Just playing the devil's advocate here but, he didn't tell us what those 2 bolts are made from. The smaller Toyota bolt could be made from some really string metal and the Ford could be made out of some cheap metal thats not really strong which is why they need such a big bolt. I'm just saying, the size factor here isn't the end all of this story. I would like to know what each bolt is made from.

@TheTom2301 I've worked on a few fords and I can tell you that most of the suspension especially in the front on a ford truck is aluminum... Plus Toyota is a company that WILL NOT waste thief time and effort in a bolt... Especially when that bolt was a design that worked 20 years ago... If u want to compare trucks, look at engines, milage, transmissions, ect... Not bolts

BULLSHITTT that doesn't mean anything see which one lasts longer or wears out parts faster i bet you it wont be the toyota

@wackyworldvideos34 If Toyota/Nissan frames were a joke, then why are they the only trucks sold world wide and everything else only sold in north america? trust me go to europe or africa. u will never see f150's silverados or rams there they all have toyota hilux and nissan nivara pickups. then again people in europe dont load 5 300 pound bodies and 2kg of materials like these people do.

@BRIGGSandSTRATTONguy aluminum suspension is strong enough but lighter, which gives better handling, and maybe does some extremely minor part in fuel economy. agreement on looking at engines/transmissions, would suggest looking at frames,too, everything in truck rides on them in the end, rams arent too bad, fords are the best, and the rest of the competitions a joke, especially nissan/toyota, but chevs too, and chev is poorest in having framing around engine/fenders at none at all.

its funny how these morons get on here and say the bolt size doesnt matter and the fords bolt is probably weaker anyway. watch the 2nd video you fools

@Mr1963chevy go watch the second half of this video......

[slingblade1991]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE...stop saying "bolt size doesn't matter,tensile strength,yadayada" and watch the second half of this video..ford bolt withstands almost 2x the torque.

[slingblade1991]

@jason91078 you know theres a second half to this video where they test the strength...the ford bolt withstands 390 ftlbs of torque and toyota does 219......
