  • thumbs up if you think it would be fun to do a HUGE burnout on that hill lol

  • it also depends on your tires

  • i have a 73 f250 thats only 2 wheel drive and i live in colorado, in the mountains lol and all i do is throw some sand bags over my rear axil and skinny tires the limited slip rear end and the truck is heavy as hell ( real american steel) and i havent gotten stuck in it ever its all about the driver

  • What's the point of this? Trucks still have 4WD... Right?

  • @xboxkiller1264 thats the beauty of this test. It is all a giant waste of time. Anyone tackling a snowy hill will not say to themselved "oh jeee my fuurd f-teen thousand can make it in 2wd", they will use AWD where i bet the difference is very little if any. Now if your truck doesnt have AWD then what are you doing on an icy hill. Although bragging rights means that getting up a hill with only 1 wheel of power is best

  • Get a Subaru, or Mitsubishi Evo

  • Id still take the nissan :P

  • FORD ALL THE WAY

  • so.... all they tested was the stock tires...

  • silverado and sierra gotta be there? but why?

  • 2 words. Four low.

  • Ya but here is the problem we own an f150 there is no traction off button which means if you want to roast the tires off or go sideways you can't for very long

  • @finonm7 same here i have a 2009 f150 and it does have a traction off button button it still engages when i spin the tires just delayed a bit longer which sucks ass

  • The only thing i would drive in place of my f150 is tundra. they are both reliable and amazing trucks.

  • Everything depends on conditions. If each vehicle equipped the same 4x4 capability. Heavy Vehicle is not always better than lighter one's. Going up hill with lots of dips and rocks heavy vehicles will loose the race. On even or smooth surface with pretty high level of snow cover heavy vehicles will come out as better trail-blazers. Or on uneven muddy surface heavy vehicle will be on hard time to go thru. But when, again, on even muddy and slippery conditions, heavy would look better. Each has

  • For those of you who think Tundra is better than a Ford check this video out. No BS, no bias, just real eyeball test. Seriously you can't spin this test - no excuses.

    Search for 2009 Ford F150 Vs. 2008 Toyota Tundra

  • I had a 2007 f150 and it broke down a lot so i got a Silverado, but to my surprise it was even worse. Everything fell apart in only one year. This year I ended up getting a Toyota and so far it is still doing good.

  • All Americans do is eat donuts n buy big cars that handle shit n stick silly big engines in them cus then can't produce big power out of a much smaller engine. Get the landrovers on there they wuda shot up the Sloap towing one of those heavy bags of shit up there

  • did the americans aver heard of traction control and other systems that make the car perform better? looks like not

  • what is the poiunt of the retard test? why use only rear wheel if you have 4 wheels? Thats why the Japanese car failed...

    The Japanese didn't bult it so that an idiot would leave it in rear wheel drive...

    Japanese did alot of effords to make idiot proof cars for americans...

    how many of you can really drive with a manual transmission and without ABS and ESP?

  • @215alessio you are proof that idiots abound.  Your probably one of the re-tard-os in the ditch with their 4x4 cause you think that's all it takes. Kook

  • @GT500Shelby07 pretty guy. I drive a Lorry or camion with manual transmission

    8 gears plus splitter

    to get out of sutch situations you need to action the 4x4 lever and both differental block leavers

    I drove a bombardier offroad army vehicle to

  • Dumb, the Chevy and GMC have available locking rear diffs, and both shown here are equiped with those. Had they not hammered the gas pedal (which is what you are not suppose to do on icy and snowy roads) the diff would've locked up, making them go up the hill no problems. This test was driven by idiots, and not just the gm vehicles, the other brands as well. Must be a bunch of southern drivers with no experience in an actual winter situation.

  • All depends on the driver! If they have a locking diff, they will go , if you know how to drive!

  • Im a chevy guy.Ok. They lost this test.Ok. But when I see its icy or snowing,I put my truck in 4 wheel hist or 4 wheel auto.Im not gonna take a 40000 dollar truck down the road and see if it will go in 2 wheel drive in icy conditions.That why I got a 4 wheel drive.

  • говнище бля

  • and they do with the water being pulled, I would like to know that is wasted

  • so my question is why did the Chevy's outside tire ( on pavement) still spin as well? It almost seems as though maybe the brakes were being applied as the trucks were going up hill? I dunno I've watched it a few times and I question that part.....most trucks suck in 2WD anyhow...that is why my friends they come in 4WD, most people would just use it, instead of spinning the shit out of the rear tires!

  • @Mrjmoyer78 it is weird and the gm trucks had rear lockers too.

  • @Mrjmoyer78 after a certain rpm, the differental locks and both tires will spin at the same rpm.

  • its fake

  • Ok so American logic= Slippery surface, lets see how the trucks perform with RWD instead of using 4 wheel drive like any person would do. I am not a fan of trucks but seriously, is it slippery you switch to 4x4, just logic.

  • @Jimpank90 This is not testing off road ability, but how well the TCS works. If you switch to 4WD the Traction Control is not needed.

  • @Jimpank90 You're actual somewhat wrong there. If it's slippery you really, really shouldn't engage AWD, only if you actually get stuck. The reason is simple: If you lose control of your vehicle with AWD and slip in every single wheel, you lose all control over your vehicle and your next destination is the ditch.

    … oh and the test is a total joke everyone. When testing traction and comparing different cars, a good idea is to use tires of the same make and model. I say no more…

  • @AHSauge Why stay in RWD when it is slippery? Then you risk loosing control more easily. A little to much gas is all that is required. An AWD wont loose the grip that easy, it needs you too really force it to loose grip.

  • @Jimpank90 that wasnt the point of the test. they were testing the traction control systems. any 4wd with full lockers will come out on top anyday. for example, the dodge powerwagon and the jeep rubicon. i own a tundra and the traction control sistem is shit in the sand or when you need momentum to get through...

  • where is the nissan navara ?

  • is this tiers test or trucks?

  • I think the prius is quite the fuckin rig.

  • Bald tires would have made this a more interesting test of traction.

  • Like always the chevy and Toyota wins

  • is your brother adam levine

  • @cb7pwn

  • So let me get this straight.... they went to/ and were allowed to use the GM proving grounds, and found that the GMC/Chevy didn't do so good? wtf were the higher ups at GM thinking? "Hey I got a good idea... lets let them use our proving grounds, to show how shitty our product is! Brillant!"

  • @kkrankie to me this was bias anyway the chevy with the locking diff worked just fine when it locked so idk what they were talking about but anyway i just put a locker in my truck so i could care less about this test lol

  • @kkrankie But if GM did do good you would've said that Since it was done at GM's proving grounds, they would've obviously had a bribed advantage.

  • @kkrankie hey atleast then it was a legit test

  • @kkrankie

    at least they are honest:)

  • @kkrankie That was my thought. The ford and toy did better at the Government Motors, OOPS!!! I mean General motors proving ground. I guess they proved that GM are junk along with nissan and dodge.

  • @kkrankie Its cause they are honest, not like ford where they will lie and say there vehicle is better in every possible way.

  • thats stupid all you would have to do is lock the differential on the titan and it would go up that without slipping at all.

  • What the hell chevy has locking diffs that's a plus I can tell they turned off the traction control off this is rigged real test the chevy and Sierra comes up on top G80 lockers perform better when the traction control is on and in this case somebody turned it off the tires would not burnout like that rigged that's all I can say more test like this show the real outcome

  • Volkswagen Amarok wins.

  • haha of course Ford beats shitty chevy and dodge

  • @AdverbAdjective haha your gay

  • @goodinsrt8 lmao good comeback from a dumbass

  • i really dont like traction control, sure it helps in this test but when you actually live ina slick climate. if you have traction control and your going up a hill and it cuts power it makes the situation worse

  • Arent the Sierra and Silverado the same thing? Correct me if im wrong. I dont claim to be an expert. Lol.

  • Comment removed

  • thats why the trucks have 4wd, so who really cares how they perform in 2wd cause they can just be switched to 4wd

  • @FreeSkier155 thats the whole point of this traction test, how well can the vehicle traction is without putting it in 4WD.

  • these chevy guys sit back and brag about a rear locking diff, but chevy just got beat by TOYota 

  • @FreeSkier155 Well you are right, but if you are going up a hill during winter and there are cars behind, the last thing you want to do is have to stop and pop the truck in 4x4 to make it up a hill. It could cause an accident from your truck sliding backwards if you stop too quickly from panic or begin to slip back before you can get it in 4x4. This test shows which truck would be most reliable in this scenario, which is just one of many.

  • @FreeSkier155 The purpose of the test to determine at what point the vehicle needs further assistance. 4wd can have just as poor performance wheel slip isn't controlled. When the vehicle is equiped with both front and rear lockers 4wd becomes a relevant test but with out a front locker there is no benefit to testing 4wd. My truck has front and rear lockers and would walk up that with out either wheel slipping because the traction to the good tire would be sufficient to move it.

  • um I thought thats wat 4 wheel drive was for, slippery shit. that test was stupid for trucks, should have been for rear wheel drive cars instead. cuz if u think about it if u had a truck that was slippin wouldnt u stop amd put it in four wheel drive?

  • @osn1984 not all trucks and 4x4

  • so if ur on ice and u start to slip that u wouuldnt put it in 4 wheel drive. if so ur a retard

  • proof thay chevys fucking suck more then ford. and for diesels the duramax is as shit as it gets dodge ford trucks and japanese cars all the way.

  • @weedissafer Its not that they suck at all, its a designe flaw. Besides you just dont have faith in a bad ass brand.

  • @IrishmenV8 i have faith in ford they the better then the other shit chevys

  • @weedissafer so says you, a pro life nut? or maybe a ford nut? Nah you are just someone who doesnt realize that MAINTENANCE is the key to ANY vehicles life and success. Which must be the reason I see some many fords on the back of tow trucks. hmmm go figure.

  • @IrishmenV8 are you retarded? there's a reason the ford f-150 and the f series is the most sold vehicles on earth.

  • use the goddamn 4wd

  • extreme traction-control test

  • fuck it i have a tundra xP

  • a comparison o the most useless trucks made...... compare compact trucks or 3/4t+ diesels, not soccer mom fullsize gas trucks

  • Kissing test

    1.hold

    2.go to another video

    3.add this as your comment

    Did you make it if so your an awesome kisser

  • i dont think when you go up an icy slope you have traction on one wheel and ice on the other...

  • buy small cars u stupid americans

  • @mohammedsidhu maybe if you guys started building good quality vehicles that last and look good, we'd might

  • @mohammedsidhu I cannot comprehend the stupidity of your comment.

  • @mohammedsidhu small cars don't haul farm equipment.

  • @mohammedsidhu ever try to haul hay, horses, tractors, farm equipment, lumber, welding equipment, or really ny heavy load with a small car yeah umm it doesnt fucking work without blowing the tranny or burning up the clutch get good sized truck and there you go haul almost anything BTW i do own a small car and a big truck so go fuck yourself

  • @mohammedsidhu Calm down camel fucker

  • SO F-150 FTW?

  • the gm axles locked way better than the ford, but the tires are thinner and the truck weighs way less. both tires spun perfectly

  • idk why but to me f150s are really ugly

  • @TheGreatWhiteTimmy well go buy a gm gouv. product or a dodge LOL

  • @TheGreatWhiteTimmy and the tundra isnt?

  • @aragon667 tundra as well

  • @TheGreatWhiteTimmy How about the SVT Raptor or Lightning? I think theyre nice looking trucks.

  • @BumbleBeeGS Raptors are sick

  • @TheGreatWhiteTimmy To me it's dodges, though I still like them. Then again when it comes to trucks I like I usually think of trucks made before 1985. After that they're all pretty damn ugly. I mean what kind of a truck has more cab than bed. They look more like an SUV with a chunk of the roof torn off the back.

  • @TheGreatWhiteTimmy even the raptor? I think the raptor looks ok

  • @TheGreatWhiteTimmy well, ford did the best. so you can fuck yourself.

  • @bobbybob3680 i just said it's not appealing to me. Calm down fanboy

  • @TheGreatWhiteTimmy Any truck that is maroon and beige is ugly lol. Throw some nice wheels and tires on the F150 and they look pretty sick. And dont mind Timmy, he didn't take his meds today

  • Hang on, did the G80 not engage on the GM turcks?

  • All that is needed are skills..no need for any system.

  • if 4x4 is there it would be stupid not to use it

  • @99cumminskid yeah but doesnt it use more gas?

  • if you cand DODGE it.....RAM it!!!! ha ha ha ha 

  • if i know i was driving up somthing that i need 4wd, i would have engaged 4wd, not try to make it up in 2wd and a open rear diff. lol i sure wouldn't nail the gas to see if i can make it up unless i had no option or no 4wd..

  • Thats why you use 2nd gear in Fords to make it up steep grades that are slippery, way too much power for first gear on slick conditions. 2nd gear 2wd and 4 wd the fords would just climb with very little spin..

  • @iMpushyyy Tire's and traction tread are very important to how a vehicle will cope on this test.

  • A real pickup truck does not have four doors, it has two. At least in my opinion

  • YAY! Ford

  • and i drive a Sierra -_-

  • @ cb7pwn and iMPushyyy: Ya, ya, ya.... You guys are just another two jack-ass keyboard jockies....

    If there isn't a true test unless "All" the variables are taken out. You watch the video, and what do they show you? They show you one tire zipping around and the other doing zip. Yes, the traction control / limited slip aspect is the a main factor, but you also have to take into account the ability of the tire to aid the vehicle to make it up the grade..... Think before you speak.....

  • والمواطير الكبار لعن ابوه سويد طلع ولاتفحيطه هههههههههههههههههههههههههههههه­هه

  • this is probably the fairest test done on gm proving grounds so far...

  • sorry, was !!!

  • U Can Tell Who Was Payed Off In This Vid.......

  • Ford is the best of all!!!

  • An Audi with the quattro can do that better than them!!

  • @Ap0caLyPSe972 But can you haul a refridgerator home in your Audi?

  • @Jackle61 hum... Some peoples are paid for that :)

  • wtf is a nissan Titan?

  • as for the Titan

    if you got an electric locker why the fuck would you not use it of course it did the worst it actually had the best diff for that situation and these dumbasses didn't use it.

  • If people want to race into a 8 feet tall snow then a great way to choose is tundra, and ford truck to, but im not sure about ford engine will work if is in the negative degree, but i know that tundra that is below negative degree, the car still run great and the engine want sound funny when u took off, because Minnesota came a big snow once and the most that i see truck is tundra.

  • @koreanmove13 grammar nazis gonna rage at your spelling, i barely understand you :P

  • FORD all the way!

  • Nissan esla mejor de todas las camionetas

  • aren't trucks supposed to be used in 4 wheel drive when needed ?

  • I'd take the Toyota Tundra any day.

  • BUY NISSAN TERRANO!!! =))

  • dodge trucks suck unless it has a cummins

  • Did all the trucks have the same "Tires" on them? If not, the test is worthless..... PERIOD!

  • @hugo121175 i think if all the tires are stock, from all the companies, its fair game.

  • @kowal789 What they need is the same Brand and Model tire on each truck to be the same. If the tires are different , then the test is BS. Each tire has different ratings for different types of conditions.... Put a cheese ball tire on each truck and see what results you get from the test....

  • @hugo121175 i agree 100%, but i am saying that its also a good test to show what company gives the best stock tire for those conditions, lol.

  • @hugo121175 hahahah tires? are you kidding me? as you can see, or clearly you cant, the point of this test is to show that trucks have "open" differentials... kinda pointless having "better tires" when one of the wheels isnt getting any power what so ever lol

  • @cb7pwn its okay hugo doesnt know shit about cars or trucks

  • @cb7pwn he didnt say anything about better tires jackass... if its a traction test they all should have the same tires..

  • @darkeyce02 hey, jackass, re-read my comment, open differential means 1 wheel is getting NO POWER, no power means it wont turn at all, wtf are better tires going to do if there is no power going to that wheel at all.. you fucking idiot

  • @cb7pwn i did, he mentioned nothing about better tires, your a idiot... you need to re-read your own comment

  • @cb7pwn limited slip diffs are not "open" neither is auto locking

  • @cb7pwn hahaha........If you put winter tires (or even studded if it helps you visualize) on one and normal tires on the other it would obviously make a huge difference. Are you kidding me! That's a fun fact from when I was like five.................I can't believe people sometimes........

  • @cb7pwn

    these trucks would benefit from better tires because one tire is slipping on the slippery surface, if the slipping tires were all the same then or even a better tire, it could have better grip. So, hugo is correct, tires play a big factor in this test.

  • @Red04MonteLS look, clearly your dont drive a truck.... if you have an open differential on slippery surface, meaning only ONE WHEEL is getting power, you arnt going anywhere regardless of what kind of rubber you have

  • @cb7pwn

    if you have a tire that's designed to grip on that surface, you will be fine because all the power will be going to that tire made for that terrain or surface, just because all the power goes to one wheel doesn't mean you have to be flooring it -.-

  • @Red04MonteLS you could have 4x4, studded tires/ snow chains, whatever, and STILL be stuck on a snowy road, even if the road was FLAT

  • @cb7pwn

    there's a million 'coulds' in any situation, that doesn't mean that better tires wouldn't have helped in the situation in this video. you 'could' have all the you mentioned and go nowhere, or you could move through the snow with ease. So what you're saying is having all those things is just like have a standard highway tread tire in the snow? I don't think so.

  • @cb7pwn I agree, although the Nissan would have done the best with the selectable locker, the Dodge was also in 4 wheel drive, check out the water being thrown from the front wheels, 99% of the people here just don't get it, you are the 1%,lol

  • @ziggystar1979 They never said it wasn't, in fact they said "The Dodge Ram 1500 also required the use of 4 high to get off of the slippery tile"

  • @hugo121175 yea your a fucking moron, the video title isnt "tire" testing...MORON

  • @hugo121175 you clearly dont know anything about trucks

  • @0602720noeflores What? Are you some 15 year old kid that his parents don't know he's on the internet after bed-time?

    What is the main reason for lose of traction? It starts with tires. Get two vehicles (Same Make, Model, Year, and Package), and then put street slicks on one and rock crawling tires on the other, and run this test. At the end it would have the Best & Worst Traction Control of any vehicle in it's class.

    Remove the variables for a true test.....

  • @hugo121175 well if they are just doing the base models then it is completely fair. you would have to modify to do all the same tires

  • @hugo121175

    Complain to the dealers then... It's not supposed to be fair, it's a battle of stock trucks. What are you going to complain about next, weight, horsepower, weight of the driver?

    Suck it up.

  • @hugo121175 They have the tires that the manufacturer chose for them if they are bad tires than that means the manufacturer was cutting corners and that means there were other things they cut corners at = bad truck ...

  • chevy still is beast

  • asians cant make trucks

  • @Storm7289 you're right the Americans do. in San Antonio. not Mexico and Canada like the big three.

  • @possiblymeish not entirely true, some of the big three use plants there but its not solely outsourced

  • the dumb asses think they have to stop to engage 4 wheel drive, morons never heard of shift on the fly.

  • why am i watching this? oh yea im high

  • my uncle owns a tundra. its awesome

  • Is there a contest where Ford doesn't win?

  • @peralez2383 lol seriously

  • GMC and CHEVY all the motherfuckin waaaaaaaaay!

  • if they were testing lorries, why they didn't test VW Crafter, Mercedes Sprinter, Peugeot Boxer or Fiat Ducato?

  • @PlottingMax because all of those arent available in the US.

  • EXTREEEEME!

  • Last i checked, tundras have an open diff, and this crap called AUTO LSD...which all it is is just glorified traction control ...It doesn't actually have any sort of mechanical limited slip diff. Damn shame IMHO

  • Love the F150 - if you need to download a workshop manual check our our channel

  • now thats offending, the GMC sierra is known to be the best pickup truck in the arab world and its been proven, im a 14 year old and i tried my brothers sierra and his friends ford f150, i found out that the only pickup that can kick the silverado and sierras ass is the raptor, not the titan, not the tndra, not the ram, not the stock f150, its the raptor, ive tried on road, desert, and rock, nothing beats the 2 monsters :)

  • my question is, did they all have the same size, and brand of tires, as well as the same tire pressure?

  • where is the l200

  • It's one thing to come up with a way to simulate slick surfaces, it's quite another to impose arbitrary rules (i.e. no 4 wheel drive) to come up with an pointless result. Further. as can be seen in the video, the early passes got the "dry" asphalt wet, invalidating further comparisons. Testing design, control, and execution fail.

  • @ledbetterbrothers If you haven't noticed, they're not into testing pickup trucks.

  • I want to see the guys at Top Gear BBC do test challenges with these trucks.

  • @CrashJSTest + ford

  • @VISM24 In America they are! But in the real world?????...

  • Bow this was a real test it's way better than that chevy hosted shit
