Well, technically down. Down the page and down in numerical value, aka up to the top ranking.

07/21/2015 at 13:12

B3000? nope. 1st its a ford ranger, so if you are picking a ranger...then pick a ranger. 2nd, the 3 liter wasn’t much of anything compared to the 4 liter.

Also the lobo, eh? what was wrong with the f150? I guess lobo is a cooler name, but I don’t think the bubble Taurus f150 is all that great of a truck really. The rest of the list is pretty good.

The only reason this isn’t number 1 is because the US Government classifies it as 8 tanks.

1. 1990-95 Hilux/Hilux Surf/4Runner

And I’m glad to see the vague shit that was the GMT400 and is the white trash choice of transportation didn’t make the list. Even a 383 doesn’t give them any feel.

Margin Of Error > HammerheadFistpunch
07/21/2015 at 13:17

The Mazda is the enthusiast’s choice.

I prefer the 3.0L, personally, it is more rev happy a fits the Mazda DNA better.

RallyWrench > Margin Of Error
07/21/2015 at 13:18

Disagree on the ‘03 Ford because the Triton is a piece of shit, and the ‘93 Dodge is a great engine with a marginal truck wrapped around it, but I’ll allow it. My personal best truck nomination is the one I own, a ‘95 F150 XLT 4x4:

Kinja'd!!!

I’d also nominate the ‘88-99 GM Silverado/Sierra twins, they’re damn hard to kill.

Maybe not as quick off the line, but it is faster (top speed) than the Syclone.

07/21/2015 at 13:21

The Lightning probably held the top speed or 1/4 mile test. Syclone was 4.3 sec 0-60, Lighnings never came close that I’m aware of. Not that I’m down on the Lightning, though. I just wanted to mess with Sampsonite

No Square Body Chevy? I’m disappoint!

Kinja'd!!!

But in all seriousness The First Gen Ram Diesel(your #10) is probably the best truck ever made.

Smallbear wants a modern Syclone, local Maple Leafs spammer > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
07/21/2015 at 13:24

That is correct. But I wanted to mess with Sampsonite :)

I do wonder how fast it would have gone though, if it wasn’t limited to 125(? I think that’s the right number). I doubt if it would have been faster overall, what with AWD holding it back, but the 1/4 mile would probably come closer to the Lightning.

a gmt400 with the vortec 7400 has plenty of the feels.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > HammerheadFistpunch
07/21/2015 at 13:27

Eh, I’ve driven a few of them, and they all feel completely vague. Lot’s of play, way too much pedal travel, and no sense of urgency, even the one with a 383. The one with a 383 just sounded a little better. Not saying it wasn’t quick, it just didn’t feel quick.

The Vulcan is not anything close to “rev happy” it's just a bad, underpowered motor.

Second the GM’s, and it hurts to say it being a GM guy, but based strictly on personal observation, those ferds seem rugged as hell.

You’ll really hate the back window then... Checker flag decal covering it

Don’t worry, I hate the shield too but my dad likes it and it’s his truck so I guess tough shit for us.

I’m not a Chevy guy per se, but I’m happy to endorse a good truck when I see one, and I’ve got a lot of wheel time in those GM trucks. I am a Ford guy, and having worked on several, I think Ford dropped the ball with the ‘97-up F150s in several ways. I mean, they’re not a “bad” truck necessarily, but no mechanic who has ever tangled with one will tell you the Triton is a good engine. The ‘96 and earlier like mine though, like a rock ;)

How is this even in the running? It’s just a Ranger.

It's two VERY heavily modified Duratecs, which are an infinitely better motor than the Vulcan.

I’m going to get flamed for this, but if you cannot kill a truck with 300K+ hard miles, it probably won’t ever die.

So I nominate the GMT800 Heavy Duty pickup, with the Duramax/Allison powertrain.

Not in the least part because I own one...

Wrong 3.0L Ford V6...

The Vulcans were *pushrod* V6s. The Duratec V6 was a DOHC V6 design that was the rough basis for the Aston 6.0L V12.

07/21/2015 at 16:45

My 95 RWD Eddie Bauer agrees with this. However, I’d nominate the GMT800 rather than the GMT400 trucks, but that’s just personal preference.

Unless you are forcing a 6.5 Detroit Diesel on them...than that’s just being cruel. You receive 25 Science Collaboration Points.

Wouldn’t a hamster in a wheel be a better motor than the Vulcan V6?

Only to 60 though. Still held the record for world’s fastest production truck till the ram SRT10 came along. Also a supercharged V8 will always sound better than a turbo V6.
