would've been a contender
They posted a comment saying that they had made a mistake and the Ram had the 3.92 gears.
Chevy was paying for the video, its a chevy sales pitch. I bought a new 98 chevy truck which I still have. So far I replaced, 2 fuel pumps, 1 new alternator, 1 water pump, 1 intake manifold gaskets, 1 inside door handle, 1 windshield washer control board, 1 radiator, 1 new fuel injectors. truck has 100k on it. I would never buy a chevy again.
This is biased... he even says in the beginning, "Thanks to GM, who flew me out here."
also how are you going to use the 5.7 hemi? they def have a 6.4l which would have been "apples to apples" seeing as how you use the 6.2 from chevy and ford.... would have been way better if you used the 5.0l or ecoboost from ford and the 5.3l from chevy for the 5.7 hemi. that sir would have been "apples to apples"!
You can't get the 6.4 hemi in a half ton yet is why they used the 5.7, so it's as close to apples to apples as you can get with the big three
ik this dude must be paid by ford
Clearly that's why he gave the Chevy a second try in this video in an attempt to beat the Fords time...
I think you guys cheated the Dodge just a bit but that's me
Brian Dunn yea he took longer to cut the timing on it, wish he could record video speed and time lapse at the same time
This guy is throwing the Ram under the bus... Compare the 5.0 or Ecoboost Ford to the 5.3 Chevy, to the 5.7 HEMI with the similar rear ends!! Chevy commercial here...... I've driven and towed with all three of these trucks over the past few years and the Ram easily is the best towing half ton I've ever driven. If this idiot would compare apples to apples like he said... he wouldn't have used the stripped down Ram express (basically the cheapest Ram you can buy), against a 6.2 Lariat to a 6.2 LTZ. Don't get me wrong... all three of these are great American trucks, but C'MON MAN!!!!
ram looks the best
In ur dreams
damn straight
They all look good in my opinion
$53000 for a New ford ? Keep it !!
I bought my 04'4x4 heritage 4.2 liter 5 speed for $13000 still have it with 83,000 miles. Bought it with 10,000 miles on it . Who in the hell pays 50 grand for a Girly automatic frilly pick- up? any brand for that matter
someone sounds jealous that they dont have enough money to own a ford.
-ford owner
Luke McKay he does own a ford...
Luke McKay that's why I have 268,000 in my 401K because im not stupid enough to buy a truck every 4 years
Peter R Live like no one else does today....and live like no one can tomorrow...
Old, but I had to respond: They also offer less expensive versions, in case you were wondering. You can buy a new 2014 for about 19-20k if you try. It won't have all the gadgets of the Platinum model they apparently tested, but it will easily work as well as your current truck and get better economy while being more powerful in the process. Or you could opt anywhere between those 2 ends and get a heck of a hauler for about 38k, including 4X4 and supercab if you want it and a TT 3.5L V6, which is as efficient as your current 6, but makes about 3 times the power and torque. Just sayin' ... if you're all upset about it, look up the truck and see what's available before bashing..
You should have tested the RAM w/ the new 8-speed transmission, not the 6-speed. That is RAM's ideal towing truck, not the one you tested. That gives RAM the advantage with having less power.
And he tested it with the 3:55’s not the 3:92’s
this was completely unfair for the Dodge Ram
He obviously shows favoritism for the Silverado...
Well they did fly him out there. If their truck didn't win, he'd have to walk home.
this is what they should of had in the Ram for a fair challenge. 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 delivers best-in-class 410 horsepower (306 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 429 lb.-ft. of torque
Dodge body, Cummins Engine, Allison transmission, Ford chassis. There, end all discussions, we will call it the sexy beast.
Levi Mattfield so you want a Ram
lol i like the way you think but it needs the cummins out of a ford though
Kate Landscroft The body is just personal preference lol. Dodge trucks in my opinion look very luxurious. I kind of just view ford trucks as work trucks.
You tested the chevy twice... You only tested the ford once ....
Let's give the ford another go..only fair I'm sure it could do better.
Such bullshit.. Test the Ford again like you did the Chevy! Not to mention the inside of a Ford is 100x nicer than the plain look of a Chevy. This test was obviously started favoring the Chevy. Poor Dodge got the shaft as well.
Ford with ac on vs Chevy without ac one
Fair?
both runs where with ac on
Tim McCormick I wasn't there so i can't say for sure, but with what they said in the video the ac was on for both, that's assuming what they said was true.
And plus the chevy lost the first time and he tried it again, he didn't do that with the ford.
The A/C turns off at WOT on all those truck
they all had a/c on. The dodge could barley turn the a/c compressor much less the tires. By the way...How's dodge and ford doing at NASCAR,,,hahahaha!
The main problem with the Ram in the gearing in the Transmission, not the lack of power. The 6 speed in that particular ram has a first gear ratio of 3.00 which is ridiculous for low end grunt, the rear gear can only do so much. It would be a much better comparison if you would of had the 8-speed trans in the ram, the first gear in that is 4.71 which is much better for getting out of the hole.
if you wanna haul a heavy load, buy a silverado. if you wanna swallow a heavy load, buy a ford
ThaGVPSon lol
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE, GM is the BEST!!!! Ford sucks, and chrysler is half owned by fiat. (For those car noobs, Chrysler owns Dodge, Ram, Chrysler and jeep)
Exactly
Ford constantly underrates the hp numbers on their engines.
hah... "thanks GM for flying me out here".... "oh that time was slower than the Ford... LETS TEST AGAIN" **unhooks trailer and points camera at dashr** "OOH HOH! WOW... now that was fast"
Smh The 2nd test drive was downhill
On the Chevy
Victor Vergara for real ford is still king of the hill Chevy didn't win first time give it another. hance
should of used the big horn instead of the express, big difference
I'm glad to see i'm not the only one disturbed by the way he reved the engine as soon as it started on all of them.
Hardly an apples to apples test with the RAM, you tested the f150 with 3.73 because you said it is "the towing axle, the one you want for towing", yet when testing the RAM you tested with the 3.55 axle instead of the 3.92 axle which is what RAM has for towing. I wonder why RAM scares you all so much that would you purposely use the wrong axle for testing? I'll bet if you had used the proper 3.92 axle the RAM would have won the 0-60 test hands down.
They should of crammed the 6.4L hemi motor in that ram thing would be a beast.!
+econewpower Probably not.. the 3.92 would not add 3 seconds to the time. Sorry.
I'm a ram owner.
dude is such a Ford fan boy very unprofessional I see it in all the videos a bit much
what is funny in is saying a lot about their driving is cars.com drove a Pentastar v6 Ram with a 5500 pound trailer - 11.2 seconds on level ground what's that say
Agreed no one on you tube actually put top of the Rams it's like they r scared of it. bull shit tests
Thanks to Gm who flew me out here. Wonder why Chevy won. I’m currently have a 2015 6.2 Chevy and I had the 2012 5.7 ram with a caí and exhaust and it feel a tad quicker if not the same.
Wow, so the engine with the most horsepower and torque accelerated the trailer at the fastest rate? What a surprise!
p
lol
Nope, he did a second run but slight downhill just to beat the fords time. It is a Chevy event so it’s biased.
Personally I like all three currently have a 2012 Silverado and 2012 fusion sport and been looking at rams for my next truck. My only problem with the video is the Axel ratio on the dodge being the 3.55. They have it with a 3.92 or 3.93 if forget which but that ratio is available even with the 8 speed.
People saying this Channel is by GM is pathetic. These two guys try their best to make a entertaining and truthful channel.
Exactly
i'm a ford guy but i'm kinda killin' for that all black ram.
SAME
Love the way those Hemi's sound.
well Chevy definitely paid for this....
Just bought a Ram Sport fully loaded. You can have your Fords and Chevys, nice trucks, but you should see this Ram. Damn it's pretty, black on black.
I think for the price the dodge is the winner
damn that black on black ram is nice
You wanna know why they went cheap on the Ram? Because the 1500 that is at the same price point as the Ford and the Chevy beat the shit out of the Chevy. And then Ford and Dodge/ Ram drove off nicely into the sunset while making jokes at the Chevy, including but not limited to-
"How do you make a Chevy go faster down hill? Cut the engine"
"How do you double the value of a Chevy? Put gas in it"
"CHEVROLET= Constantly Having Every*Vehicle*Recalled Over Lousy
Engineering Techniques"
"GMC= Garbage Manufacturing Company"
Mynigga53 GM paid him to go out there and make the Chevy look like the best...
The Biggie Cheez How do you Know???
Mynigga53 because he said it in the beginning
The important factors are the engine and drivetrain, which the 40k ram had the best offerings available. The added costs for more expensive rams come from leather seats and other crap. The engine and drivetrain are the same.
Go fuck your self jn the ass chevy can beat the shit out of ford and ram ram is cheap and had no power and the 3500 ram is a fucking v6 man up ram u should have a v8 chevy can easily beat ford and ram put together
The chevy and ford compete on a total different scale group
In that case they should've used the hemi 6.4 since they were using above 6 numbers
of course they had to do another test of the chevy, this is funded by chevy. I can guarantee he did not have the dodge all the way to the floor. I have a dodge just like that one only its a big horn and it beats my friends chevy everytime.
I'm a ram mechanic I'm sorry I've driven ford chevy and ram, hands down ram has more power than the other leading brands. No offense to any ford or gm fans out there
Why didn't you try the ford twice
did the second run in a different stretch of road and he launched it with elvated rpm's I am a chevy 6.2 owner (2012) and I will admit its a bias test.
Dodge still has the best diesels
Ford, Ram(Dodge) and Chevrolet ALL make great pickup trucks. NOBODY is going to buy a pickup truck based on its 0-60 times with a loaded trailer. You buy a pickup truck for its reliability and your dedication to the brand. I had a Tahoe through college (97' 4-door) and with over 250K miles it was an amazing truck. Never broke down or stalled on me. Anyone would be lucky to have any of these trucks but at the end of the day.. Give me the Chevy
He teared up quick when his favorite bowtie lost to the FORD! haha
Put the same make tires on each truck, make it a real comparison.
His review of the Raptor, which he disabled comments on, was as much of a whine over a Ford as this.
Seems like you shouldn't do vehicle tests with so much bias towards one particular brand. Atleast not let it show so much. I have a chevy but you did two runs with the 'sado and only one with the others, not cool man.
Yeah that's pretty unfair testing a $40,000 base model Ram with 3.55 axle, compared to Ford and Chevy's $50,000 top models with axles built for towing. I'm not a fan of any car brand that's just not a fair fucking test lol.
I'm a RAM man all day long, but I love what Ford is doing with their trucks, that being said they just disrespected that Hemi with their apples to oranges test! My five Rams have never let me down and they are the best looking trucks period!
lol this isn't biased at all...
Further proof that this guy has no business testing vehicles. Don't get me wrong, I wanted the Chevy to win..but if you have to go: 'oops, the right one didn't win, lets just give it another chance cuz my driving is ridiculously inconsistent', maybe you should consider that your methods are pretty worthless. I get that the dude doesn't seem to know much of what he's testing but you don't need to be a major car guy to know that the trucks should be compared with an equal number of runs. Personally, if i weren't able to make consistent runs in a vehicle I certainly wouldn't post videos as an authority on them..
yea the fastest, it only took two tries lol, everyone will always try to disprove ford because they know its the best, no matter how many flaws their trucks have, no matter how many 6.0 powerstrokes were repaired ford will remain the best, there is a reason they were the first major car company
If you notice, the second test he was going down a slight decline in the road. Second, this is not an apples to apples test with any of the trucks. Thank goodness for fast forward on the vid's.
Wow, is he every biased! For host he did a terrible job, as I could see he was pro GM from the beginning of the video.
I guess TFLT deleted my other comment that I had on here. Either way, Roman keeps responding saying that the Chevys first recorded time was due to tow/haul being engaged. The funny thing about that though, is that after the short and mostly negative introductions, Roman had no issue in the Ram or Ford. The man was on top of his game. He literally managed to drive them both all the way to 60mph (from 0!) with no issues. When he hops in the Chevy, you are in for a treat as he walks you through all the reasons you should want this truck. What it does, how it makes him feel (I mean its the kind of truck your Dad might drive!). Yet unfortunately he forgets to turn off tow/haul mode.
One thing that should be noted is that tow/haul mode being off frees up about 150whp. If you notice, he has no trouble dropping an entire second an a half off of the 12.72 the truck ran under WOT conditions just a second ago. Roman ensures us that nothing was changed, the same weight, same road no downhills or anything, same trailer, AC is on, he didn't use a programmer on it or anything. The tow/haul mode is just that good, 12.72 to 11:25 at the push of a button. Only the Chevy had the GM engine so only it was re-ran after the Ford recorded the fastest time. He would have shown you the other trucks run again but the camera's memory card ran out of space!
This is also why he doesn't show the trailer being towed, it would have been boring to see it again, you just saw it. He gives you his word that it is not only identical, but that it is there too. If he had tried to show the trailer, the sheer torque of the tow/haul mode release would have sent the cam flying, endangering lives.
GM also wanted you guys to know that it wasn't their fault. Though they arranged the shoot and flew him out there, they said it was fine if the Ford won, they are a company that honors the rules, a company that believes in sportsmanship. They also wanted to re-iterate that they would not have had the money to pay him even if he had wanted to be paid, which of course he didn't.

Well, Government Motors flew him out there so of course the pos Chevy is gonna win...
It's General Motors dumbf*$#
baseballcraze4444 Na, more like General Mistake..
baseballcraze4444 He intentionally referred to them as "Government Motors" because of the $50 billion bailout that GM received from the US government in 2009....no need for slander. :)
Sorta like Govern Greece huh?
Agreed
On the Siverado's second run why do the tac and speedometer jump in the video? Everything else is smooth, but those gauges seem to jump up to me. Very odd...
He's Biased!
Think you are because your being biased for the ford or ram
I honestly feel like the Ford and Chevy's times are unbelievably fast. 12 seconds with 5,000 pounds is unreal.
"Thanks to GM who flew me out here.." enough said. BTW I own a 14 Silverado nothing but a hunk of junk. Never again.
Mine is great
Watched 2 of this guys videos and he is such a dork. I haven't and never will buy a truck based on it's 0-60. It's a purchase you have to live with. Last F150 I had was nothing but trouble ending in the transmission giving up, I was fixing that truck continuously, never again. Just bought a new Ram and it's an all round great truck, the Hemi is smooth and I can drive it all day long, in comfort. So far averaging over 20+ mpg. If I am towing I am not interested in how fast but how economical and how safe.
Biased....
That's why he had to run the Chevy Twice.
Ford all day Baby!
For all those haters on the "Small V8" in the F150.... thats probably the best production V8 ever put in a truck, if not right behind the 5.3 that GM has.
GOVERNMENT MOTORS
they all took the monies not just gm
nope read up
Patrick Connolly No, you read up. Ford and Dodge both took bailouts. Ford called theirs a loan. And still have not paid it back.
Manny Molina Please read your facts right CHevy and dodge were right there begging the government to bailthem out cuz they suck. ford never got one.Learn the facts
NJRedneck1986 once again, you learn yours. Never said chevy or dodge didn't get a bailout. And I own a ford. So there isn't a preference here. Ford got a big ass loan the same time chevy and Dodge got their bailouts.
bottom line in my opinion..... All three are great trucks. The Dodge (equally my favorite with the Ford) is by far the most improved out of any of them, because it had the most to be improved. The Ford has by far the most heavy duty suspension, chassis, and body of the three. Chevy edges out the three with their powertrain, and has for a while. I won't buy the Chevy just because of the electrical, and body/interior integrity issues. The plastic they use, or the way they construct it, is somehow much cheaper than the Ford. They need to prove they've fixed all that first. Then I'll consider buying it.
My 76 f150 has 890.000 miles on it and still runs smoothly. I don't see why anyone is complaining about Ford.
Yeah I think that was a bit cheap seeing how you put a small block against two big blocks and said tow. If you're going to test stuff at least put them in the same class. What you did would be like telling a cavalier to race a wrx.
Ford has a well-earned reputation for quality, dependability and power??? Stop playing around....
Damn the way it all changed
The Ram with 6 speed (and of course the lower trim). That transmission is slow to shift and not aggressive enough to launch the ram in the 1st gear as you saw in the video, the 8 speed would give a better number despite the 5.7 Hemi being weaker than the 6L + from ford and Chevi. The Hemi 6.4 with the 8 speed would have better chances to beat them. too bad it doesn't produce the 470 HP and torque as the SRT Jepp Grand Cherokee that would kill them for sure ;)
The Ram used in this test is not the max towing version. The Ram in the video had the old slow shifting 6 speed transmission instead of the new quick shifting 8 speed. There is also an optional 3.92 axle ratio but the test truck in the video had a 3.55. With an 8 speed and 3.92 the Ram would not have been beat by 3 seconds. It still probably wouldn't have won but it would have been a lot closer.
Late on Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. In Canada GM is recalling 51,115 vehicles.

Me and my mate went to the u.s , I got the same chev in this test and my mate had the same ford. The ford was the better by far .we had the trucks for all the time we were in the usa , I got the keys of the ford , its alot faster more powerful . Way better to drive
Hmmmmmmm takes 2 trys with the Silverado...seems really excited for the Silverado? and if you wonder why, lets see GM paid for him to come out there. It doesn't matter, Ford outsells GM and everyone else, so i think we know who wins in any comparison
Umm also the Ram that was tested didn't have the best towing package available because it was the 3.55 gears and 6 speed trans. Ram offers a 3.92 gear package paired with an 8 speed trans.
No it was faster because Roman had the Chevy in tow/haul mode by accident in the first run. But what a surprise...the most powerful truck was the fastest. Who would have thought that extra torque and horsepower would make a truck go faster? That's pretty crazy.
Normally I love your guy's videos and feel your very unbiased but the fact that GM flew you down there and how "excited" you were when the truck from the company that paid you to be there won the contest after having more tries than the competition just makes this entire video seem pretty illegitimate.
100% bro !!
Why does everyone argue about which truck is better right now trucks have gotten so good that now it's more preference than anything
The dash covering the downhill horizon
The Dodge truck is 40k brand new with crew cab 4x4 and a hemi. The other are 50k+ for like $1,000.00 bucks you can add cold air intake and a free flow muffler 50 series and the hemi will be around the same HP as the Silverado. So 41k for the dodge =win. Not to mention you can get a single cab express for 20-25k with a 395hp hemi. No other truck/manf. sells something like it for that price.
