That's the same guys from the last vid. If they really want to show how much better the Chevy is then put 7000lbs on both hitches and run both trucks up a 40 degree slope. That'll show which truck is better. Of course they won't do that because Ford builds more torque at much lower RPM's to get the load moving and keep it that way.

Such a set up too. Anything could have been done to the Ford to make it under perform?? Plus its at a Chevy event. Obviously the Chevy was meant to win. In the real world those two trucks would have just sat there and burned the tires off cause niether one of them would have moved.

I'm a little disappointed. This is a Ford site. Surely we can come up with better excuses than these. For instance.... The guy driving the Chevy weighed 600+ lbs. and had to be put into the drivers seat with a fork lift. He required 400 lbs of life support equipment, due to several serious ailments stemming from his obesity, which was installed in the bed of the truck. On the other hand, the guy driving the Ford was an anorexic midget fresh off hunger strike at Disneyland, for the discrimination against height challenged persons on the Space Mountain ride. If that's not rigging a contest I don't know what is. We was robbed!

OR maybe, and I'm just putting this out there, the Chevy guy driving the Ford let off the throttle so the Chevy could win.

You have to admit, that guy has skills though. I especially liked the way he was able to get the tires on all four corners to do burnouts while being dragged around the parking lot like an empty trailer. Keep 'em coming guys. We'll show those Chevy guys yet. They don't mess with us Ford guys and get away with it. 'Cause we is too smart for that.

did the guy driving the ford even hit the gas? didnt even look like he did to me. ive seen a few pull-offs in my day and usually both trucks lurch forward a bit and then sit there or the one with the most TRACTION moves.

those things are really all about traction, heavier truck or better tires. if you have more torque then you usually end up just spinning tires.

What a stupid **** video. Did anyone notice the car hauler in the background with the new Chevy's on it? Obviously this was done at a Chevy event of some sort. What are the odds there was a "Chevy" guy behind the wheel of the F150?
