I saw that episode and it was the best one I have seen from the American version, the drifting f450 was bad as*. . I personally like the UK version better, the 3 guys in the American version seemed like tools.

this would be true if they did a major payload, they just dragged burned and pulled stuff down, so don't think that the 450 really had a advantage, maybe thats why it sand in the stone

towing capacities between the 450 and the new 3500 are pretty close!

I was annoyed that they didn't know how to disable the traction control in the Chevy. You just have to hold the TC button in for about 5 seconds to turn it off. It will roast the tires, no problem.

For good reason... North Americans can't build a good vehicle. The Europeans are a decade ahead of us in technology and implimentation.

Really? Do the Euros make a dually truck that will fit their narrow highways and city streets?

Without doubt the dumbest post I have ever read (assuming it's not sarcasm?).

As I know you can't back up your ignorant statement, please leave this country immediately if you're serious as you seem to be pretty far up Europe's ass already.....

I saw that episode, useless test, the ***got driving the chevy dually couldn't get it to burn the tires????? A truck test obviously needs to have the SAME driver put the trucks thru their paces, the guy driving the Ford new how to run the hell out of ****!! Aside from prejudice against America I actually like the British show better as they do cooler stuff-skeet throwing with rpg's and a car launcher!!!!!
