america's toughest truck
 

Has anyone seen the episode on history channel about a competition between a Toyoto , Dodge & a chevy square body across Alaska's rugged terrain . Well , guess who won :metal:. Ithink they run reruns , so check it out it's very cool. Think all of you would really enjoy seeing this.

Re: america's toughfest truck
 

so far this is the only episode I have missed...to bad it seems like the best so far! Gotta watch it

Re: america's toughfest truck
 

it was a cool episode. The Toyota was the truck the drivers had to drive when their truck broke down. The square body was rocking especially in the end when it drove down to the iceberg.

just finished watching that this evening. I was on my feet yelling at the TV like a loon when i say the square racing towards the end! Man I miss my 4x4. I told the wife that if the chevy drove back out after backing into the iceburg I was going to buy another 4x4 short bed. well....the seach begins

Re: america's toughest truck
 

What is this show called?

Re: america's toughest truck
 

Although I think they should have got trucks of equal year/working order I am glad Chevy did it

Re: america's toughest truck
 

Top Gear

Re: america's toughest truck
 

that was the most lame show i have watch in a long time
good the chevy won but what was the challange 3 diffrent era trucks i mean come on

Re: america's toughest truck
 

83 BABY!!! NP205 and probably a modified 350 with a 350TH tranny.

Re: america's toughest truck
 

They were all from a different era, but it seemed to me that each of the guys were driving the most popular, reliable trucks that Ford, Dodge, and GM had manufactured.

Those Fords from the seventies, sorry for the F word:lol:, were just about indestructible. There are a lot of the 'ol f250's in my area still earning their keep!

The new dodge in 1994 was a lot different from any thing they had before, the new style probably helped, but i'm sure cummins had the most to do with the sudden increase in popularity. They are still the same as the any 'ol dodge in my eyes!

Nice to see the chevy come out on top! I know i'm branded but it's for a good reason, you can't beat an older GM!

I watched it on my DVR.
The Ford died due to a bad U-joint. That's BS, it's not a manufacturer specific part and can happen to anyone at any time.
I'm not pulling for the Ford, but the way it went out was bogus.
Now the Dodge, that was more up to character. The cheap built POS died several times and finally wouldn't restart. Should have pulled that junker out of the wilderness or burned it on the spot.
That little stepper kept on going, probably drove it all the way back to the starting point.

Re: america's toughest truck
 

I watched the show. The first time I ever tuned into Top Gear. I usually read the show description and say 'nah', but when the description said "America's Toughest Truck", I tuned in. I'm glad the old Chevy came out on top. Some things were pretty corny, but it was nice to see that stepper back down, hit the glacier and come back out...

I wonder what the outcome would be if they used three new trucks?? :chevy:

Re: america's toughest truck
 

I agree with the BS about the ford, if he would have drove that thing smart and not yank on the throttle there he might have made it. I'm not a Ford guy at all but that was kind bs. And as far as the dodge, I own one and i think if that guy would have diven it a little smarter he may have mad it. And im glad to see the chevy make it all the way!!! I did enjoy the hood flopping hahah he used a bungy strap one time around it hahaha could have done a little better lol. Vert ramp camper FTW

Re: america's toughest truck
 

Made me proud!

Re: america's toughest truck
 

the hood flapping on the whoops was hilarious :lol::lol:

Re: america's toughest truck
 

i watched it on the web site and couldn't see the last 4 min:( :waah: did the chevy beat the Toyota?

Re: america's toughest truck
 

Honestly... I'd rather have the Toyota to cross Alaska, but I'd still rather own the Chevy. :lol:

Re: america's toughest truck
 

Yeah, the chevy was bookin it to the ice and Tanner goes "it just dawned on me, I'm representing all of the American automakers" "and that's when it became about national pride" he beat the Toyota there and to touch an iceberg he back up into one.....it then preceded to start floating away but then he charged out of the water again and that was the end of the episode..
