yes because when I load up my truck I always wonder......how fast will it run a 1/4 mile

[cscow7]

who needs to beat the kid in the honda when you can run him over?

[panamera]

thought its motortrend for a second. they always do stupid shit like this.

[trx420fm1]

man these people doing these test are stupid

[jamuz355]

Put the new 5.0 or 6.2 in the F-150 and that thing would be GONE

[NIGHTRIDER995]

im sorry but i call bullshit on this test...i pull 10,000 pounds in my 03' 2wd 1500 4 door and when you mash on her she goes way faster then that dodge u showed on tape.....its fake as shit and eveyone knows they would rather have dodge,ford,chevy over them two other shitty trucks

Who buys a 1/2 ton to pull a trailer?

[Storm7289]

idk who buys a truck purely for how fast it runs a 1/4 mile unless its like a lightning or srt10

[MrMdr96]

i hav pulled many bumper pull and goosenecks in my half ton and never push the gas 2 the floor wen loaded and know its stupid but i gota admit this is fun 2 watch

[Brutus984]

@MDizzel16 maybe when u actually own a truck and u got half a ton in the bed and another three tons in the trailer u will realize how important acceleration is.

[M34nPuppyDog]

these are fun to watch bc it shows the + and - of the trucks

How stupid is this test? If you're driving with that kind of vehicle, you're not concerned with power. If you are towing a trailer it's even worse. This thing would have only 120 HP it would make no difference as long as it's capable to tow that trailer you really need.

BTW speeding up with a trailer is a very bad idea.
