Everyone knows it.. this test needs to be performed by a random person. Not by Chevy, Ford, or Dodge. Why would any of them make their own truck look bad..? I bet if all 3 did the same tests, each one would say a different truck is better..
I'd still rather have the ford. People seem to get so upset with other people's choices. If you like chevy, buy chevy. Don't criticize other people for having a different opinion
@NMSchultz1 mike rowe is just a supporter. He gets paid by ford to support ford. Nobody will know his TRUE opinions. Why does Chevy not do that? because they dont need to. because thier products do not to be supported with famous people. mike is a guy who gets paid ALOT to say those things. so does amazing race. GM doesnt do that, and they STILL outsell ford. Thier products are truer and do not need famous people to influence poeple.
@JDYDesigns i can argue with u but theres no point any more besides we need to support the top 3 other then letting companies like toyota and nissan sneek in
You'd think the Chevy would lose maybe a little bit more traction as well.. He mentioned getting them both in a ditch ... you'd get an extra inch of traction in a Ford than in a Chevy, and to me that seems like the Ford might also be able to get out of it easier? Could really depend on the situation too.
@xterrasesc i cant believe how many stupid people there are like u. how are u gunna say a straight axel isnt sronger than control arms ?? then how come they use them on amulances? firetruck? gargage truck? tow truck, most plow trucks, go ahead look underaaannny bigger truck and i bet u see a straight axel. go ahead tell me (you dont know what ur talking about)
@MrLj410 What are u talking about. i never said anything about axles u boob. I said that you are uneducated because u think newer Gm trucks are the most reliable. now you're just rambling about nothing. God stop commenting when ur high.
there is no (best truck) (best brand) this test means nothing at all. first off
a truck with a straight front axel,will last longer than a truck with control arms. ford and dodge truck use stright axels, if i would pick a truck to work with everyday off road. it would be a 3500 dodge 6speed cummins,.... good motor, ok on gas, there clutches are strong, diffes are strong, and they have solid front axels.
il stick with my ford, but i guess if i was going to crash into a ditch id wanna b in a chevy, you know just so i dont fuck up my f150. I saw a silverado on the side of the road that had swerved off into the ditch and it was as twisted as a krazy straw.
@cadrolls i understand that they paid it back but its the fact that it happened that really made me lose trust and respect in them..and when i found out about the whole Isuzu engine thing, that didnt really settle with me very well..i try to buy the most American product on the market (and yes i know there are a lot of things on the F-series that are foreign) but to me, Ford wins in that category
@stuntman229 I am assuming that by that statement that you give equal time complaining about the fact that German car makers used slave labor from the concentration camps to stay afloat during world war two? People of all ages, sexes, and religions were forced to drink from toilets at B.M.W.'s Hanover factory. A 3 year old girl was raped so many times that her uterus was torn out.
That is better than a loan that has already been paid back and that allowed MASSIVE profits toward success?
@cadrolls what does BMW have to do with anything? we're talking about American trucks, not German cars..i dont drive BMW's or any foreign cars for that matter so that doesn't apply to me..and Ford improved its vehicles dramatically without a bailout so i will continue to buy their products
@stuntman229 Last year was the most profitable one in General Motors' history. It has paid back the loan MONTHS ago. Most people are not mad at General Motors. Most are upset with the banks that caused the problem in the first place.
what is the big deal it means the chevy will ride like a log wagon but a ford will ride better anyway what does that prove? how many people will be driving it that way? i have a 02 f150 drove hard 228,000 miles and still going strong the one company i worked for i drove a 2008 chevy van 24,000 miles rear end hade to be rebuilt also company i work for now 2009 chevy 2500 pickup 28,000 miles and rear end acting up in it just like the 08 chevy junk
@MrSilverballmania chevy rear ends are shit. idk y. ive worked in a friends garage and over the past 2 years ive replaced probably 12 newer rear ends... or the tranny slips...or the leaf springs snap...oh and one came in with the drive shaft snapped in half, not at the ends, in the middle... like wtf people
@Ieatpeople2 Wrong observation, the basketball + nitrogen example represent a change at a molecular level which causes it to get brittle.

@Ieatpeople2 Your analogy works well for liquid nitrogen BUT, doesn't work the same way with steel frames as the Chevrolet frame WILL bend ultimately BUT, not a soon as the frame on the Ford.
@Ieatpeople2 TRUE STATEMENT LIKE A PRO chevy makes very SOLID beds and rear end STRUCTURES meanwhile Ford make Durable Truck Bed Ford beds are known to hit the cab but i rather have a hit cab vs broken parts and bits and peices.
Having had Fords, GM's and Dodges...I'd like to see Ford,GM, and Dodge come together and an super truck...Our GM's always had fueling and transmission issues, the Ford didn't handle as well as the GM's and the Dodge had a spine shattering ride...granted each were from different years and I know things have changed greatly since then but the fact still remains...each company has different points of superiority at different times...just depends on what you need when you're in the market.
Will someone put either a Ford or Chev on its' side and have a Smart car impact the roof at 30 mph? A strong frame does not mean safety. Safety above the frame is important too. Then, do a 30 ft. water immersion test. Neither Ford nor Chevy have onboard emergency scuba gear. If you read the Bible before you design a truck, this wouldn't happen.
@ilikechevy2 Must have been up all night formulating your sentence? There was no frame strength test shown here. They are all working together to make massive amts. of money from idiots. Watch the Top Gear test of the Marauder. Jesus, maybe Top Gear cares about you, me, and the restoration of Abrams tanks.
@ilikechevy2 No one has top comment. It is merely casual comments being thrown around. In a few yrs. I'm certain we'll all be driving Chevys on the surface of the Sun.
Chev is the best, Ford is bad; until Ford makes a frame that can hold 10 000 tonnes without distortion on 3 wheels, then the galaxy will collapse, and retarded YouTube vids will cease to exist. Then what will I do to amuse myself ? What about bulletproof sanitary napkins ? Sesame Street confused me I'll admit.
@ilikechevy2 Is it tangential thinking? Really no one gives a damn. Top comments are under the video. So technically speaking, they are bottom comments. If someone has something to say, by all means say it. No need to get personal. Keep in mind that I am not a trained Ninja, and can't adequately defend myself from harmful comments. Babbling is the key. Trucks and 'tough truck' talk have replaced the mobiles over a babys' crib. END OF DISCUSSION !
@seapeddler oko whatever, the comments at the top wich are labeled "top comments" arent top comments, your right. And im not gonna sit here and argue with someone who sounds like there 12 so goodbye
@Cummins51691 lol are you kidding me??? That Ford Ecoboost is a gutless piece of crap that can barely pull its own weight. I could pull it down the road with my 4.3L GMC Sierra. Chevy has everything over Ford. Reliability, Quality, Customer Satisfaction, and much more. With my Chevy's i dont have to put of quart of oil in the engine every time i fill up the gas tank like most Fords do.
@siani69 hahahaha thats funny all the chevy owners ive raced there excuse is your truck is twin turbo lol after i smoke them , i just gott a 2011 ecoboost 4x4 about and i love it the only chevy ive lost too has been a 5.3 single cab on a 75 shot of nitrous, i dont got any over chevy i just like to keep a rivalry going but i prefer fords, and i wanna race your 4.3l that must be a factory freak, and also my fords dont use oil and also dont sound like a sewing machines lol
This is a fucken chevy sponsored video that's why chevy is going to win. They wouldn't show the vid if ford won, they just want to sell more trucks to compete with ford.
All trucks should have a fully boxed frame. Up until recently, all makes of trucks had the same lousy open "C" type frame. This is a throwback to the 1920s or earlier , Not only should all frames be boxed but a cantilever section extending down toward the ground should be employed, some 12" or so. Current frames are nearly a two-dimensional structure, the cantilever section would extend the design towards a three dimensional structure.
thats weird, i drove my ford into a huge ditch.. slid off an ice with the passenger side tire off the ground and driver side tire just grazing the top of the wheel well and this didnt happen to me?
This test is like a kidergarden type of test "oh my truck is better than your truck!" ohh cmon guys... its NOT like you gonna run into a ditch everyday unless you live in the mountains or something... if people would buy chevy after watching this .. WOW bravo to the chevy marketing team!!!!
@J4mes4ndrew actually these kinds of tests apply to more people than you would think... I work out of my truck all the time and i am always running into situations similiar to this... And I personally dont think they did anything to the ford because i have had 3 chevys and 2 fords, and i can say that from experience, ive had simialiar results lol
something tells me they've done this test before on that same ford that's why the guy didn't look very surprised when the lift gate dented. so the frame was probably bent already before the test started
Remember that this is all sponsored by chevy, of course it will win, and big woop the bed moves, ford is still built stronger, if you crashed that chevy in the ditch it would snap like a twig, the ford would flex a little and be fine, Piss off chevy
@deathstar445 U mad bro???? Cuz i think your comment here just contradicted what the video showed. No they didnt rig the trucks or the video. Now if you want you can tell yourself that they did rig them to make you feel better. What ever helps you sleep at night. lol. The problem with Ford is that there suspension is outdated, no offence. They need to catch up with Dodge's and Chevy's suspension and frame technology.
They did update it, in the new ford raptor, i am not against chevy, i like them, its dodges that have proven to suck, at least in my expiriences. But a perfect truck would be a ford with a chevy cover.
I was just watching this video of an older superduty with the thinner frame material going off road, the frame did not flex nearly as much as this one. This video is bs. type in F350 doin it big ...Pause the video at around 1:14 or so, the guy goes through a big rut, the front left tire drops in an open spot teetering the truck on the back left and front right tire picking up the back right side of the bed...It flexes, but not NEARLY as much as this.
MY TRUCK MOR BETTER THEN UR TRUCK! I GOTSA 4 WHEAL DRIVE WIT DA BIG V8!!!! I DRIVE IT IN DA MUD AND SHIT. DAT TRUCK WONT MAKE IT WEAR MY TRUCK GOES. I GOT DA 4 INCH LIFT WIFF BIG MUD TYRES AND A BULL GRILL WIT A WINCH!!! MY BIG TRUCK MAKES UP FOR MY SMALL PENIS AND MY SMALL BRAIN. AMERICA!!!!!!
~What you actually sound like when arguing about a YouTube video featuring a comparison between two pickup trucks.
-_________- chevy, you lie! Ford makes better trucks and I promise you that was rigged. F series trucks do have fully boxed high strength steel frames. The truth is, all of those trucks could pass that test.
@will11806, just the ford f150 has a boxed frame, f250 and up has open C channel. I personally think you need a little flex in your frame. The amount showed in this video I believe is excessive, I do not believe they flex that much. But they do flex more than chevys. Theres too much flex and too little flex, i think gm has too little. When something comes along that will make that stiff as frame move it will just bend instead of flex. If boxed was the way to go, big rigs would have boxed frames.
I have a 2007 gmc crew cab going on 111k miles, the truck drives like it did when I drove it off the lot. Everything is still tight and there is zero issues with it. I also put a drivetrain from a 05 Tahoe in my 93 1500, easiest swap to do, and it is dependable. Try doing that with a ford.
@skeeter5283 Nice. I got an 2007 GMC Sierra work truck 4.3L V6 and it has 26,000 miles on it and i know that isnt much but it still runs perfectly, even though it should anyway. lol. I just thought i would say that before people tell me thats why it runs good because it only has 26,000 miles. But i also have a 2002 Monte Carlo with 114,200 miles and it runs like brand new still.
@yoinfochannell lol what they do to bag on other car company's smh.lol theres arent offroading trucks anyway so wtf. if you wanna go on angles like this then get a damn jeep.
@cganucheau1 Wo dilwead, im sorry to offend you but who is selling more? And even if it fucks the truck up, i dont have to pay shit to get it fix, my pops owns a ford dealer ship sellling cars the GOVERNMENT didnt have to save, that means not enough people like chevy to care. Besides, the fenders on the chevy is gay as fuck, why do you need 15in wheels with a fender 7 ft high?
@yoinfochannell dilwead? You do realize when they say the best selling truck on the market they say F-series which includes F150-F650.... And anyone can talk on youtube saying their dad owns a dealership. Also in saying that you are saying that you don't care if your truck is cheap an crappy because daddy will fix it for you. Oh an how long ago did the government bail GM out? Old news. Your acting like they are the first company to accept help. Please read your last sentence (begins with besides
@yoinfochannell That just goes to show everyone that reads this how much of a moron you are. Besides the 3500 doesn't come with 15" wheels an the fender is no where near 7ft tall.
you know, i am a chevy guy but i don't trust this advertisment at all. i'd rather have all three companies equally come together through an independant source to do the testing all using base models then moveing up from there.
why do the guys who are supposed to be a testing company of vehicles seem to be doing a lot of advertising for the Chevy frame? who happen to be sponsored to gm, primarily chevy...
what everyone must know before watching this video!!! who is an associated partner to motor trend? what? GM? and why would motor trend want to make the competition of the Chevy look bad? people that think this is real are idiots, do you really think that ford would even sell a truck that can supposedly pull tens of thousands of pounds when it can't even support it's own weight? god damn this makes me angry
@philboul101 U mad bro????? Obviously mad enough to double post. lol. You keep believing that buddy, whatever helps you sleep at night. Built Ford Tough, more like Built Ford Shit! lol.
And btw, if I were to buy a truck, I would purchase one with a real V8 engine, rather than a pussy 3.5L V6. My '97 Chevy blazer has a bigger engine than that crap. Buy a real truck and go with Chevy and you will be happy for the next two decades and that's a guarantee.
@zacheryds well many of us know you're an idiot because you can't even spell "OFF roading" correctly. I'd take these tests over ford's idiotic testing anyday. fuck fuel efficiency. trucks are meant to be dependable and long-lasting, which is Chevy's motto. And as we all know, Chevy actually has evidence on the road, still running like champs today. ford has no proof of anything and your fuel tanks are falling off because they were cheap. And don't even use the bail-out as an excuse.
@cardinal015 You are my hero bro. lol. I couldnt have said it better myself. Im tired of Ford lovers using the bailout as a insult, its all they have over GM. But not anymore because GM paid back all the bailout money PLUS interest. Ford had to be secretly bailed out in 2006, thats something Ford doesnt tell you Ford lovers. If you Ford lovers havnt noticed yet, Ford lies in alot of there advertising. Cardinal thank you for posting that and those last couple sentences werent directed at you. lol
First off, American's hard earned tax money payed for the strength that sits in the Chevy, or lack there of (because Chevrolet took the government bailout money, FORD DIDN'T). Second, this test was performed by Chevy therefor it is false and completely biased..
They put more weight in or under those bags in the bed of the ford to rig this video i agree with flip5453 what dumb sack of shit would drive there brand new ford into ditch
The Ford twists like that because its BETTER for towing. The old chevy chassis from the C/K series 88-2000 were FAR superior for towing because they had a C channel frame. You dont want rigidity when youre towing super high loads, and any engineer knows that!
@RST1497 Legally, GM can't modify the trucks in anyway, If they say 3,000 lbs, then it has to be 3,000 lbs. If they violate these two, they can be sued. With that said, GM didn't say anything about how the weight was distributed in the bed of the Ford and Chevy. Technically, they can get away with unequal distribution of weight.
@taitai907@taitai907 True, they probably put like 2500 on one side and like 500 on the other. and on the chevy they put almost all of the weight on the side thats still on the ramp. Notice how all the weight is in really vague looking bags in the bed!
while driving down the freeway sometimes I think my bed on my f-250 is going to break my rear window with all the frame flex, my F-250 4x4 is the biggest mistake I ever bought.
Such a Bias Test! Funny I've gotten my F350 in serious articulated situations with only 2 Wheels on dirt and no problems. Yes Frame twists but that's what it was designed to do.
Ya, Dodge is good, but so is everything else. Take care of your vehicle, and respect the regular sceduled preventative maintenance, and you should last.......oh ya.....a human built it, and if not a robot built it, that was built by a human.....reality stings a bit. If you love your truck, then make the world believe it is the god fucking Jesus of trucks, why not? so many people just want to compete. It's a man made product for fuck sake
It's all about personal opinion, get what you want and leave it at that. Oh ya I have a 1985 Ford F-150 with 311,000 miles on it. Also, I don't ever remember driving my truck like this. You're an idiot, dip shit. Chevy rocks, Ford rocks, Dodge rocks, Nissan rocks, Toyota rocks, learn how to take care of your truck and it will last. This video is for a sucker
No car maker cares about honesty. They costomize their trucks to make the other standard stock trucks look bad. I bet they made that ford truck a lot weaker because I been in places with my ford that were worst then that and have never had a problem with it. Ford, Chevy, Dodge and GMC all do it just so they can get you to buy there cars.
I personally am a Ford dude, modern Chevy just sucks a big one. But right when I saw that this was a Chevy video, I knew how it would end. chevy doesn't care about honesty. It's about profit. Not saying Ford is any more honest, but I like their cars more. Especially after Chevy embarrassed the Camaro name.
anyone else notice how much farther they pulled the ford up then they did the chevy? fucking hate videos like this. every company does the same bullshit.
has anyone else almost get there fingers broken from off roading in the back of a pickup while holding on where the bed meets the cab? haha

freeze a basketball in liquid nitrogen, and bounce it. it will break. take an unfrozen basketball, and you can bounce it forever, and it wont break.
stiffness/rigidity is good up to a certain point, but it will break if it cannot absorb the torsional load.
i have a '10 silverado, and the frame is super stiff. but, judging from this test, the ford can handle more stress than the chevy without breaking.

Will someone put either a Ford or Chev on its' side and have a Smart car impact the roof at 30 mph? A strong frame does not mean safety. Safety above the frame is important too. Then, do a 30 ft. water immersion test. Neither Ford nor Chevy have onboard emergency scuba gear. If you read the Bible before you design a truck, this wouldn't happen.

@ilikechevy2 No one has top comment. It is merely casual comments being thrown around. In a few yrs. I'm certain we'll all be driving Chevys on the surface of the Sun.
Chev is the best, Ford is bad; until Ford makes a frame that can hold 10 000 tonnes without distortion on 3 wheels, then the galaxy will collapse, and retarded YouTube vids will cease to exist. Then what will I do to amuse myself ? What about bulletproof sanitary napkins ? Sesame Street confused me I'll admit.

@ilikechevy2 Is it tangential thinking? Really no one gives a damn. Top comments are under the video. So technically speaking, they are bottom comments. If someone has something to say, by all means say it. No need to get personal. Keep in mind that I am not a trained Ninja, and can't adequately defend myself from harmful comments.

All trucks should have a fully boxed frame. Up until recently, all makes of trucks had the same lousy open "C" type frame. This is a throwback to the 1920s or earlier , Not only should all frames be boxed but a cantilever section extending down toward the ground should be employed, some 12" or so. Current frames are nearly a two-dimensional structure, the cantilever section would extend the design towards a three dimensional structure.

I was just watching this video of an older superduty with the thinner frame material going off road, the frame did not flex nearly as much as this one. This video is bs. type in F350 doin it big ...Pause the video at around 1:14 or so, the guy goes through a big rut, the front left tire drops in an open spot teetering the truck on the back left and front right tire picking up the back right side of the bed...It flexes, but not NEARLY as much as this.

will11806 2 weeks ago
@will11806, just the ford f150 has a boxed frame, f250 and up has open C channel. I personally think you need a little flex in your frame. The amount showed in this video I believe is excessive, I do not believe they flex that much. But they do flex more than chevys. Theres too much flex and too little flex, i think gm has too little. When something comes along that will make that stiff as frame move it will just bend instead of flex. If boxed was the way to go, big rigs would have boxed frames.

And as we all know, Chevy actually has evidence on the road, still running like champs today. ford has no proof of anything and your fuel tanks are falling off because they were cheap. And don't even use the bail-out as an excuse.

@RST1497 Legally, GM can't modify the trucks in anyway, If they say 3,000 lbs, then it has to be 3,000 lbs. If they violate these two, they can be sued. With that said, GM didn't say anything about how the weight was distributed in the bed of the Ford and Chevy. Technically, they can get away with unequal distribution of weight.

@taitai907 @taitai907 True, they probably put like 2500 on one side and like 500 on the other. and on the chevy they put almost all of the weight on the side thats still on the ramp. Notice how all the weight is in really vague looking bags in the bed!
