I’m on the fence as to whether these trucks are amazing or stupid, but I am pretty impressed by the power these things make.

The “weakest” of the bunch makes 758hp and 1190lb-ft.

I watched that and I’m amazed at how unsafe some of these were, the Canadian guy couldn’t even see where he was going, and they all look very “bro”.

i’m amazed. They probably get a bad stereotype cuz of the bro’s who drive them. Doesn’t seem much different than a mustang or Camaro with crazy HP

The power in these things are ridiculous. They’re not my thing, but its hard to argue with anything pumping out 2,500ftlbs of torque

The "ghetto fog" used by the second guy is ridiculous. No system, just open the bottle in front of the intake manually.

I know. I think I’d be afraid to drive those things, though. Seems like you’d fishtail just letting the clutch out.

This just reenforces my need for a 6.0 Powerstroke.

No kidding. I have to imagine they're barely streetable.

I was a bit surprised by that given the pretty poor reputation that thing has.

They are kind of like Rotory’s in that you have to know what you are getting into for them to work right. But when treated right, they are perfectly reliable.

The #’s are impressive, but reliability is questionable. I rememeber watching the series last year where half of the trucks broke at some point.

Also, it was cool that they did the obstacle course with the cones and a trailer.

Yeah, that’s one thing I don’t like about this. It just feels wrong to me to go out there and abuse your truck until it breaks.
