1
00:00:01,131 --> 00:00:02,639
Now on Top Gear...
2
00:00:04,517 --> 00:00:07,568
It's all about America's
strongest vehicles...
3
00:00:08,986 --> 00:00:12,138
Tanner takes a new off
road and deep into the swamp
4
00:00:12,244 --> 00:00:13,670
to race an *.
5
00:00:14,585 --> 00:00:16,838
Races around our track.
6
00:00:19,383 --> 00:00:23,728
And we find over which is the
toughest heavy duty truck in America.
7
00:00:38,089 --> 00:00:41,281
Sync by n17t01
www.addic7ed.com
8
00:00:50,853 --> 00:00:52,186
Trucks.
9
00:00:52,221 --> 00:00:54,489
They make up more than
half the vehicle sales
10
00:00:54,523 --> 00:00:55,523
for the U.S.,
11
00:00:55,557 --> 00:00:56,624
but which one is king?
12
00:00:56,658 --> 00:00:58,926
We each chose what we thought was
13
00:00:58,961 --> 00:01:00,962
the biggest, baddest truck in the country
14
00:01:00,996 --> 00:01:03,064
and took them into the
desert for a showdown.
15
00:01:03,098 --> 00:01:06,868
Adam chose the ram 3500.
16
00:01:06,902 --> 00:01:09,937
Tanner chose the Ford F-450.
17
00:01:11,106 --> 00:01:15,343
And I brought the Chevy HD3500.
18
00:01:15,377 --> 00:01:17,211
You know what vehicle
the secret service chose
19
00:01:17,246 --> 00:01:18,813
to underpin the new presidential limo,
20
00:01:18,847 --> 00:01:21,315
nicknamed "the beast"?
21
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:23,384
Oh, it may look like a
Cadillac on the outside,
22
00:01:23,418 --> 00:01:25,219
but underneath, it's all Chevy truck,
23
00:01:25,254 --> 00:01:27,121
as if you needed any more convincing
24
00:01:27,156 --> 00:01:29,123
that this is the best heavy-duty truck.
25
00:01:36,832 --> 00:01:40,001
Oh, gentlemen, you've
finally been outgunned.
26
00:01:40,035 --> 00:01:41,936
For once, I landed the king of the hill
27
00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:44,305
in one of these challenges. Please. That?
28
00:01:44,339 --> 00:01:45,773
Yeah. How do you figure?
29
00:01:45,807 --> 00:01:47,808
You know that this is the truck that,
30
00:01:47,843 --> 00:01:50,811
first of all, outsells both
of these almost two to one.
31
00:01:50,846 --> 00:01:53,047
Justin Bieber can pack a
full house at a concert.
32
00:01:53,081 --> 00:01:54,448
That doesn't mean I'm going.
33
00:01:54,483 --> 00:01:56,217
Okay, that's right.
You're right. You're right.
34
00:01:56,251 --> 00:01:57,585
It's all really about the numbers...
35
00:01:57,619 --> 00:01:59,420
24,400 pounds.
36
00:01:59,454 --> 00:02:02,490
When are you gonna need to
tow 24,000... I tow my trailer.
37
00:02:02,524 --> 00:02:03,891
When do you tow anything?
38
00:02:03,926 --> 00:02:05,826
Two race cars in a big-ass trailer.
39
00:02:05,861 --> 00:02:07,495
You don't tow that! You fly.
40
00:02:07,529 --> 00:02:09,597
You get in the car, you
drive, and you fly home.
41
00:02:09,631 --> 00:02:12,667
There's somebody towing that,
and I had to get the truck.
42
00:02:12,701 --> 00:02:14,435
What can the dodge do?
43
00:02:14,469 --> 00:02:16,637
It's not even a dodge anymore. It's a ram.
44
00:02:16,672 --> 00:02:18,706
You mean dodge was so embarrassed by it,
45
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:21,042
they were like, "we can't
even put our own name on it"?
46
00:02:21,076 --> 00:02:23,044
Dodge was embarrassed by a tough truck? No.
47
00:02:23,078 --> 00:02:25,179
This truck was so tough,
it was asked to leave.
48
00:02:25,214 --> 00:02:26,347
They told this truck,
49
00:02:26,381 --> 00:02:28,382
"excuse me... You're frightening minivans."
50
00:02:28,417 --> 00:02:30,618
"All the caravans are crying.
You're gonna have to go."
51
00:02:30,652 --> 00:02:33,621
Guys, you clearly didn't notice
that I brought the Chevy HD.
52
00:02:33,655 --> 00:02:35,723
I mean, that's the coolest one.
53
00:02:35,757 --> 00:02:37,058
You think?
54
00:02:37,092 --> 00:02:38,159
It's like an Escalade in there.
55
00:02:38,193 --> 00:02:39,160
Do you have air-conditioned seats?
56
00:02:39,194 --> 00:02:40,328
Yes.
57
00:02:40,362 --> 00:02:42,063
You know why? 'Cause you have ass sweat.
58
00:02:42,097 --> 00:02:44,565
I'm hardworking. I'm out
there getting it done.
59
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,100
I might need air-conditioned seats.
60
00:02:46,134 --> 00:02:48,135
[Laughs] What are you getting done?
61
00:02:48,170 --> 00:02:50,238
The Chevy HD, out there getting it done.
62
00:02:50,272 --> 00:02:51,806
[Laughs]
63
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,174
Like 800 foot-pounds of torque.
64
00:02:53,208 --> 00:02:54,542
Anybody got anything over that?
65
00:02:54,576 --> 00:02:56,010
I've got 765. Hmm.
66
00:02:56,044 --> 00:02:58,379
But I'm telling you, that sucker's fast.
67
00:02:58,413 --> 00:02:59,680
The Ford is quick.
68
00:02:59,715 --> 00:03:01,582
Even with a trailer, it
pulls like a freight train.
69
00:03:01,617 --> 00:03:03,317
How fast is it? It's quick.
70
00:03:03,352 --> 00:03:05,953
I think we should find out
which truck is the quickest.
71
00:03:05,988 --> 00:03:07,088
Really?
72
00:03:07,122 --> 00:03:08,222
You thinking what I'm thinking?
73
00:03:08,257 --> 00:03:09,890
Drag race? Three wide.
74
00:03:09,925 --> 00:03:11,459
It is on. Let's go.
75
00:03:11,493 --> 00:03:13,594
It is on.
76
00:03:13,629 --> 00:03:16,264
Foust: My Ford had 400 horsepower.
77
00:03:16,298 --> 00:03:17,965
Rutledge's Chevy had 397,
78
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,067
so we were pretty evenly matched.
79
00:03:20,102 --> 00:03:21,802
Adam... Not so much.
80
00:03:21,837 --> 00:03:26,073
Okay, I have six cylinders. I'm gonna lose.
81
00:03:26,108 --> 00:03:27,074
I know I'm gonna lose.
82
00:03:27,109 --> 00:03:28,643
The only question is by how much.
83
00:03:28,677 --> 00:03:33,748
The key to any good
drag race is the launch.
84
00:03:33,782 --> 00:03:37,551
I'm gonna start in second gear
with a little bit of a burnout.
85
00:03:37,586 --> 00:03:39,186
Just gonna see how that goes.
86
00:03:39,221 --> 00:03:40,888
Okay, gentlemen, you ready?
87
00:03:40,922 --> 00:03:43,024
Tallyho. Ready.
88
00:03:43,058 --> 00:03:47,361
Okay. And we'll do it in 3...
89
00:03:47,396 --> 00:03:48,863
2...
90
00:03:48,897 --> 00:03:50,865
1...Go.
91
00:03:53,802 --> 00:03:55,536
Not the best start.
92
00:03:57,406 --> 00:03:59,807
Come on, baby. Go, go, go, go, go, go!
93
00:03:59,841 --> 00:04:01,876
Oh, yes!
94
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:02,977
No!
95
00:04:03,011 --> 00:04:04,078
Come on! Shift, shift, shift!
96
00:04:04,112 --> 00:04:05,479
Oh, my God.
97
00:04:05,514 --> 00:04:08,282
40, 50. Shift!
98
00:04:08,317 --> 00:04:09,817
Come on. 800 foot-pounds of torque.
99
00:04:09,851 --> 00:04:11,686
800 foot-pounds of torque.
100
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,421
Rocket ship!
101
00:04:13,455 --> 00:04:17,191
60, 65.
102
00:04:17,225 --> 00:04:18,826
Shift!
103
00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:21,996
Oh, it's so close! Come on, Chevy!
104
00:04:23,565 --> 00:04:25,232
Shift! Thank you.
105
00:04:25,267 --> 00:04:26,434
Oh, so soon?
106
00:04:26,468 --> 00:04:28,736
75, 80. I'm nosing it!
107
00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:32,473
Noooooooo!
108
00:04:32,507 --> 00:04:35,009
I beat the Ford!
109
00:04:35,043 --> 00:04:37,278
Yeah! That's like a rock, baby!
110
00:04:40,315 --> 00:04:43,551
Foust: I'm thinking the burnout
was a bad idea on my part
111
00:04:43,585 --> 00:04:45,986
because you beat me by like 4 inches.
112
00:04:46,021 --> 00:04:48,222
Are you... I had you at least a car length.
113
00:04:48,256 --> 00:04:50,091
It was probably less than...
114
00:04:50,125 --> 00:04:51,692
Hey, Adam, you're back. How you doing?
115
00:04:51,727 --> 00:04:54,528
Adam, did you go when Tanner counted?
116
00:04:54,563 --> 00:04:56,297
All right, all right.
117
00:04:56,331 --> 00:04:57,665
Tanner, it doesn't matter
118
00:04:57,699 --> 00:05:00,267
whether you win by an
inch or you win by a mile.
119
00:05:00,302 --> 00:05:02,036
Those are nascar words, aren't they?
120
00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:05,272
No. It was Vin Diesel in the
first "fast and the furious."
121
00:05:05,307 --> 00:05:06,707
Ruedge can keep his Chevy.
122
00:05:06,742 --> 00:05:08,909
For me, it's all about the Ford.
123
00:05:08,944 --> 00:05:12,480
Okay. I have had five super-duty trucks.
124
00:05:12,514 --> 00:05:14,148
I've had F-350s.
125
00:05:14,182 --> 00:05:18,219
I've had the earlier
version, two of the F-450s,
126
00:05:18,253 --> 00:05:21,188
and now I have a super-duty
350 with this motor.
127
00:05:21,223 --> 00:05:22,390
And I think the Ford super-duty
128
00:05:22,424 --> 00:05:24,825
can do just about everything well,
129
00:05:24,860 --> 00:05:28,062
and I think it's the best
workhorse money can buy.
130
00:05:31,299 --> 00:05:32,600
Thank you.
131
00:05:32,634 --> 00:05:34,301
No! You got to be kidding me!
132
00:05:34,336 --> 00:05:37,972
By an inch or a mile. And where were you?
133
00:05:38,006 --> 00:05:40,074
I was making sure you
guys were keeping it fair.
134
00:05:40,108 --> 00:05:41,342
I have six cylinders.
135
00:05:41,376 --> 00:05:43,744
You guys should have beat
me by a lot more than that.
136
00:05:43,779 --> 00:05:46,147
You kidding me? But it was like 3 inches.
137
00:05:46,181 --> 00:05:47,648
It's a long, sad story. You still lost.
138
00:05:47,682 --> 00:05:49,550
The point is, we went
like 80 miles an hour.
139
00:05:49,584 --> 00:05:52,052
That's like a horsepower test.
That's not even a torque test.
140
00:05:52,087 --> 00:05:53,554
Trucks are, like, about torque.
141
00:05:53,588 --> 00:05:55,122
Well, you have more horsepower
than me, so either way...
142
00:05:55,157 --> 00:05:56,690
Either way, you lost the test.
143
00:05:56,725 --> 00:05:58,192
No, it's heavy.
144
00:05:58,226 --> 00:05:59,794
It's 8,000-pound truck.
145
00:05:59,828 --> 00:06:02,396
It's way heavier than mine.
That's why. That's why I won.
146
00:06:02,431 --> 00:06:03,731
Yeah. So, what are you trying to say?
147
00:06:03,765 --> 00:06:05,900
I'm just saying that with
trucks, it's about torque,
148
00:06:05,934 --> 00:06:07,668
and for torque, it's the twisting power.
149
00:06:07,702 --> 00:06:11,005
It's like smoking tires,
burnout, pulling trailers.
150
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:14,108
So, what you're saying
in a roundabout way is
151
00:06:14,142 --> 00:06:15,676
you would like a burnout test?
152
00:06:15,710 --> 00:06:17,411
I think a burnout competition. Really?
153
00:06:17,446 --> 00:06:18,913
Because it's about torque.
154
00:06:18,947 --> 00:06:20,014
You want to run double 11s?
155
00:06:20,048 --> 00:06:21,282
Double 11s with the Duallys.
156
00:06:21,316 --> 00:06:22,983
Longest one wins? Yes.
157
00:06:23,018 --> 00:06:25,219
Your honor. I'm up?
158
00:06:25,253 --> 00:06:26,253
You're up. All right.
159
00:06:26,288 --> 00:06:27,521
This is gonna be a big fail.
160
00:06:27,556 --> 00:06:30,057
Wood: To find out which of our trucks
161
00:06:30,091 --> 00:06:32,626
could apply the most power to the ground,
162
00:06:32,661 --> 00:06:35,262
we conducted a very scientific test.
163
00:06:36,531 --> 00:06:38,065
You guys ready?
164
00:06:38,099 --> 00:06:39,667
Ferrara: You ready?
165
00:06:39,701 --> 00:06:40,768
Light 'em up!
166
00:06:40,802 --> 00:06:42,603
Left foot on the brake,
167
00:06:42,637 --> 00:06:45,606
and I'm just gonna mash the accelerator.
168
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,309
[Engine revs]
169
00:06:48,343 --> 00:06:49,777
What? Doesn't look good.
170
00:06:49,811 --> 00:06:51,312
What?
171
00:06:51,346 --> 00:06:53,247
Hold on one second! I
got to get it squared up!
172
00:06:53,281 --> 00:06:54,782
What is he saying? I don't know.
173
00:06:54,816 --> 00:06:56,784
Where's he going? I don't know.
174
00:06:56,818 --> 00:06:59,587
That didn't work, so plan "b."
175
00:06:59,621 --> 00:07:00,921
I find it hard to believe
176
00:07:00,956 --> 00:07:02,456
a truck with 760 foot-pounds of torque
177
00:07:02,491 --> 00:07:04,358
cannot spin the tires.
178
00:07:04,392 --> 00:07:07,027
I thought he would at
least break them loose.
179
00:07:07,062 --> 00:07:09,096
Your truck will break them loose, right?
180
00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:11,298
Yeah.
181
00:07:11,333 --> 00:07:12,533
What is he...
182
00:07:12,567 --> 00:07:13,968
He's backing up.
183
00:07:14,002 --> 00:07:16,070
The shame. He's gonna do this...
184
00:07:16,104 --> 00:07:19,006
Oh, that's funny. You're killing me!
185
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,274
Oh!
186
00:07:23,411 --> 00:07:24,979
[Laughs]
187
00:07:25,013 --> 00:07:26,413
Whoo!
188
00:07:26,448 --> 00:07:28,282
Can you see them?
189
00:07:28,316 --> 00:07:29,517
That was depressing.
190
00:07:29,551 --> 00:07:30,518
Look at that!
191
00:07:30,552 --> 00:07:31,519
Yeah!
192
00:07:31,553 --> 00:07:33,120
Must be 30 feet!
193
00:07:33,154 --> 00:07:34,922
Look at them. They're great.
194
00:07:34,956 --> 00:07:36,657
[Laughing] They're great.
195
00:07:36,691 --> 00:07:37,825
Those are... That's not your...
196
00:07:37,859 --> 00:07:39,326
Adam, do you think you could do a burnout
197
00:07:39,361 --> 00:07:40,828
with your diesel truck? Watch and learn.
198
00:07:48,069 --> 00:07:50,304
Are you gonna stand
here while he does this?
199
00:07:50,338 --> 00:07:51,672
No. Hell, no.
200
00:07:51,706 --> 00:07:54,074
Seen this before.
201
00:07:54,109 --> 00:07:55,476
Ferrara: Okay. I got to be honest with you.
202
00:07:55,510 --> 00:07:57,411
I don't think this thing
will break them loose.
203
00:07:57,445 --> 00:07:58,479
I'm gonna try.
204
00:07:58,513 --> 00:08:00,814
He's got, what, 8 pounds of torque?
205
00:08:00,849 --> 00:08:02,349
Hit it! Do your worst, buddy.
206
00:08:02,384 --> 00:08:03,984
I'm sorry in advance.
207
00:08:04,019 --> 00:08:06,220
Oh!
208
00:08:11,626 --> 00:08:13,127
He...
209
00:08:13,161 --> 00:08:14,228
[Laughs]
210
00:08:14,262 --> 00:08:16,030
Okay, now your truck sucks.
211
00:08:16,064 --> 00:08:18,732
I'll be honest with you. That's
a lot better than I thought.
212
00:08:18,767 --> 00:08:20,801
Look at that. It goes two lines. It
goes all the way to the second line.
213
00:08:20,835 --> 00:08:23,304
I mean, my marks are so
dark, it's hard to tell.
214
00:08:23,338 --> 00:08:24,471
Whatever.
215
00:08:24,506 --> 00:08:26,974
Easy to get them confused.
216
00:08:27,008 --> 00:08:30,144
18, 19, still going.
217
00:08:30,178 --> 00:08:31,545
Ferrara: Look at that.
218
00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:32,713
24.
219
00:08:32,747 --> 00:08:34,648
I don't know what that
means in distance, though.
220
00:08:34,683 --> 00:08:36,650
24 little Tanner feet?
221
00:08:36,685 --> 00:08:39,186
24 big, giant... [Laughs]
222
00:08:39,220 --> 00:08:40,788
I'm gonna go do a burnout.
223
00:08:40,822 --> 00:08:43,023
Ferrara: Coming up, it's Tanner's turn
224
00:08:43,058 --> 00:08:44,758
to see if he has the toughest truck.
225
00:08:44,793 --> 00:08:47,795
America! America!
226
00:08:49,447 --> 00:08:50,781
Wood: We were in the midst
227
00:08:50,815 --> 00:08:52,816
of our America's toughest truck challenge.
228
00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:54,751
I nosed out Tanner to win the drag race.
229
00:08:54,786 --> 00:08:58,155
Then, to find out which one of
our trucks had the most torque,
230
00:08:58,189 --> 00:09:01,458
we conducted a very scientific
longest-burnout test.
231
00:09:01,492 --> 00:09:02,693
Wood: What do you think?
232
00:09:02,727 --> 00:09:03,961
Here's the problem...
233
00:09:03,995 --> 00:09:06,964
It's him, you know, so he
can do this kind of stuff.
234
00:09:06,998 --> 00:09:09,733
So, it's really not fair.
235
00:09:09,767 --> 00:09:12,569
Traction control off. A/C off.
236
00:09:12,603 --> 00:09:14,137
You guys good?
237
00:09:14,172 --> 00:09:16,807
I think you've got no chance.
238
00:09:16,841 --> 00:09:18,608
I think he's got you beat.
239
00:09:18,643 --> 00:09:20,444
Well, I think I did mine forward.
240
00:09:20,478 --> 00:09:22,245
I think that should count for something.
241
00:09:23,815 --> 00:09:26,016
[Speaks indistinctly]
242
00:09:33,624 --> 00:09:35,325
What's he doing now?
243
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,461
Oh. Okay. Yeah.
244
00:09:37,495 --> 00:09:39,396
Now you're just showing off.
245
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:41,865
Now you're just showing off!
246
00:09:41,899 --> 00:09:44,001
America!
247
00:09:44,035 --> 00:09:45,369
America!
248
00:09:45,403 --> 00:09:47,804
America!
249
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:50,273
Not funny!
250
00:09:50,308 --> 00:09:52,242
I get it. We get it, okay?
251
00:09:52,276 --> 00:09:53,810
I get it. You win.
252
00:09:57,648 --> 00:09:59,950
Oh, you're awesome.
253
00:10:07,492 --> 00:10:09,826
Come on. Really?
254
00:10:09,861 --> 00:10:12,629
[Coughs]
255
00:10:12,663 --> 00:10:14,731
[Laughing]
256
00:10:19,871 --> 00:10:21,138
Still going.
257
00:10:21,172 --> 00:10:23,607
I'm gonna go get some coffee, okay?
258
00:10:23,641 --> 00:10:25,809
I'll be back in a little bit!
259
00:10:25,843 --> 00:10:27,444
[Cheers and applause]
260
00:10:30,014 --> 00:10:31,882
That didn't feel just a
little bit over-the-top?
261
00:10:31,916 --> 00:10:33,150
Nope.
262
00:10:33,184 --> 00:10:35,652
I didn't do that to you when
I beat you in the drag race.
263
00:10:35,686 --> 00:10:38,221
You just said that to point out
you beat me in the drag race,
264
00:10:38,256 --> 00:10:39,389
didn't you? I did.
265
00:10:39,424 --> 00:10:41,224
Yeah. Okay. Well, I think we can all agree
266
00:10:41,259 --> 00:10:43,427
that the F-450 is the best
dually on the planet, yes?
267
00:10:43,461 --> 00:10:46,029
[Cheers and applause]
268
00:10:46,064 --> 00:10:49,299
But if you think that was
tough, take a look at this.
269
00:10:49,333 --> 00:10:52,369
This is the rally fighter from
a company called local motors.
270
00:10:52,403 --> 00:10:54,204
Now, this is an actual
production car, one of 30 made.
271
00:10:54,238 --> 00:10:55,839
I got a chance to drive the prototype.
272
00:10:55,873 --> 00:10:58,041
They claim it can handle anything,
273
00:10:58,076 --> 00:11:01,878
so I took it to the most hostile
environment on the planet.
274
00:11:04,715 --> 00:11:07,117
Foust: To find the
largest swamp in the U.S.,
275
00:11:07,151 --> 00:11:08,518
you have to head deep
276
00:11:08,553 --> 00:11:11,521
into the damp, dark heart
of Southern Louisiana.
277
00:11:11,556 --> 00:11:13,790
There lies the at Chafalaya swamp,
278
00:11:13,825 --> 00:11:15,525
600,000 acres
279
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:19,196
of slow-moving water and lush vegetation.
280
00:11:19,230 --> 00:11:22,265
These low-lying wetlands
are in constant evolution
281
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:24,034
and are home to hundreds of species,
282
00:11:24,068 --> 00:11:26,403
including thousands of alligators,
283
00:11:26,437 --> 00:11:30,340
numerous poisonous snakes,
several Billion mosquitoes,
284
00:11:30,374 --> 00:11:32,909
and... A few crazy locals.
285
00:11:32,944 --> 00:11:34,444
So, I had the location.
286
00:11:34,479 --> 00:11:38,849
Now I needed something to
race the rally fighter against.
287
00:11:38,883 --> 00:11:40,517
It's a bit of a weird place, the swamp.
288
00:11:40,551 --> 00:11:42,152
It's not a place you'd normally drive.
289
00:11:43,721 --> 00:11:47,491
But there is one local motor
that's perfect for the swamp.
290
00:11:47,525 --> 00:11:49,626
[Engine revs]
291
00:11:53,064 --> 00:11:54,898
An airboat.
292
00:11:54,932 --> 00:11:57,400
An airboat is a simple machine,
293
00:11:57,435 --> 00:11:59,336
not much more than a tin tray
294
00:11:59,370 --> 00:12:01,071
with an engine and propeller bolted on it.
295
00:12:01,105 --> 00:12:03,240
In engineering terms,
296
00:12:03,274 --> 00:12:05,142
it's about as complicated
as a sledgehammer,
297
00:12:05,176 --> 00:12:07,177
but it's incredibly effective
298
00:12:07,211 --> 00:12:10,046
at getting through unpassable areas.
299
00:12:10,081 --> 00:12:12,816
This is not your normal
airboat. Look at it.
300
00:12:13,851 --> 00:12:18,121
This is the Godzilla of airboats.
301
00:12:18,156 --> 00:12:19,689
This thing has won airboat competitions.
302
00:12:19,724 --> 00:12:22,392
That's right. There are
airboat competitions.
303
00:12:22,426 --> 00:12:23,527
It's got a V-8
304
00:12:23,561 --> 00:12:25,862
that's supercharged with 800 horsepower.
305
00:12:25,897 --> 00:12:27,164
It's unbelievable.
306
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:31,501
There's one thing that
everybody knows in the swamp.
307
00:12:31,536 --> 00:12:33,036
Airboats are difficult to drive.
308
00:12:33,070 --> 00:12:34,471
So, to handle a beast like this,
309
00:12:34,505 --> 00:12:37,073
we needed the most skilled driver,
310
00:12:37,108 --> 00:12:39,142
which is this guy.
311
00:12:39,177 --> 00:12:41,945
Stan Floyd owns and runs American airboats
312
00:12:41,979 --> 00:12:44,281
and has been building and
designing them for 50 years.
313
00:12:44,315 --> 00:12:46,516
But that's not all.
314
00:12:46,551 --> 00:12:48,485
He's texan and a Vietnam vet
315
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:52,155
and possibly the best
airboat driver on the planet.
316
00:12:52,190 --> 00:12:54,257
Basically, if you're into airboats,
317
00:12:54,292 --> 00:12:56,726
then Stan is your God.
318
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,235
Stan may be the man when
it comes to airboats,
319
00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:08,071
but he's gonna have his
hands full racing this.
320
00:13:08,105 --> 00:13:09,639
[Engine revs]
321
00:13:09,674 --> 00:13:12,108
You've got to be kidding me!
322
00:13:14,145 --> 00:13:16,079
I'm loving it!
323
00:13:17,915 --> 00:13:21,184
This is the rally fighter.
324
00:13:22,053 --> 00:13:24,888
It's not a dune buggy or a trophy truck.
325
00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:27,757
It's an off-road beast
326
00:13:27,792 --> 00:13:30,193
that can handle any kind of terrain.
327
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:36,099
But, amazingly, you can
also drive it to work.
328
00:13:36,133 --> 00:13:39,803
If you want a vehicle you
can legally drive on the road
329
00:13:39,837 --> 00:13:41,871
and then literally drive across the border
330
00:13:41,906 --> 00:13:44,074
and enter into the Baja 1000,
331
00:13:44,108 --> 00:13:46,409
you probably need one of these.
332
00:13:46,444 --> 00:13:48,545
The craziest part about this thing
333
00:13:48,579 --> 00:13:50,647
is that local motors didn't even design it.
334
00:13:52,083 --> 00:13:54,084
It was designed on the Internet.
335
00:13:54,118 --> 00:13:56,920
Yep, you heard me... The Internet.
336
00:13:56,954 --> 00:13:58,989
They held an open competition on the web,
337
00:13:59,023 --> 00:14:02,792
and an online vote decided the winner.
338
00:14:02,827 --> 00:14:05,996
So, what does all this social networking
339
00:14:06,030 --> 00:14:08,064
and auto tweeting get you?
340
00:14:08,099 --> 00:14:12,402
For 60 grand, what you
get is a corvette engine
341
00:14:12,436 --> 00:14:15,238
but Miata door handles.
342
00:14:15,273 --> 00:14:18,575
You get a Ford truck rear end
but Honda civic taillights.
343
00:14:18,609 --> 00:14:20,610
You get a Chevrolet transmission
344
00:14:20,645 --> 00:14:22,579
but an f-150 steering wheel.
345
00:14:24,515 --> 00:14:26,950
It all sounds like a recipe for disaster,
346
00:14:26,984 --> 00:14:29,286
but then you drive it.
347
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,754
Oh, we want some speed now.
348
00:14:33,057 --> 00:14:34,858
Come on, baby!
349
00:14:34,892 --> 00:14:36,559
The 430-horsepower engine
350
00:14:36,594 --> 00:14:39,162
has enough torque to start a sandstorm.
351
00:14:39,196 --> 00:14:41,364
My God! This is street-legal?
352
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:43,266
The suspension has enough travel
353
00:14:43,301 --> 00:14:45,935
to collect frequent-flyer points...
354
00:14:47,405 --> 00:14:48,805
18 inches in the front,
355
00:14:48,839 --> 00:14:51,775
and a staggering 20 inches in the rear.
356
00:14:54,945 --> 00:14:56,746
This is coming off dry.
357
00:15:04,655 --> 00:15:07,991
This... Is ridiculous.
358
00:15:08,025 --> 00:15:10,927
Pure ridiculousness.
359
00:15:12,430 --> 00:15:15,632
It might be ridiculous, but it works.
360
00:15:15,666 --> 00:15:17,934
Somehow, all those random parts and designs
361
00:15:17,968 --> 00:15:21,104
have come together to
make a formidable machine.
362
00:15:21,138 --> 00:15:24,407
I was really starting to
like the rally fighter.
363
00:15:25,743 --> 00:15:29,045
And I thought it was time
to introduce it to the swamp.
364
00:15:30,648 --> 00:15:32,482
Oh, no!
365
00:15:32,516 --> 00:15:35,118
I'm getting absolutely soaked!
366
00:15:35,152 --> 00:15:36,786
[Engine revs]
367
00:15:38,522 --> 00:15:39,589
[Thud]
368
00:15:39,623 --> 00:15:41,558
Oh, God! That was a tree.
369
00:15:41,592 --> 00:15:42,625
[Engine stops]
370
00:15:42,660 --> 00:15:43,993
Uh-oh.
371
00:15:44,028 --> 00:15:46,429
Killed it.
372
00:15:48,666 --> 00:15:51,167
[Engine sputters]
373
00:15:51,202 --> 00:15:54,637
Uh, let's bring the mechanic out.
374
00:15:54,672 --> 00:15:56,172
Man: Copy. Stand by.
375
00:15:58,175 --> 00:15:59,376
It was about to re-fire.
376
00:15:59,410 --> 00:16:01,811
It's just you can hear
rattling, and I shut it off.
377
00:16:01,846 --> 00:16:03,947
Let's fire it up. Let's give it a try.
378
00:16:03,981 --> 00:16:05,315
You sure? Absolutely.
379
00:16:05,349 --> 00:16:07,584
Is it already done done? We can do no harm.
380
00:16:07,618 --> 00:16:09,085
Come on. Let it rip.
381
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,520
Really? Come on. Do it. Yeah.
382
00:16:10,554 --> 00:16:12,055
[Engine sputters]
383
00:16:12,089 --> 00:16:14,224
Ooh, it is a funny...
384
00:16:14,258 --> 00:16:16,626
Come on. Still, let's try
it. No, that finished it.
385
00:16:16,660 --> 00:16:17,827
That was it? You do it.
386
00:16:17,862 --> 00:16:19,028
[Laughs]
387
00:16:19,063 --> 00:16:20,697
I don't want to kill it. All right.
388
00:16:20,731 --> 00:16:22,132
Pushing the button.
389
00:16:22,166 --> 00:16:25,535
[Ignition clicking]
390
00:16:25,569 --> 00:16:27,437
I believe she's a dead player.
391
00:16:30,474 --> 00:16:33,076
I'm out of here.
392
00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:35,345
New shoes.
393
00:16:35,379 --> 00:16:37,347
I had killed the rally fighter,
394
00:16:37,381 --> 00:16:39,182
but, luckily, I had a backup,
395
00:16:39,216 --> 00:16:41,551
so the race against the
airboat was still on.
396
00:16:46,056 --> 00:16:47,624
The race would be 6 miles long
397
00:16:47,658 --> 00:16:51,294
and the route completely unpredictable.
398
00:16:51,328 --> 00:16:54,030
I'd be on a mixture of rough trails,
399
00:16:54,064 --> 00:16:56,766
gravel levee roads, and farm tracts.
400
00:16:56,801 --> 00:16:59,803
And the airboat would travel
along the shoreline to begin
401
00:16:59,837 --> 00:17:02,105
before heading deep into
the swamp to the finish.
402
00:17:04,108 --> 00:17:06,509
I was expecting the start
line to be near the water,
403
00:17:06,544 --> 00:17:09,112
but Stan had other ideas.
404
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,214
So, Stan,
405
00:17:11,248 --> 00:17:13,383
you're actually gonna drive
down the street with that?
406
00:17:13,417 --> 00:17:14,551
Yeah.
407
00:17:14,585 --> 00:17:15,919
Have you ever had this on pavement before?
408
00:17:15,953 --> 00:17:19,789
Yeah, at the armadillo
nationals in Houston.
409
00:17:19,824 --> 00:17:22,358
It's called the armadillo
nationals? Armadillo nationals.
410
00:17:22,393 --> 00:17:25,728
After I passed and it blew
the Christmas tree down,
411
00:17:25,763 --> 00:17:27,964
the track officials
were very upset with me.
412
00:17:27,998 --> 00:17:29,899
Are you allowed back there?
413
00:17:29,934 --> 00:17:31,334
Probably not.
414
00:17:31,368 --> 00:17:33,503
All right. Let's do this. All right.
415
00:17:33,537 --> 00:17:34,838
You're not gonna mind
416
00:17:34,872 --> 00:17:36,906
an old texan kicking yours, right?
417
00:17:41,679 --> 00:17:43,279
[Engine turns over]
418
00:17:43,314 --> 00:17:47,217
I was worried about the
backwash from the props.
419
00:17:47,251 --> 00:17:51,287
I should have worried
more about Stan's math.
420
00:17:51,322 --> 00:17:54,290
5...4.3...
421
00:17:54,325 --> 00:17:56,659
2...1... Go!
422
00:18:00,130 --> 00:18:03,366
Turned out Stan couldn't count,
423
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,668
and he also was completely insane.
424
00:18:05,703 --> 00:18:09,072
His crazy levee stunt
had given him a huge lead.
425
00:18:13,077 --> 00:18:16,679
Oh, my God. What kind of route is this?
426
00:18:18,649 --> 00:18:21,818
Stan hit the open water
and opened up the big V-8...
427
00:18:21,852 --> 00:18:25,255
80 miles an hour in just 400 feet.
428
00:18:26,423 --> 00:18:27,991
Go, go, go, go, go!
429
00:18:29,660 --> 00:18:32,028
Little bit of a jump.
430
00:18:32,062 --> 00:18:33,897
18 inches from Stan's head,
431
00:18:33,931 --> 00:18:36,599
the prop was traveling
at the speed of sound,
432
00:18:36,634 --> 00:18:40,370
creating
150-mile-an-hour backwash.
433
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,774
It is so bumpy.
434
00:18:46,577 --> 00:18:47,577
I think I can get him on the levee now.
435
00:18:47,611 --> 00:18:49,779
He is so far ahead of me at this point.
436
00:18:49,813 --> 00:18:51,748
While I crashed around on the banks,
437
00:18:51,782 --> 00:18:55,618
Stan was gliding serenely
across the glassy water.
438
00:18:55,653 --> 00:18:59,422
He was destroying me.
439
00:19:01,992 --> 00:19:04,394
I finally made it to the levee road...
440
00:19:04,428 --> 00:19:07,063
6 feet of dirt, a
50-foot drop on each side,
441
00:19:07,097 --> 00:19:09,566
but it was all I needed to get on the gas.
442
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,167
So, now we're laying down some speed.
443
00:19:11,201 --> 00:19:13,202
80, 90.
444
00:19:14,838 --> 00:19:16,839
100 miles an hour on a levee.
445
00:19:16,874 --> 00:19:20,977
I've done a few smarter
things in my life, I think.
446
00:19:21,011 --> 00:19:23,580
I just can't let a guy with
a Hawaiian shirt beat me.
447
00:19:23,614 --> 00:19:25,214
That's really what it comes down to.
448
00:19:26,717 --> 00:19:28,551
Stan had navigated away from the shore
449
00:19:28,586 --> 00:19:32,055
and was now halfway to the finish line.
450
00:19:33,390 --> 00:19:35,758
And the gators were ducking.
451
00:19:35,793 --> 00:19:38,394
The airboat God of thunder was approaching.
452
00:19:41,966 --> 00:19:45,201
But the murky waters concealed
rotting cypress stumps.
453
00:19:46,003 --> 00:19:49,672
Stan had to slow or risk
an impact and flip the boat.
454
00:19:49,707 --> 00:19:52,976
An airboat has no brakes and no reverse.
455
00:19:53,010 --> 00:19:55,078
Driving one takes real commitment.
456
00:19:55,112 --> 00:19:57,080
Three miles in,
457
00:19:57,114 --> 00:19:58,748
and I'd finally hit the
end of the levee road.
458
00:19:58,782 --> 00:20:03,152
Up ahead lay 2 miles of
farmland and horse trails.
459
00:20:04,955 --> 00:20:08,024
Where am I going?
460
00:20:09,526 --> 00:20:11,427
Holy crap.
461
00:20:13,897 --> 00:20:16,299
Stan had also steered away from the swamp,
462
00:20:16,333 --> 00:20:19,168
over the levee, and into the bayou.
463
00:20:22,940 --> 00:20:25,174
Is it worth 60 grand?
464
00:20:25,209 --> 00:20:26,743
I don't know.
465
00:20:26,777 --> 00:20:29,946
Certainly won't have any
worries about making it to work.
466
00:20:31,148 --> 00:20:33,616
Big bump.
467
00:20:44,094 --> 00:20:45,962
There he is!
468
00:20:45,996 --> 00:20:47,864
Holy [Bleep]
469
00:20:47,898 --> 00:20:50,199
Oh, my gosh.
470
00:20:50,234 --> 00:20:52,769
Stan's little shortcut
had given him the lead.
471
00:20:52,803 --> 00:20:54,737
With just 2 miles to go,
472
00:20:54,772 --> 00:20:57,140
I had no choice but to go all-out.
473
00:20:58,042 --> 00:20:59,242
[Suspension thumps]
474
00:20:59,276 --> 00:21:00,443
Oh! [Bleep]
475
00:21:02,780 --> 00:21:05,381
This thing is tough as nails.
476
00:21:05,416 --> 00:21:06,716
Oh, big corner.
477
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:08,317
I can't think of another production vehicle
478
00:21:08,352 --> 00:21:10,186
that could take the hit that I just did.
479
00:21:10,220 --> 00:21:11,788
And it's fine.
480
00:21:11,822 --> 00:21:15,124
This truck is a tank,
or car... Whatever it is.
481
00:21:15,159 --> 00:21:18,661
Stan was now back in the
swamp, picking up speed,
482
00:21:18,696 --> 00:21:20,830
while I had a farm
between me and the levee.
483
00:21:20,864 --> 00:21:22,331
It was too close to call.
484
00:21:37,014 --> 00:21:39,015
Finally, I hit the levee again.
485
00:21:39,049 --> 00:21:40,817
It was a straight run
from here to the finish
486
00:21:40,851 --> 00:21:42,385
one mile away.
487
00:21:42,419 --> 00:21:45,054
The question was, where was Stan?
488
00:21:45,089 --> 00:21:46,856
Oh, no! There he is!
489
00:21:52,362 --> 00:21:54,130
Oh, my God.
490
00:22:08,579 --> 00:22:10,613
That hurt. That hurt a lot.
491
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:15,818
Go! Go! This is it right here!
492
00:22:15,853 --> 00:22:19,555
Stan had edged ahead of me
with just 500 yards to go.
493
00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:21,390
It was now or never.
494
00:22:21,425 --> 00:22:24,127
I had to floor it, or Jimmy
Buffett in the flying hairdryer
495
00:22:24,161 --> 00:22:27,330
would be drinking the victory beer.
496
00:22:31,001 --> 00:22:32,702
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on,
497
00:22:32,736 --> 00:22:34,303
come on, come on, come on!
498
00:22:37,541 --> 00:22:39,342
Whoa!
499
00:22:42,246 --> 00:22:43,713
Yes!
500
00:22:43,747 --> 00:22:44,714
Yes!
501
00:22:46,717 --> 00:22:49,752
He almost just flipped it!
502
00:22:49,787 --> 00:22:52,488
Oh, my gosh!
503
00:22:54,258 --> 00:22:56,793
Coming up, we continue our
toughest-truck challenge.
504
00:22:56,827 --> 00:22:58,628
He's gonna electrocute all of us.
505
00:23:00,457 --> 00:23:02,825
Our America's strongest truck challenge
506
00:23:02,859 --> 00:23:05,828
started off great with me
winning in the drag race.
507
00:23:05,862 --> 00:23:07,797
Thank you.
508
00:23:07,831 --> 00:23:10,533
And then Tanner won the burnout challenge.
509
00:23:10,567 --> 00:23:11,934
Ferrara: Yeah.
510
00:23:11,968 --> 00:23:14,203
And raceboy was really
starting to get annoying,
511
00:23:14,237 --> 00:23:16,839
so we decided to teach him a
lesson in the next challenge.
512
00:23:19,609 --> 00:23:21,177
Ferrara: Each of us had picked
513
00:23:21,211 --> 00:23:23,879
what we thought was the toughest truck.
514
00:23:23,914 --> 00:23:25,681
I, of course, chose the ram,
515
00:23:25,715 --> 00:23:28,884
Tanner, the Ford, and Rutledge, the Chevy.
516
00:23:28,919 --> 00:23:31,053
And we were having a competition
517
00:23:31,088 --> 00:23:32,988
to prove who had the best.
518
00:23:33,023 --> 00:23:35,691
Tanner and Rutledge each had one victory.
519
00:23:35,725 --> 00:23:38,594
Yeah! That's like a rock, baby!
520
00:23:40,363 --> 00:23:43,966
So we drove high into the
hills for our third test.
521
00:23:50,974 --> 00:23:53,342
Wood: This is it.
522
00:23:53,376 --> 00:23:54,477
This is it?
523
00:23:54,511 --> 00:23:56,378
Yeah. Look at this.
524
00:23:56,413 --> 00:23:58,481
This is the perfect thing to
test a truck's off-road prowess.
525
00:23:58,515 --> 00:24:00,783
This is a runaway-truck ramp
526
00:24:00,817 --> 00:24:03,919
used to stop
80,000-pound-plus trucks
527
00:24:03,954 --> 00:24:05,488
coming down this huge hill.
528
00:24:05,522 --> 00:24:06,689
Yeah, this is like rock quicksand.
529
00:24:06,723 --> 00:24:09,325
This stops 80,000-pound trucks. Right.
530
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,627
The problem with the plan...
531
00:24:11,661 --> 00:24:13,262
And I respect Your... you know,
532
00:24:13,296 --> 00:24:15,698
wanting to try to actually
make it up this in the Chevy...
533
00:24:15,732 --> 00:24:17,900
You've got independent front suspension,
534
00:24:17,934 --> 00:24:19,735
which, awesome on the road. Fantastic.
535
00:24:19,769 --> 00:24:21,337
Yeah, great. Terrible for off-roading.
536
00:24:21,371 --> 00:24:22,505
Oh. Yeah.
537
00:24:22,539 --> 00:24:24,607
[Southern accent] Oh,
I'm Mr. straight axle.
538
00:24:24,641 --> 00:24:25,808
Hey, y'all.
539
00:24:25,842 --> 00:24:27,343
Oh, I'm gonna make it to the top
540
00:24:27,377 --> 00:24:28,611
'cause I got a straight axle. Oh.
541
00:24:28,645 --> 00:24:30,613
[Laughs] Y'all watch this.
542
00:24:30,647 --> 00:24:33,849
[Normal voice] I.F.S. and
all, I'm going to the top.
543
00:24:33,884 --> 00:24:36,485
Wood: After Tanner's gratuitous burnout,
544
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,654
he had little tread left on his tires,
545
00:24:38,688 --> 00:24:40,589
so he was at a disadvantage.
546
00:24:40,624 --> 00:24:43,125
All I had to do was make it to the top.
547
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,195
All right, Silverado, it's you and me.
548
00:24:46,229 --> 00:24:47,663
I know you can do this.
549
00:24:47,697 --> 00:24:50,065
Let's build a little boost,
and then let's take off.
550
00:24:52,369 --> 00:24:53,502
What?
551
00:24:53,537 --> 00:24:57,673
Oh, there it is. Yeah,
hi-ho, Silverado! Away!
552
00:24:57,707 --> 00:24:59,275
Oh, hello!
553
00:25:02,112 --> 00:25:03,579
Yeah! Look at that!
554
00:25:03,613 --> 00:25:04,613
Dig it!
555
00:25:04,648 --> 00:25:06,248
I'm glad I don't work here
556
00:25:06,283 --> 00:25:07,783
if that's the runaway-truck thing. Right.
557
00:25:07,817 --> 00:25:10,619
You feel like you're gonna
have a problem with this?
558
00:25:10,654 --> 00:25:13,022
Not at all. I'll show you.
559
00:25:13,056 --> 00:25:15,591
Ferrara: Rutledge made
it up the hill with ease.
560
00:25:15,625 --> 00:25:17,927
Now all I had to do was get to the top,
561
00:25:17,961 --> 00:25:20,329
and we would have Tanner
exactly where we wanted him.
562
00:25:20,363 --> 00:25:22,064
Okay. Go for it.
563
00:25:22,098 --> 00:25:23,365
Goodbye.
564
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,867
That's it. See?
565
00:25:24,901 --> 00:25:27,603
Step on the gas and
climb the hill like a man.
566
00:25:27,637 --> 00:25:29,572
Like a ram!
567
00:25:29,606 --> 00:25:31,340
Ha ha!
568
00:25:34,644 --> 00:25:36,445
Aaah!
569
00:25:36,479 --> 00:25:39,281
[Chuckles] That is just crazy.
570
00:25:39,316 --> 00:25:40,983
Wood: Our trap was set.
571
00:25:41,017 --> 00:25:43,719
Tanner may have thought
this was an easy challenge,
572
00:25:43,753 --> 00:25:46,855
but a slow climb like this
requires good traction.
573
00:25:46,890 --> 00:25:48,190
Are you ready?
574
00:25:48,225 --> 00:25:49,792
[Laughs]
575
00:25:49,826 --> 00:25:52,194
Yes.
576
00:25:52,229 --> 00:25:54,230
There he goes.
577
00:25:54,264 --> 00:25:55,598
Oh, hey. That is dangerous.
578
00:25:55,632 --> 00:25:57,099
That's digging.
579
00:25:57,133 --> 00:25:58,601
We are really going for it.
580
00:25:58,635 --> 00:26:02,304
You see that solid axle just jumping?
581
00:26:02,339 --> 00:26:04,573
He's spinning! He's spinning!
582
00:26:04,608 --> 00:26:06,775
[Laughs] Yes! Yes!
583
00:26:06,810 --> 00:26:08,344
He's spinning!
584
00:26:08,378 --> 00:26:10,279
Come on!
585
00:26:10,313 --> 00:26:12,081
Come on! You're super!
586
00:26:12,115 --> 00:26:14,350
You're super!
587
00:26:14,384 --> 00:26:15,517
[Bleep] It.
588
00:26:15,552 --> 00:26:16,885
[Laughs]
589
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,821
Yes! That's it!
590
00:26:18,855 --> 00:26:20,022
Okay. One more try at it.
591
00:26:20,056 --> 00:26:22,825
[Laughs]
592
00:26:24,661 --> 00:26:26,862
Just a second!
593
00:26:26,896 --> 00:26:27,930
No way! Give it up!
594
00:26:27,964 --> 00:26:29,098
Let it go!
595
00:26:30,267 --> 00:26:33,535
Use your super powers!
596
00:26:33,570 --> 00:26:34,937
It's just getting lower and lower.
597
00:26:34,971 --> 00:26:37,139
It's just digging and digging and digging.
598
00:26:37,173 --> 00:26:40,175
[Coughing] Oh!
599
00:26:40,210 --> 00:26:41,410
Dude, is that thing buried to the axle?
600
00:26:41,444 --> 00:26:44,446
Yeah. Look at it. Half a tire's in there.
601
00:26:44,481 --> 00:26:45,848
Damn it.
602
00:26:45,882 --> 00:26:48,484
[Both laughing]
603
00:26:51,988 --> 00:26:53,389
Here's the thing.
604
00:26:53,423 --> 00:26:54,890
There's no thing!
605
00:26:54,924 --> 00:26:57,593
Here's the thing... It's
the tread from the burnouts.
606
00:26:57,627 --> 00:27:01,297
Ferrara: Yeah. [Laughs]
607
00:27:01,331 --> 00:27:04,833
You know what? You're absolutely right.
608
00:27:04,868 --> 00:27:06,835
That was a pile of super "duty."
609
00:27:06,870 --> 00:27:09,271
[Laughs] There you go. Look at him.
610
00:27:09,306 --> 00:27:10,906
If you hadn't spent all that time
611
00:27:10,940 --> 00:27:13,409
riding circles and donuts around us,
612
00:27:13,443 --> 00:27:15,144
you'd have plenty of tires left.
613
00:27:15,178 --> 00:27:16,512
"I can do burnouts."
614
00:27:16,546 --> 00:27:18,180
That...
615
00:27:18,214 --> 00:27:20,182
You lost. There's... Because the...
616
00:27:20,216 --> 00:27:21,850
Let it go. I know. I know.
617
00:27:21,885 --> 00:27:23,485
You're gonna be up for days.
618
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,021
God, it feels so sweet
when you suck at something.
619
00:27:26,056 --> 00:27:27,456
I know. Oh, it feels good!
620
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:30,359
You know what?
621
00:27:30,393 --> 00:27:31,827
I'm not done here.
622
00:27:31,861 --> 00:27:32,995
There's more.
623
00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:36,465
I think the Chevy can do
way more stuff than this.
624
00:27:36,499 --> 00:27:37,933
I know the ram can.
625
00:27:40,637 --> 00:27:43,072
Ferrara: We had successfully
given Tanner a beatdown,
626
00:27:43,106 --> 00:27:45,841
but our toughest truck
challenge wasn't over.
627
00:27:45,875 --> 00:27:48,510
The real test for a
pickup is towing capacity,
628
00:27:48,545 --> 00:27:51,080
so we set out once and for all
629
00:27:51,114 --> 00:27:54,850
to see who had the toughest truck.
630
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,487
I'm telling you, this is a great plan.
631
00:27:58,521 --> 00:28:00,789
"This is a great plan."
Remember those words.
632
00:28:00,824 --> 00:28:02,791
Towing capacity. What's yours?
633
00:28:02,826 --> 00:28:05,027
24,400.
634
00:28:05,061 --> 00:28:06,328
[Laughs]
635
00:28:06,363 --> 00:28:07,396
That is a lot.
636
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:08,664
But that's super-duty,
637
00:28:08,698 --> 00:28:09,832
so it's obviously on a different scale.
638
00:28:09,866 --> 00:28:11,533
Mine's almost 30,000.
639
00:28:11,568 --> 00:28:12,835
What? What?
640
00:28:12,869 --> 00:28:15,771
It's 22,000. That's almost 30,000.
641
00:28:15,805 --> 00:28:18,941
I'm just... Just a
little bit... I'm 21,700.
642
00:28:18,975 --> 00:28:21,043
21 what? Aha. 21,700.
643
00:28:21,077 --> 00:28:23,512
So, this is one I'm ready
for. What do you got?
644
00:28:23,546 --> 00:28:24,880
Well, look, here's the deal.
645
00:28:24,914 --> 00:28:27,216
We've seen all the commercials
when people test trucks.
646
00:28:27,250 --> 00:28:29,351
It's always, "oh, you
can out-pull this guy"
647
00:28:29,386 --> 00:28:30,886
pulling a boat or a trailer."
648
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,555
What does that have to
do with telephone poles?
649
00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:34,757
Well, I just saw it,
650
00:28:34,791 --> 00:28:37,259
and I thought that'd be
a cool thing to pull down.
651
00:28:37,293 --> 00:28:39,695
I respect the destructive nature in you.
652
00:28:39,729 --> 00:28:41,363
Well? Let's let it happen.
653
00:28:41,398 --> 00:28:45,501
Okay. In many famous
man's words, "watch this."
654
00:28:45,535 --> 00:28:47,803
Does he know they're all hooked together?
655
00:28:50,607 --> 00:28:54,042
This telephone pole stands
at about 4 stories high
656
00:28:54,077 --> 00:28:57,513
and is dug 20 feet into the ground.
657
00:28:57,547 --> 00:28:59,481
Pulling it down is a
perfect way to demonstrate
658
00:28:59,516 --> 00:29:02,084
my Chevy's towing power.
659
00:29:02,118 --> 00:29:04,453
This is a great idea.
660
00:29:04,487 --> 00:29:06,221
Yes.
661
00:29:06,256 --> 00:29:08,757
He's gonna electrocute all of us.
662
00:29:08,792 --> 00:29:09,792
No. Yeah.
663
00:29:09,826 --> 00:29:11,093
I'll be okay.
664
00:29:11,127 --> 00:29:13,495
Just keep your feet off the ground. Here.
665
00:29:13,530 --> 00:29:14,997
This is the stuff
666
00:29:15,031 --> 00:29:17,099
you dream about when
you're a kid right here.
667
00:29:17,133 --> 00:29:18,801
"Oh, I wonder if you can
pull a telephone pole down
668
00:29:18,835 --> 00:29:20,002
with a truck."
669
00:29:20,036 --> 00:29:21,570
I really like the idea,
670
00:29:21,604 --> 00:29:25,240
but it is one of the dumber
ideas we've had on this show.
671
00:29:25,275 --> 00:29:26,842
Pretty cool.
672
00:29:26,876 --> 00:29:29,978
Four-wheel drive. Chevy,
I know you can do it.
673
00:29:30,013 --> 00:29:32,514
Here I go! Here I go!
674
00:29:36,019 --> 00:29:38,020
[Wood cracking]
675
00:29:38,054 --> 00:29:40,789
Yeah. Get angry at it, Rutledge.
676
00:29:40,824 --> 00:29:42,658
Come on! Let's go!
677
00:29:42,692 --> 00:29:44,460
I'm in full support of
whatever's about to happen.
678
00:29:44,494 --> 00:29:46,628
There it goes.
679
00:29:46,663 --> 00:29:49,598
It's coming down!
680
00:29:53,503 --> 00:29:56,839
[Laughing]
681
00:29:56,873 --> 00:29:58,907
He got two!
682
00:29:58,942 --> 00:30:00,676
Did you see that?
683
00:30:00,710 --> 00:30:02,177
That was beautifully stupid!
684
00:30:02,212 --> 00:30:05,247
I just ripped a telephone pole down!
685
00:30:05,281 --> 00:30:08,183
[Laughs]
686
00:30:08,218 --> 00:30:10,352
Chevy!
687
00:30:10,386 --> 00:30:12,421
But, to be fair, that's not really towing.
688
00:30:12,455 --> 00:30:13,722
It's pulling.
689
00:30:13,756 --> 00:30:17,860
I don't think that was all that impressive.
690
00:30:17,894 --> 00:30:19,228
And you were hooked up to the top.
691
00:30:19,262 --> 00:30:21,163
They look like they're
gonna fall over on their own.
692
00:30:21,197 --> 00:30:23,599
I tried to get one, and I got two!
693
00:30:23,633 --> 00:30:25,501
It sounded rotten... The wood did.
694
00:30:25,535 --> 00:30:27,469
Why don't you show me something cooler?
695
00:30:27,504 --> 00:30:29,404
I think I saw something. Let's go.
696
00:30:29,439 --> 00:30:31,139
You did awesome!
697
00:30:31,174 --> 00:30:34,243
You did awesome, Chevy!
698
00:30:34,277 --> 00:30:36,612
Two poles.
699
00:30:36,646 --> 00:30:39,515
Somebody's gonna have to
clean all this up, you know.
700
00:30:42,619 --> 00:30:45,053
Foust: Rutledge's first
annual telephone-pole pull-down
701
00:30:45,088 --> 00:30:46,355
was entertaining,
702
00:30:46,389 --> 00:30:48,390
but it wasn't the best way
703
00:30:48,424 --> 00:30:50,759
to show off a truck's towing capacity.
704
00:30:52,495 --> 00:30:55,998
To show them my Ford
was the toughest truck,
705
00:30:56,032 --> 00:30:59,167
I found the biggest and
heaviest thing around.
706
00:31:00,570 --> 00:31:02,404
I don't think pulling
down a couple toothpicks
707
00:31:02,438 --> 00:31:03,805
really shows what a truck can do.
708
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,674
I agree with you, but this? Yeah.
709
00:31:05,708 --> 00:31:07,910
This shows what a truck can do.
710
00:31:07,944 --> 00:31:09,111
[Engine turns over]
711
00:31:09,145 --> 00:31:10,412
There's no way you're gonna
be able to pull a train.
712
00:31:10,446 --> 00:31:12,948
You have an engine and
a coal car, all right?
713
00:31:12,982 --> 00:31:15,651
Do you know how much that weighs?
That is 140 tons back there.
714
00:31:15,685 --> 00:31:19,488
280,000 pounds of steel and iron.
715
00:31:19,522 --> 00:31:20,622
And what's your tow capacity?
716
00:31:20,657 --> 00:31:22,457
Just shy of that.
717
00:31:22,492 --> 00:31:24,893
Okay. It's not load-rated
for what we're about to do,
718
00:31:24,928 --> 00:31:26,962
but I just want to prove to you
719
00:31:26,996 --> 00:31:29,298
why Ford is the ultimate truck.
720
00:31:29,332 --> 00:31:31,600
This is what "made in
America" means, my friends.
721
00:31:31,634 --> 00:31:32,668
Step back.
722
00:31:32,702 --> 00:31:34,436
I'm gonna get a good vantage point here.
723
00:31:36,606 --> 00:31:38,507
Truck, train.
724
00:31:38,541 --> 00:31:40,509
Ferrara: Truck, train, coal car.
725
00:31:40,543 --> 00:31:42,044
Moron.
726
00:31:42,078 --> 00:31:45,881
This is never gonna work. This is 140 tons.
727
00:31:45,915 --> 00:31:50,018
280,000 pounds of train.
There's no way I can tow this.
728
00:31:55,625 --> 00:31:57,826
Yep! Oh, you almost got it!
729
00:31:57,860 --> 00:31:59,394
Come on!
730
00:32:00,964 --> 00:32:01,997
Come on!
731
00:32:05,197 --> 00:32:06,998
Now it's time for a part of the show
732
00:32:07,033 --> 00:32:08,967
we like to call "big star, small car."
733
00:32:09,001 --> 00:32:10,869
That's where we put a
celebrity in our Suzuki
734
00:32:10,903 --> 00:32:13,238
to see who can set the fastest lap time.
735
00:32:13,272 --> 00:32:15,907
And our big star is one
of my favorite comedians,
736
00:32:15,941 --> 00:32:17,108
Bill Engvall!
737
00:32:17,143 --> 00:32:19,177
[Cheers and applause]
738
00:32:19,211 --> 00:32:20,445
All right.
739
00:32:20,479 --> 00:32:22,213
You ready for this, pal?
740
00:32:22,248 --> 00:32:24,449
I am ready for this. I've watched the show.
741
00:32:24,483 --> 00:32:25,650
Big fan of the show.
742
00:32:25,684 --> 00:32:28,720
I've signed the will, and
my kids are taken care of,
743
00:32:28,754 --> 00:32:31,089
and everything that needed to
be evacuated got evacuated, so...
744
00:32:31,123 --> 00:32:32,323
[Laughter] Good. Good.
745
00:32:32,358 --> 00:32:33,691
I'm ready to do this.
746
00:32:33,726 --> 00:32:35,393
Look, we can hose out
anything that comes out of you.
747
00:32:35,428 --> 00:32:36,594
Yeah, I noticed it was all...
748
00:32:36,629 --> 00:32:38,163
It's all tefloned and
all that, so that's good.
749
00:32:38,197 --> 00:32:39,931
Okay. So, you get in there. You tear it up.
750
00:32:39,965 --> 00:32:42,100
I'm gonna take the audience, and
we will meet you back at the hangar.
751
00:32:42,134 --> 00:32:43,668
We'll see you in the
hangar. All right. Let's go.
752
00:32:43,702 --> 00:32:45,036
Go get 'em, pal.
753
00:32:45,071 --> 00:32:47,205
Come on.
754
00:32:47,873 --> 00:32:49,674
All right. Here we go...
755
00:32:49,708 --> 00:32:51,309
The dumbest thing I've ever done.
756
00:32:51,343 --> 00:32:53,111
[Engine revs]
757
00:32:53,145 --> 00:32:55,613
Ferrara: All right.
He's off to a good start.
758
00:32:55,648 --> 00:32:56,848
Until now.
759
00:32:56,882 --> 00:32:58,817
Here comes the first turn.
760
00:32:58,851 --> 00:33:01,086
Stay composed behind the wheel.
761
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,788
Sometimes you have to
go slower to go faster.
762
00:33:03,823 --> 00:33:05,223
I turned on the wipers. [Laughs]
763
00:33:05,257 --> 00:33:06,691
Apparently heard it's gonna rain.
764
00:33:06,725 --> 00:33:08,960
Bill is approaching a
turn called the teardrop.
765
00:33:08,994 --> 00:33:10,862
You cannot carry a lot
of speed through here
766
00:33:10,896 --> 00:33:12,430
'cause you will spin out.
767
00:33:12,465 --> 00:33:14,399
Oh, that was nice.
768
00:33:15,901 --> 00:33:17,635
This is where you can
really just get on it.
769
00:33:17,670 --> 00:33:20,271
All right. Now we're getting the speed.
770
00:33:20,306 --> 00:33:22,040
There's an 85.
771
00:33:22,074 --> 00:33:23,741
Oh, my God. 90.
772
00:33:23,776 --> 00:33:26,044
Haven't taken out a camera. That's good.
773
00:33:26,078 --> 00:33:28,079
He pretty good past the tires.
774
00:33:28,114 --> 00:33:29,214
Whoo!
775
00:33:29,248 --> 00:33:30,682
[Laughs]
776
00:33:30,716 --> 00:33:33,384
[Laughing] And he's having a good time.
777
00:33:33,419 --> 00:33:35,620
[Tires squeal]
778
00:33:35,654 --> 00:33:37,322
Oh, my God. This thing's got some juice.
779
00:33:37,356 --> 00:33:38,523
There you go.
780
00:33:38,557 --> 00:33:40,692
This is cameraman's curve coming up.
781
00:33:40,726 --> 00:33:43,294
Oh, that went nice. Very nice. There we go.
782
00:33:43,329 --> 00:33:46,364
Now taking it home, baby!
Daddy's hauling the mail!
783
00:33:46,398 --> 00:33:48,800
Okay. Here comes daddy with the mail
784
00:33:48,834 --> 00:33:50,835
around the last turn.
785
00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:53,338
And he is across the line.
786
00:33:53,372 --> 00:33:55,940
That was better than sex. Let
me tell you that right now.
787
00:33:55,975 --> 00:33:57,175
[Chuckles]
788
00:33:57,209 --> 00:33:58,543
I'm gonna need a cigarette
after this is over.
789
00:33:58,577 --> 00:34:00,812
[Cheers and applause]
790
00:34:04,049 --> 00:34:05,783
Bill, come on up!
791
00:34:05,818 --> 00:34:07,752
Bill, come on up here.
792
00:34:10,089 --> 00:34:14,025
Bill Engvall! Good to see you, my friend.
793
00:34:14,059 --> 00:34:16,194
It was great. Wow.
794
00:34:22,535 --> 00:34:23,968
How was that, brother? Did you have fun?
795
00:34:24,003 --> 00:34:25,303
That was crazy. Yeah?
796
00:34:25,337 --> 00:34:28,940
There was times that it s really fun.
797
00:34:28,974 --> 00:34:30,175
Mm-hmm.
798
00:34:30,209 --> 00:34:32,710
And then there was times
I had things puckering
799
00:34:32,745 --> 00:34:33,845
I didn't know I had.
800
00:34:33,879 --> 00:34:35,213
[Laughter]
801
00:34:35,247 --> 00:34:37,115
That's a lot like marriage.
802
00:34:37,149 --> 00:34:38,917
[Laughing] Exactly.
803
00:34:38,951 --> 00:34:40,919
How'd you like the Suzuki? You know what?
804
00:34:40,953 --> 00:34:42,787
I got to tell you, I was
impressed with that little car.
805
00:34:42,821 --> 00:34:44,022
Really?
806
00:34:44,056 --> 00:34:45,290
It has a little pep to it.
807
00:34:45,324 --> 00:34:46,691
You need to raise your goals.
808
00:34:46,725 --> 00:34:48,493
[Laughter]
809
00:34:48,527 --> 00:34:49,994
[Applause]
810
00:34:50,029 --> 00:34:51,296
I will tell you that I was...
811
00:34:51,330 --> 00:34:52,830
That when the show called and said,
812
00:34:52,865 --> 00:34:54,899
"would you want to be
on?" I said, "of course."
813
00:34:54,934 --> 00:34:57,435
And they said, "if you want to
bring your own car, you can."
814
00:34:57,469 --> 00:34:58,903
And so I looked at my wife,
815
00:34:58,938 --> 00:35:01,306
who has an Aston Martin vantage...
816
00:35:01,340 --> 00:35:03,741
[Crowd "oohs"]
817
00:35:03,776 --> 00:35:06,578
And I said, "honey,"
and she goes, "no. No."
818
00:35:06,612 --> 00:35:08,846
[Laughter]
819
00:35:08,881 --> 00:35:10,848
So, your wife has an
Aston? She has an Aston.
820
00:35:10,883 --> 00:35:14,219
I have a '50 Chevy pickup
that I've had redone.
821
00:35:14,253 --> 00:35:17,388
I have a '77 volkswagen van.
822
00:35:17,423 --> 00:35:18,823
You still smoke pot? Yeah.
823
00:35:18,857 --> 00:35:20,091
[Laughter]
824
00:35:20,125 --> 00:35:22,627
[Applause]
825
00:35:22,661 --> 00:35:25,129
But it's all medical now.
826
00:35:25,164 --> 00:35:26,898
Yeah. It's all purely medical.
827
00:35:26,932 --> 00:35:28,566
It the glaucoma.
828
00:35:28,601 --> 00:35:32,770
And then I have a Mercedes
s600, which I just love.
829
00:35:32,805 --> 00:35:34,239
That's big. Yeah.
830
00:35:34,273 --> 00:35:35,406
And I love that car,
831
00:35:35,441 --> 00:35:36,874
but when you step on
the gas, you hear this...
832
00:35:36,909 --> 00:35:38,209
[Inhales deeply]
833
00:35:38,244 --> 00:35:39,477
And just watch the gauge just go...
834
00:35:39,511 --> 00:35:40,678
'Cause it's 12-cylinder.
835
00:35:40,713 --> 00:35:42,880
What was your first car?
836
00:35:42,915 --> 00:35:46,050
My first car ever was a 1962 Ford falcon,
837
00:35:46,085 --> 00:35:47,285
and it was...
838
00:35:47,319 --> 00:35:48,353
[Crowd murmurs] Yeah.
839
00:35:48,387 --> 00:35:49,787
It was a two-door, three on the tree,
840
00:35:49,822 --> 00:35:53,224
and I tricked that thing out.
841
00:35:53,259 --> 00:35:54,459
[Laughter]
842
00:35:54,493 --> 00:35:56,060
You pimped out a '62...
843
00:35:56,095 --> 00:35:58,963
I had a shag carpet in
the back window. [Laughter]
844
00:35:58,998 --> 00:36:00,465
Yeah. Oh, it gets better.
845
00:36:00,499 --> 00:36:02,667
I had a metal foot for a gas pedal.
846
00:36:02,701 --> 00:36:04,135
[Laughter]
847
00:36:04,169 --> 00:36:06,571
And then I put my own 8-track in.
848
00:36:06,605 --> 00:36:08,239
[Laughter]
849
00:36:08,274 --> 00:36:12,510
And had a date that night, so
I got my best make-out music.
850
00:36:12,544 --> 00:36:14,212
It was the "best of bread" 8-track.
851
00:36:14,246 --> 00:36:15,446
[Laughing] Bread?
852
00:36:15,481 --> 00:36:18,082
And I'm driving. I pop that 8-track in.
853
00:36:18,117 --> 00:36:19,884
I'm just driving. All
of a sudden, I realize
854
00:36:19,918 --> 00:36:21,786
that the whole car has filled up with smoke
855
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:23,788
because I've short-wired it somehow.
856
00:36:23,822 --> 00:36:25,223
[Laughter] It was a great car for me
857
00:36:25,257 --> 00:36:27,525
because it was a great make-out car
858
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:29,160
because the passenger seat,
859
00:36:29,194 --> 00:36:31,863
if you put enough weight
on it, would fall backwards.
860
00:36:31,897 --> 00:36:33,231
[Laughter]
861
00:36:33,265 --> 00:36:34,565
Insta-bed.
862
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,367
Now, let me ask.
863
00:36:36,402 --> 00:36:39,370
Did you discover that, or
did you rig that to happen?
864
00:36:39,405 --> 00:36:40,471
No, I actually...
865
00:36:40,506 --> 00:36:42,573
It actually happened by accident.
866
00:36:42,608 --> 00:36:44,609
My girlfriend at the
time and I were parking
867
00:36:44,643 --> 00:36:45,643
outside of her house.
868
00:36:45,678 --> 00:36:48,279
And I leaned over to make my move,
869
00:36:48,314 --> 00:36:51,683
and the seat just went... Chprrkkw!
870
00:36:51,717 --> 00:36:53,818
And she said, "well, this is convenient."
871
00:36:53,852 --> 00:36:55,186
[Laughter]
872
00:36:55,220 --> 00:36:57,322
"Yes, it is."
873
00:36:57,356 --> 00:36:59,457
And I don't know why
Ford never put that option
874
00:36:59,491 --> 00:37:01,592
in another car because...
875
00:37:01,627 --> 00:37:02,760
Well, I am so happy you're here,
876
00:37:02,795 --> 00:37:03,895
and you really enjoyed the lap?
877
00:37:03,929 --> 00:37:05,363
Oh, I had the greatest time.
878
00:37:05,397 --> 00:37:06,998
Yeah? How do you think you
did? How fast you think you did?
879
00:37:07,032 --> 00:37:08,900
I don't know. I'm looking at
those times, and I think I just...
880
00:37:08,934 --> 00:37:13,538
I worry that I'm gonna
be slower than Chumlee.
881
00:37:13,572 --> 00:37:16,908
I got to beat buzz aldrin.
What is he... Like 90?
882
00:37:16,942 --> 00:37:18,509
Yeah. [Laughter]
883
00:37:18,544 --> 00:37:21,379
But that's in moon time. Oh! Oh!
884
00:37:21,413 --> 00:37:22,847
But let me tell you something.
885
00:37:22,881 --> 00:37:26,384
You did it in 1...
886
00:37:26,418 --> 00:37:29,287
40...
887
00:37:29,321 --> 00:37:30,788
4...
888
00:37:30,823 --> 00:37:32,623
Oh!
889
00:37:32,658 --> 00:37:34,359
Point 3.
890
00:37:34,393 --> 00:37:35,693
Oh!
891
00:37:35,728 --> 00:37:37,762
[Cheers and applause]
892
00:37:40,165 --> 00:37:41,799
All right, all right.
893
00:37:43,869 --> 00:37:46,070
Yeah!
894
00:37:47,706 --> 00:37:49,741
Took down Bret Michaels, baby!
895
00:37:49,775 --> 00:37:50,908
That's it, man.
896
00:37:50,943 --> 00:37:52,810
Oh! That's impressive.
897
00:37:52,845 --> 00:37:55,380
My pal Bill Engvall.
898
00:37:55,414 --> 00:37:57,615
[Cheers and applause]
899
00:37:57,649 --> 00:38:00,051
So, now, you're originally from Texas?
900
00:38:00,085 --> 00:38:01,853
Correct. Big trucks in Texas.
901
00:38:01,887 --> 00:38:02,887
If you don't have a truck,
902
00:38:02,921 --> 00:38:04,455
then there's no point in driving anything.
903
00:38:04,490 --> 00:38:05,690
[Laughter]
904
00:38:05,724 --> 00:38:07,625
What's... In your opinion,
what's the best dually?
905
00:38:07,659 --> 00:38:12,130
Best dually for my money
would have to be the dodge ram.
906
00:38:12,164 --> 00:38:13,664
You're absolutely right.
907
00:38:13,699 --> 00:38:15,800
It is the dodge ram, which you will see
908
00:38:15,834 --> 00:38:19,103
as we get back to our
toughest-truck challenge.
909
00:38:27,346 --> 00:38:30,047
This is what "made in
America" means, my friends.
910
00:38:30,082 --> 00:38:31,215
Step back.
911
00:38:31,250 --> 00:38:33,451
I'm gonna get a good vantage point here.
912
00:38:37,756 --> 00:38:39,390
Ferrara: Yep!
913
00:38:39,425 --> 00:38:41,426
Oh, you almost got it!
914
00:38:41,460 --> 00:38:42,560
Come on!
915
00:38:45,497 --> 00:38:47,665
Go! Come on!
916
00:38:53,439 --> 00:38:55,039
It's moving!
917
00:38:57,142 --> 00:38:58,643
Yes!
918
00:38:58,677 --> 00:38:59,877
That's what I'm talking about!
919
00:38:59,912 --> 00:39:02,113
Wood: There is no way
920
00:39:02,147 --> 00:39:05,616
he is pulling a train right now.
921
00:39:05,651 --> 00:39:07,585
Are you kidding me?
922
00:39:15,527 --> 00:39:17,395
Yes!
923
00:39:17,429 --> 00:39:19,263
Yeah, but it's on wheels.
924
00:39:19,298 --> 00:39:20,731
Yeah. It's on wheels.
925
00:39:20,766 --> 00:39:21,799
Doesn't count.
926
00:39:21,834 --> 00:39:23,801
You know what? Doesn't count!
927
00:39:23,836 --> 00:39:25,570
It's a train.
928
00:39:25,604 --> 00:39:26,671
On wheels.
929
00:39:26,705 --> 00:39:29,373
No big deal. Not impressive at all.
930
00:39:29,408 --> 00:39:30,708
I'll show you something impressive.
931
00:39:30,742 --> 00:39:34,212
Watch the ram. Follow me, Thomas.
932
00:39:34,246 --> 00:39:35,813
[Laughs]
933
00:39:35,848 --> 00:39:37,148
That's funny.
934
00:39:37,182 --> 00:39:39,383
That's about Thomas the tank engine.
935
00:39:39,418 --> 00:39:41,752
It's a kids' show.
936
00:39:41,787 --> 00:39:43,387
Thomas... He's a train.
937
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,989
He's on an island,
938
00:39:45,023 --> 00:39:47,792
and the front of the train is his face.
939
00:39:47,826 --> 00:39:49,026
What's the island called?
940
00:39:49,061 --> 00:39:51,062
Sodor. So sad.
941
00:39:51,096 --> 00:39:54,699
There's Percy. There's Thomas.
942
00:39:54,733 --> 00:39:56,901
There's Clara.
943
00:39:56,935 --> 00:39:59,470
There's a whole bunch of them.
There's a whole gang of them.
944
00:39:59,505 --> 00:40:01,873
Ferrara: So, to top Tanner's Ford
945
00:40:01,907 --> 00:40:04,909
pulling a 280,000-pound train,
946
00:40:04,943 --> 00:40:06,277
I needed something massive,
947
00:40:06,311 --> 00:40:08,679
something gargantuan, something so big
948
00:40:08,714 --> 00:40:12,049
I could prove that my ram
was the toughest truck.
949
00:40:12,084 --> 00:40:15,319
Two termite-infested telephone poles
950
00:40:15,354 --> 00:40:17,889
and a train on wheels. I...
951
00:40:17,923 --> 00:40:21,259
Speak not. Just watch. Watch and learn.
952
00:40:21,293 --> 00:40:23,261
Here comes the ram, boys!
953
00:40:23,295 --> 00:40:26,430
It was a 280,000-pound train.
954
00:40:26,465 --> 00:40:28,065
Ferrara: On wheels!
955
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:29,567
Cables were still...
956
00:40:29,601 --> 00:40:31,836
I mean, it was a
functioning telephone pole.
957
00:40:31,870 --> 00:40:33,905
[Laughs]
958
00:40:33,939 --> 00:40:35,139
Such a bad idea.
959
00:40:35,173 --> 00:40:36,541
We're gonna pull down a house.
960
00:40:36,575 --> 00:40:38,242
[Laughs]
961
00:40:39,298 --> 00:40:41,165
Ferrara: Our toughest-truck challenge
962
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,335
had come down to towing capacity.
963
00:40:44,370 --> 00:40:47,538
Tanner's Ford pulling
a 280,000-pound train
964
00:40:47,573 --> 00:40:49,173
was pretty impressive.
965
00:40:49,208 --> 00:40:52,777
But I was ready to bring down the house.
966
00:40:52,811 --> 00:40:54,011
Such a bad idea.
967
00:40:54,046 --> 00:40:55,179
Come on, baby.
968
00:40:55,214 --> 00:40:56,614
Let's show them what a ram can do, huh?
969
00:40:56,648 --> 00:40:59,150
This is gonna be great. Total catastrophe.
970
00:40:59,184 --> 00:41:00,251
You ready, fellas?
971
00:41:00,285 --> 00:41:01,753
Foust: Uh...
972
00:41:01,787 --> 00:41:03,321
Is there an answer to
that question, really?
973
00:41:03,355 --> 00:41:05,223
Here we go.
974
00:41:05,257 --> 00:41:07,325
Do you feel confident in
his ability to do this?
975
00:41:07,359 --> 00:41:09,360
No. He's gonna mess this all up,
976
00:41:09,395 --> 00:41:10,995
and it's a house. Start moving.
977
00:41:11,029 --> 00:41:13,164
Oh, my gosh.
978
00:41:13,198 --> 00:41:15,867
Hey, you're just digging a hole.
979
00:41:15,901 --> 00:41:17,068
Well, that was impressive.
980
00:41:17,102 --> 00:41:19,237
Watch him figure this
out. This should be good.
981
00:41:19,271 --> 00:41:21,372
Remain calm! All is well!
982
00:41:21,407 --> 00:41:23,408
That house is just laughing at you.
983
00:41:23,442 --> 00:41:26,844
No, he's gonna yank it now.
Oh, this is gonna look bad.
984
00:41:31,083 --> 00:41:33,584
[Both laugh]
985
00:41:37,423 --> 00:41:39,090
Huh!
986
00:41:39,124 --> 00:41:40,591
Almost there!
987
00:41:40,626 --> 00:41:42,460
Rome wasn't built in a day, fellas!
988
00:41:42,494 --> 00:41:43,528
Go big or go home!
989
00:41:43,562 --> 00:41:44,962
Oh, don't [Bleep]
990
00:41:44,997 --> 00:41:46,931
Don't say that. Don't
say that to him. [Laughs]
991
00:41:46,965 --> 00:41:48,866
Ohh!
992
00:41:48,901 --> 00:41:51,402
[Laughs]
993
00:41:52,504 --> 00:41:54,138
Ha ha!
994
00:41:54,173 --> 00:41:55,907
I think you did it!
995
00:41:55,941 --> 00:41:59,343
[Laughing] I'm pretty sure you
just pulled that house down.
996
00:41:59,378 --> 00:42:00,678
[Laughing]
997
00:42:00,712 --> 00:42:04,182
You pulled this house down.
998
00:42:04,216 --> 00:42:06,651
I feel like a lot of asbestos
just went into my lungs.
999
00:42:06,685 --> 00:42:08,386
Are you okay?
1000
00:42:08,420 --> 00:42:10,388
That was awesome.
1001
00:42:10,422 --> 00:42:11,889
Yeah.
1002
00:42:11,924 --> 00:42:15,626
So, I think we proved that
the ram is the toughest truck.
1003
00:42:15,661 --> 00:42:17,295
I... The house is...
1004
00:42:17,329 --> 00:42:19,197
first of all, it's not
as heavy as the train.
1005
00:42:19,231 --> 00:42:20,865
This thing was falling in on itself.
1006
00:42:20,899 --> 00:42:22,733
Those telephone poles were in the ground.
1007
00:42:22,768 --> 00:42:24,202
Those telephone poles were put up
1008
00:42:24,236 --> 00:42:25,870
during the eisenhower administration.
1009
00:42:25,904 --> 00:42:27,004
Will you stop it?
1010
00:42:27,039 --> 00:42:29,106
Maybe. Maybe. They were still in there.
1011
00:42:29,141 --> 00:42:31,742
But they were rotten anyway.
And the train... The train...
1012
00:42:31,777 --> 00:42:33,377
a good wind could have blown that train.
1013
00:42:33,412 --> 00:42:34,679
It was on wheels and on the track.
1014
00:42:34,713 --> 00:42:35,746
This was a house.
1015
00:42:35,781 --> 00:42:38,950
Gentlemen, I pulled down a house.
1016
00:42:38,984 --> 00:42:40,718
It's pretty impressive.
1017
00:42:40,752 --> 00:42:42,820
You took a lot of tries, though.
1018
00:42:42,855 --> 00:42:44,822
We need to go before these people get home.
1019
00:42:44,857 --> 00:42:47,091
Okay. That's actually a good call.
1020
00:42:47,125 --> 00:42:48,726
[Cheers and applause]
1021
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,395
Gentlemen, I hope you
were paying attention,
1022
00:42:51,430 --> 00:42:54,565
because that's how you prove
you have the toughest dually.
1023
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,833
You pull down a house.
1024
00:42:55,868 --> 00:42:57,568
[Cheers and applause]
1025
00:42:57,603 --> 00:42:58,769
Yes!
1026
00:42:58,804 --> 00:43:00,204
I got to admit, I'm kind of confused
1027
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,840
at what that has to do
with having a dually.
1028
00:43:02,875 --> 00:43:06,844
Like, basically, people buy
these trucks for towing, right?
1029
00:43:06,879 --> 00:43:09,347
I'm pretty much the only one
that actually towed anything.
1030
00:43:09,381 --> 00:43:10,882
There's no description when people
look in a magazine for trucks.
1031
00:43:10,916 --> 00:43:12,149
"Let's see.
1032
00:43:12,184 --> 00:43:14,785
Has it pulled down a
house? Oh, yeah, it has."
1033
00:43:14,820 --> 00:43:16,087
[Laughter]
1034
00:43:16,121 --> 00:43:20,191
"Has it, over its load
capacity, pulled a train 8 feet?
1035
00:43:20,225 --> 00:43:21,359
Oh, that's not on there, either."
1036
00:43:21,393 --> 00:43:22,593
"Wait a minute, honey.
1037
00:43:22,628 --> 00:43:24,462
"This pulled down telephone poles.
1038
00:43:24,496 --> 00:43:25,963
This is the truck for us."
1039
00:43:25,998 --> 00:43:27,832
There's a footnote for that.
1040
00:43:27,866 --> 00:43:29,333
And for drag racing.
1041
00:43:29,368 --> 00:43:31,235
Who buys pickups for speed
1042
00:43:31,270 --> 00:43:34,539
unless you're robbing
a Walgreens in Georgia?
1043
00:43:34,573 --> 00:43:35,706
[Laughter]
1044
00:43:35,741 --> 00:43:37,508
I'll tell you who buys trucks for speed...
1045
00:43:37,543 --> 00:43:39,043
Everyone that buys a cool truck.
1046
00:43:39,077 --> 00:43:40,711
[Cheers and applause] Thank you.
1047
00:43:40,746 --> 00:43:43,781
You beat me by 4 inches, maybe.
1048
00:43:43,815 --> 00:43:46,050
Uh, I don't think that matters. I beat you.
1049
00:43:46,084 --> 00:43:48,085
You smoked the tires in the burnout,
1050
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,388
and then we tied on the truck ramp,
1051
00:43:50,422 --> 00:43:53,391
which means the Chevy is the
strongest truck in America!
1052
00:43:53,425 --> 00:43:55,259
See you next time!
1053
00:43:55,294 --> 00:43:58,930
Yeah. Yeah, it is. I'm sorry.
It's the strongest truck.
