Well yeah, thats what made it fun. I am disappointed that they didn't try to repair any of the broke trucks. Remember the bolivia special? Hammonds driveshaft fell off twice and it was still kicking.

That was great.

Sadly, you can easily tell the outcome of competitions are pre-organized. Either way, I think towing a train is way cooler than an old house or telephone poles.

Easily. And I find it hard to believe the F450 couldn't make it up that hill.

I agree with you, it did seem a little biased.

I've seen one guy pull a train with his teeth... I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything the Ford did in that segment that the other trucks couldn't do. It was entertaining though.

It was a pretty good episode.. The Ford should have won the drag race though, instead he decided to do a small burnout on take off and never did catch up although he was pretty close at the end, the dodge wasnt even close to them in the drag race . Only thing the ford sucked at was the hill climb but the rear tires were probaly bald after the awesome burnout and drifting lol
