People put those balloon tires on rams. Stop doing this. You just spread your weight out too much and you can grip. I've saw so many of these trucks in a ditch. I have normal sized but aggressive threaded tires. I put a 3/4 ton tool box in the back and goes anywhere anytime. Except on ice.....found out how useless all vehicles are on ice the hard way. Even the bobcat got stuck lol
Not just that bro those avalanches are heavy from the rear....tug of wars mainly comes down to traction amd weight ....if you would load some weight on the back of the ram it would most likely pull it
It is not an 8.l the Avalanche 2500 has an added plastic cladding on the front fenders (above the wheel) also the 2500 had "Avalanche 2500" on the cladding on both front doors. Last thing is the engine sound, definitely not a big block
The avalanche dosnt have that long and light ass end. Its a short bed with large cab giving a more even weight distribution to the wheels for better grip. Plus the 5.3L in them are pretty tough with a little work.
The Avalanche always was a goofy looking thing. It would have made for an excellent vehicle for most if they weren't so overpriced back in the day. The 2500 big block version was really neat too.
Never understood this. Pulling strength doesn't work like that. Dodge has it's weight all in the front end so it's rear end traction and weight will be less then the Chevy. Tow the same weight and time it, that's the way to test it
Simply physics actually. Yes your point included however. Because of that fact. The ram has far more power causing it to slip out and spin while the chevy looses far less grip and Continues to pull
The 1st gen Avalanche is ugly as hell, 2nd gen isn't bad though. Regardless, out of the two I prefer the Ram, it's not like anyone buys one with the intention of pulling an Avalanche anyway...
As an Avalanche owner this makes me proud. I know the Avalanche's have some trivial design issues (leaky rear window, the unfixable EVAP "leak", and the 03'-07' VCM nightmare), but they're SOLID AS F*CK where it counts... and to see my truck literally drag a dodge is so satisfying!! Watch the Avalanche vs. Ford Sport Trac & Honda Ridgeline (their attempted copies). The Chevy won literally everything vs. FORD & everything except gas milage vs. the Honda.
I loved my old Avalanche…. On that note I’m looking to buy a dodge ram warlock with hemi soon I think. That’s a great value for a pickup right now with these insane high prices but the market is finally starting to flip
The avalanche is a 2500 😂 but it up against a dodge of the same size and lets see what happen. Its always a way bigger truck when pulling dodge trucks 😂
Maybe it’s just me but judging by the back of the avalanche it looks like it has some weight in the back. The front also looks to be sitting kind of high which would suggest there’s weight in the back. Which of course would be an advantage.
I feel like the transmission mechanic won this battle.
The tire shop guy is gonna get a piece of those also
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m crying
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO UNDERATED 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Specs mattter.
Hemi vs ???
Diesel or gas
Both transmissions aged about 6 years in the making of this video.
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha! 😂😂 awesome!
I love how the Avalanche pulled the ram through its brakes too LOL.
It didn’t 😂
Hard to stop moving backwards when you get aggressive tugged needs a redo 100 percent in a pull comp it would have been redone
Ram definitely wins this debate. Redo switch drivers
Avalanche weighs lile 1100-1200 more pounds.
Put some weight in the bed of that ram.
I'm not suprised avalanches are heavy asf
Yep! I always wanted a green avalanche with off road traction.
i got one and im the original owner, bought it brand new in 2002, north face edition
@eliforbes4842 I have an 03 z71 1500 with 20" wheels and 32" tires.its pretty fun offroad.havent gotten stuck yet.
They headed to the tire shop now. 😂
With transmission leaks...
Being pulled away by and avalanche is like losing a drag race Aztec

I have the same Avalanche and same color. Love it and would never buy a pick up again.
Those Avalanches are some heavy mf's lol
I flipped mine about a month ago 🤣
Only 5700 lb with the driver but the 2500 HD little but more😂 I love mine beast in winter 2wd on balds through the snow like nothing slow but moving😂😂
I have a 2wd Durango she is a overweight 318 pee on the tire it's over.😊
Also the ugliest "pickup" to ever exist
I once helped a guy push his out of the road when his tyranny went out. I was like damn this thing is heavy just pushing it around.
It's all about weight placement and traction. Little has to do with power.
tell them again
You trippin. Yes wait placement helps but that power is what won

a 2500?

Avalanche with a big block wtf 😳
8100 vortec engine has 340 horsepower and 455 pounds of torque. She's a torque monster was produced to compete with the duramax.
And still an avalanche
For two trucks with Lego built transmission, this went surprisingly well, the 1-2 band and clutches have left the chat though

Avalanche is king respect
I agree. move over, Silverado!
Im a dodge fan boy but i grew up with a avalanche and i agree

All came down to who went first aka the avalanche. Hard for the ram to get grip while it’s being pulled

Thats why you here him try a second pulls and just gets yoinked. This guy is a dodge guy for sure
Do you own a dodge lol
By the way the avalanche is setting , it is obviously loaded was weight. Big advantage
I love my avalanche and no amount of petty insults and trash talk will change that
How about rust and transmission issues
Look. Its a god dam 8.1 big block avalanche. Absolute unit
I was thinking the same thing 5.3 to week lol 8.1 is a torque monster the last production big block Chevy engine

@@SilverloafCustomRazors awesome! Look forward to seeing some vids 👍
There’s multiple of these videos on RUclips and it’s always the avalanche that drag the shit out of the Rams
I know this is old but its only because the avalanche is less powerful. The ram just fuckin spins

@@gradysturgeon8421 That and the weight is more evenly distributed on the Avalanche.
Dodge sucks!
✌🍩
The f150 also loses to the avalanche
Ram is a rwd avalanche awd I’d the ram was a 4x4 ram would drag the shit out of that ugly ass avalanche
Dodge guys y'all can't say shit no more you got pulled by an avalanche
The dodge simply has more power causing it to slip out and spin.. whilst the avalanche looses way less grip causing it to pull.. go back to highschool

Nah ide pull it with a 2000 durango 5.9 easy with the 4wd on😂

BIG CHEVY GANG💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Yessir chevy
PUT UR VID IN SLOW MOTION..U CAN SEE FRONT TIRE SPIN..HE HAS IT ON 4X4 ..RAM IS IN 2WD
GM for the win tho ❤
N yet people still talk down on a avalanche 😬😂
Avalanche is a heavier silverado it doesn't care about bad opinions. Especially when it comes with the 8.1L

That’s old Avalanche too.
I would've never guessed the Chevy would win this. I thought because the Ram had a Hemi that it was over! 😮
That avalanche getting down

dodge: I'm red like fire - AvY: I was born in it
And people still hate on these trucks smh
Chevy Fan here, but I count 8 lug nuts on avalanche so Thad be an 8.1 vs 5.7😂
That is the wheels center cap. That Avalanche is a 1500
Chevy always outclasses a Dodge.😂
No matter I would always choose Chevy over anything. dunky dodge crap truck
OH YEAH CHEVY
Chevy is a beast team Chevy
"Look the ram lost 🤓" put some weight in the bed of the Ram.
That Avalanche was ridin more dirty than the Ram
It's rare🎉to find a GM Chevy avalanche with the 8.1 but this one's it pull the damn dives when it was breaking and everything😂😂😂
After a minute of spinning wheels you couldn't see anything no more of the Dodge disappeared and the avalanche😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Next try pulling that dodge with a Honda ridgeline 👍🏼😂
Was the Ram even in 4x4? I didn’t see any smoke from its front tires but I saw some from the Avalanche
The next day on marketplace:
Chevy Avalanche, 9,000 lightly used. Driven by a grandma who only went to church and got groceries in it. Clean truck.
Avalanche is sitting like it has weight in the trunk, have both a Dodge and Avalanche.

This is not a 2500
@@keithrogers4577the badging is on the door and a 4.8 would have lost horribly
@frightenedskillet1051 Given that I own both trucks, you are wrong about the 1500 and 2500 Avalanche
5.3 baby ftw
Why don't yall wash your trucks?
Having 4 wheel drive makes a difference.
Imagine NOT being in 4x4...
That 4l60 just went “pnnnnnnnnn” lol 🤣🤣😅
The tow strap is the clear winner.
Ooofff that’s one way to make your tiers go bald 😂
Camera man was komda bad. We can see the Chevy was in 4x4, but we couldn't see if the dodge was in 4x4.
I am a Chevy guy.But I am surprised the Avalanche beat the Dodge truck
People say I HAVE SEE TO BELIEVE. Well there ya go
So impressive to find who is lighter. ..I thought scales would be easier on a drive line..
Great test of the tire grip
Good to see chevy dominate mopar
It like a rock

I'm not surprised
I was expecting different outcome
Won't happen when one is in 4x4 and one isn't
I live how the avalanche is barely a truck and pulled that ram
This is a avalanche commercial
The weight ratio vs power to pull, easy win.
I mean i dont know what else you expected 😂
Avalanche took off before the Ram did. Obvious momentum gain
Why so much hate on the avalanche i have a 1st gen 04 its great, perfect mix between a suv and a truck
Keep watering the dodge it will grow up to be an Avalanche.😅
I wonder if the Avalanche had the big 8.0 in it.
Those Rockstars gave it the advantage....
Four wheel drive versus two wheel drive
Top comment. The vast majority of the rest are ignorant and retarded.
Re watch the video
Not fan of spark plugs , but the ram lost B4 it even started !!!!!
Honestly I thought the 1500 would've yanked the fuckin back right off the avalanche but I'm surprised at this outcome.
Tires won this battle
Chevy power dodge never stood a chance even with the breaks matted to the floor 😂
2000's trucks for the win!
The avalanche is a heavy fucker and he jumped and that ram is on spacers idk what he was thinking
I remember when I wanted a diesel too…
I be honest, I didn't have faith at the avalanche 😅
Ram had the reaction time of a 70 year old to be fair.
This only tells us which tires get better grip... and maybe that the two driving these truck don't care much about their truck to abuse them.
Its called physics
If ya'll actually pay attention in middle school lmao
The lanch moved first. Had the momentum from the get go.
You can’t Ram an Avalanche but you can dodge one? 🤔😩
I don't understand the hate on those avalanches. Fuckers have power minus losing a piston every 20k miles
Ram towing is already atrocious. Add active resistance to the mix, and this is what you get.
Chevy 😤💪🏻
Well the avalanche is the heavier vehicle and I bet it also had better tires
Don’t let these tug a wars fool you… it’s all in the tiers…!!!
Gana la Chevrolet porque se arranca primero pero sí hay un segundo juego y arranca la ram podría ser que entonces gane la Chevrolet
Now aren't you happy you don't own a dodge
Put it up against a hemi or Cummins now😅
I've seen transmissions break in the middle of those wars
