The worst part about failing the moose test in a real moose scenario is that not only is your car damaged, and likely overturned if you drive a lifted truck, but now there's a pissed-off moose coming for you. Your safest bet in that situation is to jump into a body of water that's connected to the ocean, and pray there's an orca. They don't see humans as food, because we're too small, but they're a common predator of the moose.
Imagine the Toyota "Indesit" IQ having a drag race with it, the dodge(y) would break down before it reaches the finish line because it's got the Fully American Quality™ package
The size of the tires is typically increased because it can give a little more height without adding that much more to the suspension. This increases the amount of effort the engine has to exert to achieve the same performance as smaller tires. What causes this is the increased circumference of the larger tires, they have further to roll
No, it’s not the aerodynamics. Obv it’s gonna have worse aerodynamics, but the main reason it did horrible is due to suspension stiffness. The suspension is so stiff that it can’t hook up correctly and it takes a nap while trying to launch. Has similarities to joe Biden starting a speech.
I hate stanced cars but even a heavily stanced car that'll get totalled by Pizza Hut parking lot speed bumps won't roll going through a corner like a lifted truck will
So to sum up: Flips over more than a Reliant Robin Slower than standard truck Jumps lower than standard truck Slower cornering speed than standard truck Uses more fuel
I live in an area where there abominations are common. I’ve gotten over the point of being confused about why people ruin their trucks in this way because most people fail to use any common sense when modifying their vehicles, regardless of what it is. What upsets me is how badly and dangerously the lifts are usually done. I worked as a mechanic for nearly 20 years and so many of these POS roll through the shop. There are ways to lift a truck properly, but because it’s expensive, basically nobody does it that way. They use lift blocks and spring spacers instead. I’ve seen a truck with lift blocks snap the rear leaf springs in half due to the increased leverage on the spring. They don’t do anything to correct the steering and suspension geometry and so the wheels basically flop around uncontrollably over bumps and turns. I’ve driven trucks that had more than 1/4 turn of movement in the steering wheel before anything happened. Add to that the horrific ride quality, dangerous handling, and the fact that the truck is now completely useless as a truck (too tall, requires a crane or at least a ladder to load anything into it) and it’s just a bad idea. Like I said though, I’m not biased against truck bros. The mods done on stanced cars are just as stupid, useless and dangerous.
Oh also don't forget the massive front blindspot they get. I have a flag mounted to my bike specifically to make me visible to these asswagons so they don't turn right on red and crush me in the crosswalk.
Growing up my dad always lowered his trucks. Not slammed, but barely gets by speed bumps if he slows down to a crawl. He loved the handling, and added airbags on the rear suspension for hauling. Awesome trucks and looked cool as hell.
@dingusmcgee9075 I wouldn’t say there’s anything “Mexican” about them. One was a 1990 Chevy sleeper dually in the classic pale blue, and there was his blacked out 2008 sierra “stealth truck”. Dubbed as such because it never tripped our driveway alarm while every other vehicle would.
I remember my cousin having a bagged mini truck, he later bought a big rig built to be a pickup. As a teen, I could see myself rocking either, BUT INSTEAD I GOT A FUCKING JEEP! GMC TopKick/IronHide Transformer Flat Gray Nissan(?) mini truck with basically everything done.(Bags, racing clutch, turbo, custom “JDM” extended bed, etc.)
I feel like this is something that Top Gear would have done back in the day, with Hammond championing the lifted truck while May being the voice of reason with a regular truck.
That effectively happened in The Grand Tour’s Colombia Special. Except, James decided to one-up the regular truck and managed to beat Hammond’s lifted truck in every conceivable way using a Fiat Panda, of all things. When your supposedly badass truck loses a drag race to a Fiat Panda, you really need to reconsider your life’s decisions that led you to purchasing a lift kit. lol
If i remember correctly, electric cars fair much better in Moose Test than even normal cars It's mainly thanks to the battery pack that's set lower in the care, lowering its center of gravity and making them much harder to roll in case of tight and quick turns
@@thomaschirila6372 He's saying it performs better in the moose test because it doesn't even make it to the test in the first place. It's a very simple joke to understand.
We have a Chevy that is lifted and has 36 inch tires and we use it hunting all the time. We also plow our roads with it and it’s an awesome truck we can take anywhere
Yea, the video is true but lifting the suspension gives more travel (if coils or leafs are changed) and gives opportunity to add bigger tires, which adds more offroad capabilities.
In fairness most lifted trucks aren’t lifted that high and there suspension is a little softer then that… these trucks that are being showcased have what’s seems to be Sema suspension which is more or less for the show/looks
The straightline speed difference is because the tires are bigger not only is it more unsprung weight it changes the final drive ratio. And imo a truck shouldnt be lifted more then 5 inches and if its up 5 inches it should have a 6 inch wider wheel base 3 on each side.
THANK YOU!! Instead of a pointless sky-high chassis lift, big, fluffy, all-terrain tires are the way to go. Like, the diameter of the wheel (40cm) is half what the tire is! In comparison, mud tires are heavy, (22 vs 36kg) and when paired with big wagon wheels they get even heavier, and are hard on suspension components....you saw them fly off the bro-dozers. The fun part comes in when you go over things! Since there's so much sidewall, it's nearly impossible to pinch the tire with the wheel upon impact. There's no harm in bonking your front wheels into short obstacles and popping up and over them, especially with a crawler gear. (6 to 9:1ratio) Remove half the air in the tire, (1.2ish bar) and that thick sidewall helps spread the tread underneath, giving a massive boost to grip in sand and deep snow. Just don't go too fast, (45km/h) as this will stress the tires badly.
“Why are lifted trucks so bad?” Because the centre of gravity is lifted and so they tip over easily, with the additional weight needing more engine power, video done
They say “the weight of an average man’s penis would be more than enough to stabilise the truck during the moose test.” Unfortunately, this is something most lifted drivers lack.
Yeah these trucks are lifted to the extreme I will stand by a 2 to 3 inch will not cause as much adverse effects on is handling however when you live in an area where the road is dirt rocks and trees often litter the roads it can be nice to have not these show truck lifts But one to improve its off-road ability
The biggest reason for performance losses of a lifted truck are 1. Increased weight, 2. Increased rotating mass from larger wheels, and the one no one thinks about, 3. The driveline is either no longer in phase or the sharper angle of the phasing means torque is lost due to the more extreme and varying directions the torque is being applied through
A lifted truck (or lifted anything) for normal everyday use is absolutely stupid. These people turn great functional vehicles into dangerous non-functional vehicles. Like, who wants to put a load into the bed when you can barely reach. Time to blow out your lower back! 🤣 It's all show and a trend that is about as dumb as it gets.
@@justiceforjoggers2897 I agree. I have a Toyota Tacoma but I also have an EV. I only drive the Tacoma when I need to pull my RV trailer or haul bikes and other stuff. But at 17 MPG and 22 MPG Highway it's pretty wasteful and I can't wait to get an EV or Hybrid Truck/SUV that gets way better mileage.
@@tyttuut It's 2022, it should be a lot better by now. The technology is there and with how much pickup trucks cost now days, they should be getting low 20s in the city and upper 20s on the highway. The only reason they don't get better fuel economy is because they are high profit low technology vehicles that the auto industry can sell at ridiculously high prices because people want to be more prominent on the road.
0:47 the reason why the lifted truck leaned so much is because the center of mass was in the truck’s body, so that part was heavier than the suspension altogether.
This is a dumb comparison. The lifted trucks here are just show trucks and Sema builds not built for the purpose of a daily. Normally when built like these their not stock motors either. Regular lifts are from 2 to 10 inch lift kits for our normal daily driven lifted population
It would have done better in the jump if you hadn’t swerved but also it’s slower and gets worse fuel mileage bc I’m sure you didn’t regear it after you put the bigger tires on it
I like to equate a Lifted to a Low-Rider (just higher not lower) as both are designed to be show and slow. However, there are two problems with this comparison: 1) Those who drive lifted trucks are anything but cool and respectable. 2) We already have a "super cool lifted vehicle with huge rims" - A Donk.
Clearly nobody here understands why lifted trucks are driven. I work at an off-road park, I go two tracking on every weekend, and the big truck actually has good handling in the snow and ice. Most trucks have sway bars so the body roll "moose" test is not accurate, it is slower because of the larger tires, which is not a problem for me bc i don't need to go fast off-road and it does just fine on the highway. Everyone is acting like lifted trucks are some sort of problem and that they somehow effect your lives when they are really not hurting you at all.
Technically that’s not even a pro of the lifted truck, cause you can just get a snorkel for your engine and do that with a regular truck too. *especially in beamng*
My vehicle has a 4 inch rough country lift on it and it does better then what it did when it was stock plus lifted trucks helps go through deep water and helps offloading
Lifted as it should be but the people who make these show trucks could never survive off-roading there just money pits pavement princesses and it’s always some douche bag driving that makes all of us who genuinely build a truck right look stupid
I once read an article by a professional snowboarder who regularly toured by road in the winter and his opinion was any large passenger car well serviced and with the right tyre setup was adequate for 99% of his needs🧐
Most people tune a truck after lifting it to that extreme of a height…they use much wider tires to compensate for the body roll…this test is inaccurate as most trucks only get a 2-4” lift and use 12-14” wide tires..your video has trucks with 8-10” lifts with stock tire width and stock spacing…not to mention…most trucks with lifts upgrade the wheel hubs and axles and wheel studs to ensure the wheels won’t fall off
As someone who drives a lifted truck daily I can vouch that they do drive worse than a standard truck, but also all of the lifts in this video was bad lifts. I have tried the moose test in my truck and it passed, it is slower because of bad aerodynamics and extra weight, my cornering speed is faster, and jumps are no issues. You just have to find the right lift for the job. Also the reason I put a lift on my truck in the first place is because I own rice farms and it is the easiest way to get tools out to broken equipment in the field
That’s only if the truck is lifted that much and the wheels are usually bigger for the reason of flipping and better tread when off-roading and they usually have more upgrades that would actually make it faster than a regular truck
The only reason to lift a truck that high 1 its a rock crawler they usually have alot of suspension but still aren't that tall or 2 mud trucks but they don't drive on the highway
Tbh..the jump is better in a lifted truck…everything crumbling like that means you dont feel the impact…the more something crushes the less force is felt…but there has to be a balance of strenth to slow down the impact enough to not send the crunch zone straight into you…ex the engine flying into the cab or your back compressing and exploding from a drop such as a jump
Should do regular crash tests with those lifted trucks as well. Show how unbelievably dangerous they are. They will never contact another vehicle where they are designed to be hit. People like to laugh when their trucks hit a car and the car is obliterated and the truck has a scuff. That's because you hit the part of the car that isn't designed to be hit by the part of another vehicle that IS designed to take impact. If a truck got hit above their rebar they'd fall apart as well. Nothing like frame ends and a rebar impacting a cars hood or windshield.
No one should have to make anyone care. It should be up to the individual to see a huge safety hazard and find ways to keep the appearance they like while making them less deadly. In a perfect world anyways.
lifted trucks are like guns, they only make sense for certain situations, guns are good for going to the gun range, hunting and self defense, lifted trucks are good for going offroading, truck shows and for if there is a midget apocalypse, because then they cant get in your truck 😂
they think it looks cool and there is a function for it the bigger the wheels the higher the clearance so the bigger rocks you can drive over off road it’s the same thing as having your car very very low it works on a track but sucks for regular roads with potholes it’s the same exact thing but opposite they all have a meaning and a purpose but usually people just think they look cool
As someone who lives out in the country and lives on a ranch the only good thing a lift is good for like a 2/8 inch is bigger mud tires and taking jumps or just getting around the ranch/farm better the only thing a sema lift witch is what’s in the video is good for is nothing
Nobody daily drives a Truck with a 12 inch plus lift. 99.9 percent of people drive trucks with a much smaller lift, that gives more benefits than drawbacks. You should be making fun of squatted trucks.
Share this to a lifted-truck driver and I bet they will either feel embarrassed and stupid for dropping thousands on dollars into making a deathtrap, or they will become stiff-necked and claim that you're just a hater.

The moose test comparison missed a key point. If the speed limit is 60mph, the lifted truck is going at least 85.

2:16 I got a better joke :those wheels snap off quicker than you lose your girlfriend
I love this. Thanks for sharing.
The only reason to lift a truck that high 1 its a rock crawler they usually have alot of suspension but still aren't that tall or 2 mud trucks but they don't drive on the highway
Tbh..the jump is better in a lifted truck…everything crumbling like that means you dont feel the impact…the more something crushes the less force is felt…but there has to be a balance of strenth to slow down the impact enough to not send the crunch zone straight into you…ex the engine flying into the cab or your back compressing and exploding from a drop such as a jump
Should do regular crash tests with those lifted trucks as well. Show how unbelievably dangerous they are. They will never contact another vehicle where they are designed to be hit. People like to laugh when their trucks hit a car and the car is obliterated and the truck has a scuff. That's because you hit the part of the car that isn't designed to be hit by the part of another vehicle that IS designed to take impact. If a truck got hit above their rebar they'd fall apart as well. Nothing like frame ends and a rebar impacting a cars hood or windshield.
No one should have to make anyone care. It should be up to the individual to see a huge safety hazard and find ways to keep the appearance they like while making them less deadly. In a perfect world anyways.
States have maximum bumper heights for a reason.
The tune on that lift looks like you're driving on broken stilts lmao
Now I want to see a lifted four wheel pigeon
lifted trucks when they hit a pothole:
lifted trucks are like guns, they only make sense for certain situations, guns are good for going to the gun range, hunting and self defense, lifted trucks are good for going offroading, truck shows and for if there is a midget apocalypse, because then they cant get in your truck 😂
finally someone said it and i’m happy to be the third one here i love your channel keep it up bro
3rd
Many of us have said it for years
This video makes me confirm whoever makes these videos are definitely not even old enough to drive
0:47 higher center of gravity caused this, yet I fail to realize why people want ridiculously lifted trucks
they think it looks cool and there is a function for it the bigger the wheels the higher the clearance so the bigger rocks you can drive over off road it’s the same thing as having your car very very low it works on a track but sucks for regular roads with potholes it’s the same exact thing but opposite they all have a meaning and a purpose but usually people just think they look cool
@@nick7928 yeah offroading is pretty much the only benefit
@@yuuycockdemnations69420 but the rims are often way too big for offroading and ive never seen a video of someone offroading one
@@bobedibob3084 I have, but the modifications were done correctly (more tire than rim)
@@yuuycockdemnations69420 and still bad at it probably
Now let's see the off-road, mud, and deep water tests..
💯
Because the center of gravity is higher the momentum in side directions is stronger and is likely to fall over.
Okay, hear me out.
LiftABLE system, for swamps and such.
Why was it so funny to see that dust come from the back at 2:20
That’s why the idea behind a lifted truck is you don’t have to swerve. You just drive right over it
Low gas mileage ain’t anything new to me I get 9 mpg
4:21 the blue truck
Yea see me break dance babyy
I wish I could here your voice too mate. Good videos as always. I learn from ya!
Ridiculous ass tests💀 let’s use a monster truck and call it lifted
As someone who lives out in the country and lives on a ranch the only good thing a lift is good for like a 2/8 inch is bigger mud tires and taking jumps or just getting around the ranch/farm better the only thing a sema lift witch is what’s in the video is good for is nothing
You should do squatted trucks💀
With a lifted truck that big the only moose test is how fast you can go full throttle
whats the lifted truck mod called i used to have it but deleted it on accident and never was able to find it what name
Is that a custom version of the jump ramp track? The jump road is much thinner on my one.
It is a lot bigger. You can see the fire things are still at the same place they are in the normal, wich means that it's like 3 times bigger.
Monster trucks: imma pretend i didnt hear this
So basically they are the slammed cars of the truck world.
We don’t build them for speed we build them for looks and fun
LIFTED TRUCKS ARE FOR SHOW ONLY!!!! you are right about the facts that you stated in this video tho.
I would like to take this opportunity to point out the Carolina Squat originated in South Carolina.
It's always fun to remember that folks will spend hundreds on a lift kit just to advertise their dirt allergy
Nobody daily drives a
Truck with a 12 inch plus lift. 99.9 percent of people drive trucks with a much smaller lift, that gives more benefits than drawbacks. You should be making fun of squatted trucks.
I didnt expect that ending
Share this to a lifted-truck driver and I bet they will either feel embarrassed and stupid for dropping thousands on dollars into making a deathtrap, or they will become stiff-necked and claim that you're just a hater.
Those dislikes are only form guys that drive lifted trucks
