Definitely more of a ram guy than anything else but that ZR2 surprised me, at the end of the day I think that's the best bang for your buck. performed really well.
I am a ford guy and I tend to agree. Still love that raptor though. The zr2 is definitely better suited for off road in heavy forest paths. It can squeeze through places the other two can't.
Yep, big behometh trucks tearing up trails and backroads are what's closing them each and every year. ZR2 traverses the back country without leaving carnage, and that's a good thing for ALL of us!
Heavy duty's have their place in mostly fleets. Half tons are alright for most everything. Mid sized trucks are for those that want to park in the city and still have those offroading capabilities.
"Getting stuck? Power Wagon no care!" I had such a good laugh. Thanks Nathan, for using the Power Wagon as part of your off-road comedy act. Truly hilarious!
I like the fact that you can buy two ZR2's for almost the price of one fully loaded Raptor!! Think about that you can buy one to trash off-road and one to drive everyday.
Or for me, I’m saving up to get a diesel ZR2 for off-road/daily and to tow my FR-S to the track after I graduate. That’s all going to be a lot cheaper than a raptor (and I will already have had 7 years of the FR-S as my daily).
Bought my Xtra cab 2020 V6 ZR2 for $37,500 OTD.....really looked long & hard at s Raptor.....but the turbos & systems complexity made me shy away. Sold my 1998 ZR2 after 168,000 miles....not sure if the 2020 will go that far....the old ZR2 was 5speed manual and still going strong....well maintained throughout its life and still making the new owner happy!
All three of those trucks are amazing, could you guys take a Ram 1500 4x4, Chevy or GMC 1500 4x4 and a Ford F150 4x4 with no special after market upgrades, that would be interesting.
All badass trucks when you get down to it and each truck has its own place and does it's own thing really well, but the diesel ZR2 is the winner for me.
Nik Sikkema the ZR-2 is by far the best prices, but if money wasn't part of the equation I have to go with the Ford Raptor for its off road abilities...........too bad I can't afford an $80,000 truck.
@@DrDoerk less off road ability than the zr2 for many reasons. However the raptor is excellent if you want to pretend its a real baja truck and bend the frame upon landing.
Nothing better than listening to Nathan in video after video talk about how incredible the power wagon is... and then watch it fail while the two humble dudes drive past with a smile.
Those front differential gears can't mesh unless they are aligned. All you have to do to get a rapid lock up is to 1) put in low range, 2) engage front locker, 3) turn the front wheels to full lock (either way), 4) move slowly front or backwards. The locker will now engage because the 2 front tires are moving at different speeds and that will allow the differential lock to engage. Worked on my PW ever time.
I don’t understand people giving the Powerwagon so much shit. Number 1: The Powerwagon has been up Dare without any issue many times before this video, so many of you must not watch the videos. Number 2: Idk what the hell was with Nathan, but he was NOT driving that thing the way it should up a hill like that. Floors a 7,000 lb truck and doesn’t expect it to lose all momentum and traction, I was left flabbergasted. The Powerwagon is a crawler and is advertised as such, not a “spool me up and hope I skim across the surface with speed” truck.
Yeah Taylon, that was half driver error and the other half tires. They are too small to begin with, but I've never got the impression that TFL knows how to air-down correctly.
Whether or not it made it in the past is irrelevant. The trail was clearly tore up more than in the past, the challenge was elevated. The Dodge didn't stand up to the challenge the way the Chevy and Ford did.
Brandon Comer - What do you mean it was ‘irrelevant ‘? Douche. Was it not turning all four 33’s? Did Nathan pay attention to his line? Sorry, I’m in the tire industry, and that was the failure (and Nathan’s cockiness) not the truck. Now go change your tampon
IWrocker i agree, watching the tires as Nathan was attempting to climb, i could see he needed aired down more. But, to go that low, and on those rocks, I'd rather be on the Ko2's the Raptor had. I have Firestone riderite air bags on rear of my 16 PW and pull 12,000 lbs (26' PJ deckover tilt and the load on it) and those factory 8ply Goodyears just can't handle sharp rocks after they're half tread or less while carrying a heavy load. I lost 3 tires in less than a month to sharp marble sized rocks that pierced a half inch slit through the cords on the middle of the face of each one, just driving dirt roads in rural Nebraska. Went with 10 ply tires and never happened again. Granted Nathan had no load but there is a night and day difference between sidewalls of GY Wranglers and Ko2's and i think aired down more he would've ruined the GY's. Ya, I agree, he'd a made it with different shoes on. Have to admit, the Raptor and Colorado whipped a** though!
Bob Vincent well said yes I ditched my GY tires quick too, then the truck really livened up, mine has been a monster ever since. Just better driver technique and airing down woulda done the trick. I agree the raptor and ZR2 did very good tho. Its a great time for off-road enthusiasts!
I think Raptor is king but the ZR2 is closer competition then previously thought! For the money that little truck is nasty. Gonna have to do more videos Raptor vs ZR2!!!
67k truck vs a 43k truck, don't care how you cut it that is a chunk of change. Only place the Chevy Struggled was that first hill due to he followed the line the dodge went that messed up the trail and dug holes.
Jonathan Reed the Raptor is a terrible riding on road vehicle the ZR2 is superior it is because the Raptor is set up for off-road more than the ZR2 if you were to enlarge the tires fatter on the ZR2 it would be unquestionably still great writing on the road and Superior off-road than a raptor no doubt you can't argue that fact because physics and everything else considered there is no way I can be wrong about it the Chevy ZR2 is the superior truck in every single way
Lol.... Then I guess you've driven in both? I have, raptor is better in most situations where being small isn't critical. Been there done it end of story. I'm not partial to ford either my next truck will probably be a ram.
I like the raptor but cant even argue that pound for pound dollar to dollar. The zr2 is king .. If i was in a market for one id strongly consider the zr2 over the raptor because of the savings, similar ascetic, and similar proformance
If you track off-road comp tests, the Raptor nearly always wins. Regardless of your brand loyalty, Ford does a great job on their trucks. Chevy and Ram damn good too though.
Not mine sadly... Piece of crap,ive had so many issues with it, worst was losing heat twice mid winter when I needed it most. Not a reliable truck but flashy. Trading mine in for a Ranger Raptor or Tacoma TRD Pro if I can afford it, I need a reliable vehicle. I though this would workout but marketing got the best of me.
makattak88 Sure! Look, the Colorado and the canyon are just rebadged versions of the Isuzu DMax. Before the Colorado was the s-10 and before it was the Chevy luv. The only change is the grill and logos.
This was a good episode. I'd be interested to see how an F-150 with FX4 package (can get one at a much better price than the Raptor) does on Cliffhanger 2.0. And perhaps compare that to a Chevy 1500 with z71 or Sierra 1500 All-Terrain X. Thanks!
It’s amazing the features available from the factory these days. Just ten years ago this stuff was all aftermarket. That’s kinda cool. That dodge would be scary out in the bush. Even for the video it wasn’t gonna lock up. They just can’t build a reliable vehicle.
Because it is a joke of a truck for 40k in the off-road category. Heck, they even want the electronics to do the job for you lmfao. What true off-roader wants that?
You’ll never convince a TRD Pro owner that they aren’t the best. They always pull the reliability card out. But the truth is the Tacoma is on CR’s list of unreliable vehicles for 2017. And what makes things worse is the dumbasses are paying up to 15 grand over msrp for a truck that’s in 2nd place. Doesn’t make any sense.
I have the 16 power wagon and I've found the traction control works better than the lockers in heavy rock situation. The ECM stops the tire before it digs a hole or throws a rock. Once you spin the tires in rocks, it's over.
CHEVY DID THE BEST, THEN FORD, THEN DODGE IN LAST PLACE. Looks like it was really weight based results with the loose stone. Dodge also had problems with the front locker not engaging. I have owned all 3 makes and its Chevy or GMC for me now.
Derek that would depend on what you want to use the truck for. Myself for me now i want comfort, gas mileage, and reliability. Because of where i live i also want a 4x4.
You're asking truck advice from a guy that thinks reliability is important and says Chevy is the best. You should really be looking at Toyota's Tacoma/Tundra or Ford's F150 if you're looking full size. Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that from experience the Frontier is a good, capable mid size truck. Best advice is to stay as far FAR away from Chevy and GMC as you can though.
GREAT video! While I like all these trucks, the higher payload and towing capacities of the Power Wagon make it more useful then the others. Like the old saying, "Every dog has its day!"
Yes, and let it be available on several different trims / engines. Would be nice for those of us who want to use a vehicle for it is designed for, and does NOT need all the fancy gadgets.
GM need to build the Silverado ZR2. That would be amazing. The also need to improve the ground clearance and the rear shocks mounting to low on the diff on the Colorado.
With electronic locking differentials on trucks and 4 wheelers, sometimes they will not engage because both of the axle shafts need to be in the right spot to lock in. This can usually be accomplished by driving a little bit and turning the wheel, causing one tire to rotate at a different speed than the other one and thus lining up the axle shafts.
00ttvr6 If they damage the trucks they won’t get anymore from the manufactures. Remember they damaged a Subaru long ago and they no longer get cars from them.
One thing to remember about the ram is that unlike the other two you can get a power wagon package on the tradesman. You'll get a lot of the off-road features without paying the $60000. MSRP for the tradesman with the power wagon package is $43000
I think they will do this probably for the 2019 model. They already are developing high-performance aftermarket parts for the ZR2 including longer travel shocks and a 1.5 body lift to fit bigger tires. It surely will be a raptor Killer then.
Even in an unfair test the ZR2 easily won. Not very fair 2 make the smallest truck drive through the big pot holes the Ram/Raptor made. That Ram is junk, first the locking differential malfunctions and then it gets stuck, Chrysler just can't build reliable vehicles. These trucks are great in their own ways, the Colorado is great for tight trails, Raptor is great at dessert running and the Ram is good for little guys who wanna look tough.
Yet the previous Colorado was shit. Also comments the other manufacturer. I have no doubt a Tacoma can take a zr2. I really don't care for small trucks.
The truth is the raptor platform has been around for many years now. None of the other major manufacturers have been able to design and build a half ton with capabilities matching the Raptor. They have had lots of time, what have they been doing? lol How special will the ZR2 be when Ford Ranger Raptors hit the street? The Ranger Raptor will destroy the midsize truck category and set a whole new benchmark for off road vehicles. Everyone prepare yourselves for the channel to become big raptor vs small raptor ! Love TFL, keep up the good work
Personally a fan of full size trucks, but the Chevy is just gonna be more fun doing this stuff and no Chevy fan ,but give credit where it is due, the zr2 has come in to make a mark. Then the price difference in these trucks, gotta pick the Chevy for overall win. Raptor nice, but pulling the big v8 was a mistake, I do not trust that overpowered , overworked, twin turbo v6 long term. All capable vehicles though. Fun matchup . Andre and Nathan surely landed themselves one heck of a gig to call a JOB, I envy them for sure, so much fun at WORK.
mohammadkwt I know that you are a garbage...Fiat and Ram are beautiful and strong cars in their class ..try to get a Ram 2500 or 1500 or 1200 and see in your eyes
Fadi Jiha where have you been ? Chrysler been shit since year 2000 , owned by fiat got more shitty & no need to own any of their products unless if I want to be in a garage 24/7 , don’t to explain the whole thing because I’ve seen enough.
mohammadkwt I am in Syria..i bought a fiat cars called Sienna it's beautiful , strong, and fixed on the road ..i have 256000 km and I don't have problems and Issues...and FIAT buy Chrysler in 2009 not in 2000...i can't understand why you dislike their cars and if you have problems and listen from the people you should go to FIAT Chrysler company and explain your problems and Issues ,that make the company fix and maintain these problems, go and talk with the company and later the company will fix it
Nathan: "Power Wagon dont care."....well, it seems the PW cared a whole lot and couldnt make it up the hill at all. After the PW dug some gnarly holes the Raptor and ZR2 barely blinked which is impressive. Im glad Dare took some wind out of the PWs sails because it is not the most capable offroad truck. Ill take my 17 Raptor over the PW anyday because after a bit of rock crawling I can take it down some logging roads at 75mph and have a blast. The PW is just too heavy, underpowered, and doesnt have the suspension for all around offroad fun.
Disagree haha it didn't make it but switch drivers and I'm sure it would. All y'all put so much stock into one test haha shit I got proof the PW can do wonders , I scaled an almost vertical rock wall in my Power Wagon at the Badlands. I got video proof. Ya win some and lose some. I win some 😎
I appreciate Andre's enthusiasm and overall good attitude. Humble guy.
truckguyjoe in Soviet Russia....
I think this channel has an overall cool crew. Only real popular channel that I like.
It would be cool if andre say something in Russian once in a while, like in the beginning.
Agree!
It seems like he's just happy to be on the trail, no matter what happens.
POWERWAGON DONT CARE! *few seconds later* *gets stuck* ok the powerwagon does care a little 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
shut up

Power Wagon don't care. Physics do...
CMac the tires did to
It should be “FORD RAPTOR DONT CARE” 😂
sultan aldhaheri "Ford raptor don't care" (because it's way lighter)
Power Wagon cared quite a bit...
Power Wagon don't care.. because they didn't use the best equipment to get up the hill, the winch..
The Zr2 is extremely impressive going up that after the ford and dodge tore up the track making it a lot harder
Tyson Reid , agreed
And it made it look easy.
Yep, big behometh trucks tearing up trails and backroads are what's closing them each and every year. ZR2 traverses the back country without leaving carnage, and that's a good thing for ALL of us!
I would say that they cleared up the track a bit for the Colorado by going over it lol
PistolStar21 Yeah i would say they leveled it for the colorado to just go up
Heavy duty's have their place in mostly fleets. Half tons are alright for most everything. Mid sized trucks are for those that want to park in the city and still have those offroading capabilities.
That's why I'm thinking about mid size trucks.
And if you go with a diesel colorado you can still tow 7700 lbs. What's not to like about that.
"Getting stuck? Power Wagon no care!" I had such a good laugh. Thanks Nathan, for using the Power Wagon as part of your off-road comedy act. Truly hilarious!

This is probably my favorite video that y'all have released. Good stuff guys.
Agreed for sure
Dear TFL Truck,
The world wants to see the diesel zr2.
MrSapper21 I believe they already made an episode with the zr2 diesel. It was a fan who took his and he drove it uptake course.
his was also a gas v6
MrSapper21 silly me sorry
Yes!!
its already happend

The colorado in diesel bison zr2 trim is the best off roading truck in history.
@@DrDoerk less off road ability than the zr2 for many reasons. However the raptor is excellent if you want to pretend its a real baja truck and bend the frame upon landing.

The raptor is the benchmark, that's why
It should be “FORD RAPTOR DONT CARE” 😂
sultan aldhaheri not until it gets a v8 option.
Basically its everything vs. Ford. They hate ford
There is always a problem with a Ram truck. It is built by Fiat which is an acronym for ...
Fix It Again Tony.
It’s built in Mexico, fix it again Tito
Great video. I don't think any of us are surprised about the Price Wagon.
Those front differential gears can't mesh unless they are aligned.

When are we getting shirts that say "Power Wagon don't care!" ?
When the Power Wagon stops getting stuck. lol
ledzeppelin27 awesome shaaaade! 👍😂
Saying that & with his face on the shirt would be funny
I'm gonna get myself an AWD diesel truck with automatic some day. I just love how chill they are..

The front lockers don't really help you get out of a jam if you have to drive further to use them.
Isbyourvname a mix of chevrolet and Kawasaki if so i like it alot.
😂
The zr2. Did well with the bid boys and it's way cheaper.
Sorry but I am confident my Power Wagon on 37" Toyos could make it up cliffhanger dare side. All the Wagon needs is better tires
I think they are to heavy for that
IWrocker I agree. I think he could have aired down more too. If you ever swing down to Texas let’s show everyone how capable the PW really is.
Wagon Life amen to that brotha! I'd love to wheel with ya and show em how it's done 👍😎

No, ford great, Chevy damn good, and dodge isn't even on the radar. Like I have always said, dodge hasn't made a decent pickup since the 80's

2 mins into the video ram is already having problems 😂😂
the exhaust on the Ram looks like an after thought, like oh we'll just shove this over here.
Negative on the ground clearance with the power wagon. Measure the rear differential. Probably have the least
Not gonna lie, this show just made me a patron supporter. I’ll pay $5 a month to be able to watch stuff like this whenever I want!
+Eighty cc thank you!
Wowzers.
You dam 90's kids..
Can't get enough of these videos
Wow the ZR2 beat the Raptor on the Dare challenge no problem, ZR2 is a clear winner here
I love that the Colorado kept up with the big boys no problem. For the money its just awesome
I don't like GM but that ZR2 is a cool truck.
makattak88 don’t worry, the ZR2 is not GM is a Isuzu DMax.
Explain.

Oh my... the dreaded Locker Flashing lights on the Power Wagon. My Power Wagon lockers do the same as viewers of my channel have seen on mine. 🙄
Kevin Noll yea unfortunately mine started flashing 24/7 a few months back and always flashes every time I drive it
Check the manual, it tells you why it does that, you do not have to get a anything replaced, mine did it one time..
I could not get the locker to engage on a new one either
I was just wondering WTF is he turning on lockers before he starts, he didn't even need them yet. Clear indication of NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
Man the PowerWagon and the Raptor look mad mean!
It’s amazing the features available from the factory these days. Just ten years ago this stuff was all aftermarket. That’s kinda cool. That dodge would be scary out in the bush. Even for the video it wasn’t gonna lock up. They just can’t build a reliable vehicle.

It was and amazing video. I had a lot of fun! Many thanks guys!
Guyproulx must be punching holes in his walls since his beloved Tacoma isn't even in the top tier of off-roaders anymore haha. Oh well! Go ZR2!
Why? Because a few guys on RUclips don't include the tacoma in their video? You're funny lol
Because it is a joke of a truck for 40k in the off-road category. Heck, they even want the electronics to do the job for you lmfao. What true off-roader wants that?
Rumor is TFLT didn't enter the TuRD Pro because their getting fed up of all it's fans complaining about how it always finishes last.
Truth hurts.
You’ll never convince a TRD Pro owner that they aren’t the best. They always pull the reliability card out. But the truth is the Tacoma is on CR’s list of unreliable vehicles for 2017.

I have the 16 power wagon and I've found the traction control works better than the lockers in heavy rock situation. The ECM stops the tire before it digs a hole or throws a rock. Once you spin the tires in rocks, it's over.
CHEVY DID THE BEST, THEN FORD, THEN DODGE IN LAST PLACE. Looks like it was really weight based results with the loose stone. Dodge also had problems with the front locker not engaging. I have owned all 3 makes and its Chevy or GMC for me now.
New to truck market, what is the most important feature that should be considered regardless of brand when buying a half ton truck?
Derek that would depend on what you want to use the truck for. Myself for me now i want comfort, gas mileage, and reliability. Because of where i live i also want a 4x4.
You're asking truck advice from a guy that thinks reliability is important and says Chevy is the best. You should really be looking at Toyota's Tacoma/Tundra or Ford's F150 if you're looking full size. Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that from experience the Frontier is a good, capable mid size truck. Best advice is to stay as far FAR away from Chevy and GMC as you can though.
B T , Thank you! for your fine wisdom. he did say regardless of brand.
If you have any concern over reliability with the current truck market do some research > ruclips.net/video/MAkfiVkBP_Q/видео.htmlm47s
Lol love how you guys did a send it up the dare side.
The Raptor made quick work of the of the dare
Everything you guys just did i would do in my 2000 ford explorer
ZR2 Rocks the rocks!
GREAT video! While I like all these trucks, the higher payload and towing capacities of the Power Wagon make it more useful then the others. Like the old saying, "Every dog has its day!"
It's the raptor
Honey Badger called. He wants his “don’t care” meme back.
ZR2 all the way!!
I'm a chevy guy but I really like that Raptor. That is an awesome truck. Wouldn't mind having one.
I hope GM comes out with a Silverado 1500 full size truck with a front locking differential like the ZR2. I believe it would be a great seller for GM.
Yes, and let it be available on several different trims / engines. Would be nice for those of us who want to use a vehicle for it is designed for, and does NOT need all the fancy gadgets.
GM need to build the Silverado ZR2. That would be amazing. The also need to improve the ground clearance and the rear shocks mounting to low on the diff on the Colorado.
I would settle for better ground clearance
Roy Giller have you heard of chevys reaper?
alex malafy I don't believe the Reapers have the front locking differential, do they?
Love that little Colorado!
Zr2 !!!!!!!!
All awesome trucks, great editing and funny hosts. FLT and coffee==a nice morning.
Nothing drives like a Chevy 😎😎
Yea nothing breaks down like a Chevy
Thank goodness! 🤣
With electronic locking differentials on trucks and 4 wheelers, sometimes they will not engage because both of the axle shafts need to be in the right spot to lock in. This can usually be accomplished by driving a little bit and turning the wheel, causing one tire to rotate at a different speed than the other one and thus lining up the axle shafts.
“Gonna pop a tire” says the little girl. Lol.

If they damage the trucks they won’t get anymore from the manufactures.
Remember they damaged a Subaru long ago and they no longer get cars from them.
00ttvr6,
That comment, really?

00ttvr6 you're a BITCH
One thing to remember about the ram is that unlike the other two you can get a power wagon package on the tradesman. You'll get a lot of the off-road features without paying the $60000. MSRP for the tradesman with the power wagon package is $43000
If only the ZR2 had 5.3 liter....
I think they will do this probably for the 2019 model. They already are developing high-performance aftermarket parts for the ZR2 including longer travel shocks and a 1.5 body lift to fit bigger tires. It surely will be a raptor Killer then.
No thanks 2.8 Duramax
Naaa leave it as 3.5 v6 its part of the charm of having a small pick up
Yes!!!!🤘🏼
@@mikemissouri5152 that would be cool. I love ford but, I will admit that the 5.3 is one hell of a motor. They run FOREVER
Fabulous Off Road Demon!
Even in an unfair test the ZR2 easily won. Not very fair 2 make the smallest truck drive through the big pot holes the Ram/Raptor made. That Ram is junk, first the locking differential malfunctions and then it gets stuck, Chrysler just can't build reliable vehicles.
These trucks are great in their own ways, the Colorado is great for tight trails, Raptor is great at dessert running and the Ram is good for little guys who wanna look tough.
Yet the previous Colorado was shit. Also comments the other manufacturer. I have no doubt a Tacoma can take a zr2. I really don't care for small trucks.
u suck dodges rule
My 05 GMC Jimmy is also a ZR2, awesome vid.
Zr2 and raptor all the way
As soon as I saw Nathan, I was like: he's going to drive the POWER WAGON
Typical Dodge. Almost works.
00 Coyote this made me laugh.
😭😭😭😭
The truth is the raptor platform has been around for many years now. None of the other major manufacturers have been able to design and build a half ton with capabilities matching the Raptor. They have had lots of time, what have they been doing? lol How special will the ZR2 be when Ford Ranger Raptors hit the street? The Ranger Raptor will destroy the midsize truck category and set a whole new benchmark for off road vehicles. Everyone prepare yourselves for the channel to become big raptor vs small raptor ! Love TFL, keep up the good work
Less weight, less size, less everything but capabilities! The winner!!!COLORADO ZR2!!!!
Impressive win for sure.
K. R. V. Lol no
ZR2 one this for sure in my opinion
K. R. V. RAPTOR more power, better suspension, amazing exterior design, more features= Raptor the king of trucks.
big yee too big to be a contender. The form factor of a midsize makes the Colorado the instant winner
Personally a fan of full size trucks, but the Chevy is just gonna be more fun doing this stuff and no Chevy fan ,but give credit where it is due, the zr2 has come in to make a mark. Then the price difference in these trucks, gotta pick the Chevy for overall win. Raptor nice, but pulling the big v8 was a mistake, I do not trust that overpowered , overworked, twin turbo v6 long term. All capable vehicles though. Fun matchup . Andre and Nathan surely landed themselves one heck of a gig to call a JOB, I envy them for sure, so much fun at WORK.
Powerwagon no care!
A few moments later
Powerwagon got stock
One of the best Power Wagon fanboy moments every......dual lockers and STILL got stuck!! And both the others made it......classic!!!!
ZR2 ftw!
To be honest all the trucks tested is a winner imagine combining all 3 into 1 capable beast of a off raod truck
FORD ALL THE WAY. Guess bigger is not always better.
Then why does the ford have the biggest tires?
For better grip with more rim than tires they can pop more easier
It should be “FORD RAPTOR DONT CARE” 😂
sultan aldhaheri but the raptor cares more than the power wagon though haha
Stefan Santokhie take em in the mud..or the bush...the raptor dies
Still love the power wagon! Loved the video guys, I like the comparisons, because nobody else really does them the way you do, very cool
The RAM dug a hole quickly like a tank.
mohammadkwt you are shit why talk about ram
Fadi Jiha lol fiat ram is garbage what do you know ?
mohammadkwt I know that you are a garbage...Fiat and Ram are beautiful and strong cars in their class ..try to get a Ram 2500 or 1500 or 1200 and see in your eyes
Fadi Jiha where have you been ? Chrysler been shit since year 2000 , owned by fiat got more shitty & no need to own any of their products unless if I want to be in a garage 24/7 , don’t to explain the whole thing because I’ve seen enough.
mohammadkwt I am in Syria..i bought a fiat cars called Sienna it's beautiful , strong, and fixed on the road ..i have 256000 km and I don't have problems and Issues...and FIAT buy Chrysler in 2009 not in 2000...i can't understand why you dislike their cars and if you have problems and listen from the people you should go to FIAT Chrysler company and explain your problems and Issues ,that make the company fix and maintain these problems, go and talk with the company and later the company will fix it
Can't wait to see the ZR2 vs the Raptor Ranger
Nathan: "Power Wagon dont care."....well, it seems the PW cared a whole lot and couldnt make it up the hill at all. After the PW dug some gnarly holes the Raptor and ZR2 barely blinked which is impressive. Im glad Dare took some wind out of the PWs sails because it is not the most capable offroad truck. Ill take my 17 Raptor over the PW anyday because after a bit of rock crawling I can take it down some logging roads at 75mph and have a blast. The PW is just too heavy, underpowered, and doesnt have the suspension for all around offroad fun.
ZaneMasterX agree 100%
Disagree haha it didn't make it but switch drivers and I'm sure it would. All y'all put so much stock into one test haha shit I got proof the PW can do wonders , I scaled an almost vertical rock wall in my Power Wagon at the Badlands. I got video proof. Ya win some and lose some. I win some 😎
They stopped and filled in the holes for the other trucks if you paid attention.
IWrocker take it easy kid
kingpin3919 kid?? Haha your kidding right? Who are you exactly???
