Top Gear USA compares three brand new pickup trucks on that episode. Rutledge opts in a brand new 2014 Toyota Tundra while Tanner, being a Ford guy, goes for the Ford F-150 SuperCrew and Adam readies with the Ram 1500.
The search for the best pickup truck begins and for the first task, the boys must drive their trucks from rough terrain to asphalt. By surprise, the V8-powered, brand new Tundra came first before the F150 while leaving Adam and Ram in the dirt.
Their first destination is the Malibu SpeedZone and for this challenge, the boys will find out how car-worthy these trucks are. While in the destination, Adam arrives with some injuries, which is not a case for this. Because of his injuries, he'll let The Stig drive his Ram for a change.
Thanks to The Stig, the Ram 1500 wins the challenge and their next challenge involves its family-friendly abilities. Drivers swap from presenter to ordinary people when they find a parking space. In the end, the F-150 King Ranch wins.
The next challenge is a daring one as the boys challenge the 0-60-0 stopping power of trucks. Get it wrong, and they're going through a lot of mess from themselves. By 6-inches near the collision, the new Tundra takes the win.
And now, they're headed to the Ontario Airport, testing how tough these pickups are but because they've headed too early, they pass time driving airport vehicles for fun.
After much mishaps, they're now ready for the final challenge: towing a big jumbo jet without hitting the airport vehicle obstacles. Yes, the Tundra has a big reputation for towing a space shuttle but will conquer another challenge for Toyota?!
Amazingly, it did and it done at 2:26. Can the F150 and the Ram beat that?
The Ram did it in 2:10 while the F150 finished in 1:42. Which means, the F150 with the EcoBoost engine won the towing challenge.
