I missed it. I am officially the last person in the USA without a DVR.

Who/what won?

No one, but it was hilarious watching them beat on 3 brand new duallys with some of the things they put them through.

Definitely fun to watch! As the others said, nobody won. It was fun to see an F450 doing donuts and a burnout though!

Nobody won but you could definitely tell the Dodge didn't do nearly as cool as stuff I mean 6 tries to pull a support beam out on a condemned house

They never announced a winner, but at the end they had the ford on the background of the crowd. But it wasn't even a good test. They all did different tests for the towing power, and the only one that impressed me was the ford pulling a 280k lb train. The chevy couldn't even do a burnout and it took the dodge 6 tries to pull down a rotted house.

Agree 100 percent and the Ford had bad tires when it came to the hill climb and the Dodge wasn't even close in the drag race looked like a football field behind the duramax and the powerstroke

The UK Top Gear is a awesome car show but they talk bad about America too much. I think the USA Top Gear should revisit that truck episode and do even contests. Like 0-60 then back to 0 hauling some heavy, rediculous loads.

Yeah but in Top Gear fashion it was more of a comedy series to accomplish a task than competitively show off the true nature of older trucks.
