zeitgeist57 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm an old-school Chevy Teeruk kind of guy, and ANYONE could come up with creative tests to show how one product outperforms others...but I have to say this is a pretty cool vid of the F-150 competing in various tests against the Ram, Tundra and Silverado. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/26/video-mike-rowe-takes-on-dirty-job-of-comparing-full-size-picku/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEMAN1647545504 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Ford baby... Yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 The new F150 they showed is a sharp looking truck. The Tundra must be a chick truck as it was shaking it's tail like Beyonce . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAWDAD Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 That is why they sell more ford trucks than they do other brands! Good video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 And this is why I've been wanting to upgrade since they released the 09. I just can't justify going from no truck payment to having a truck payment in this economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 If i buy another truck it was already going to be a Ford. That a great video. SELL YOUR TOYOTAS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Wonder where the video comparing the F-150 and Tundra TRD is? Looked like marketing hype to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92dropgt Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Wonder where the video comparing the F-150 and Tundra TRD is? Looked like marketing hype to me. they already had to search hard enough to find a tundra that wasnt getting recalled.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradyPPC Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 The frame flex test is pretty cool to watch and probably the only test they did that couldnt be skewed too much by the driver. All of the new trucks out right now are pretty good. I get to see all of the trucks up close and personal inside and out and that influences what I drive. My F150 has been great and Ford has made some pretty cool changes to the 09 that should make them even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19TbirdSC91 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I saw a video similar to this, well, they only tested the frame flex a year or two ago, and the same thing happened if i remember right, its quite fun to watch. If i remember right, the tundra lost a bunch of paint back then, and it seemed that way now too. All I can say is that the F150 has been America's number one selling pick up for a long ass time for a reason. FORD FTW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm not a bit surprised to see Toyota flunk out on every test, they're shit. Sorry if you own one, have fun driving it around town. Don't even consider towing or hauling anything close to it's rated payload, and don't expect it to still be running in ten years. As for the Chevy, hey great, Ford has a little less body roll, goody. Now try loading twice the rated payload into both vehicles and try it again. Besides, my final criterion is that I don't like my trucks to burst into flames at odd times. I'll stick to Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
