well it didnt have the classic devices that a 4X4 would have, i didnt even notice a push button for 4x4, alaska isnt all just ice like some people may think, there are normal roads out there where 2wd cars can travel... but like i said I didnt see a push button nor the manual shift for the 4x4 and no indication of locking hubs manual or auto...plus the axle looked to be a long single piece not a double like my truck (4x4) has, one up front or rear, with the Tcase....

You need to check out your F250 then, my I used old Eddie Bauer Bronc (1990, stock 5.8, E4OD) to pull out of fuel trucks several times.

Top Gear America sucks!

I tend to agree. BBC Top Gear is great. Top Gear America is a poor substitute.

The 351 in it is a lame dog at 113K miles. Motor spooled up truck didnt roll. Just made the chain tight... If I put it in low I would have pulled it. Im not that stupid, Let the boss use his 6 liter... and the 250 has pulled the fuel trucks out of the landing but we dont let them get into mud. Just stuck in sand/loose gravel, with them assisting also. Big rig was dead, no nothing... not just stuck. Used the compressor to fill its tanks all the way and pulled it back to the shop with the chebby's.

That was at me jamie not being able to pull a empty tractor trailer with my F 250. I dont know of any F250 that will pull it loaded. But that 2500HD did it with the dura max but now we are not talking our era truck. 6.0 powerstroke could most likely pull it too. May need a egr and injector when its done though ..

Sorry but I hate the 6.0L Fords and yes I had to pay for one to earn the right to say that. Happily sold a 05 F 350 with 42K miles and have not missed it a day since.. pure POS... My 95 351 F250 is a much better truck.

I had a 75 f250 highboy with three drive shafts and a 390 and I used to beat the everloving crap out of it in the woods and never had a problem with it. That truck was bad to the bone!

oh none of the tests are accurate as they didnt have all three trucks do the tests, they did telephone poles for the Chubby, train for the Ford and a house for the Ram....OI if they are gonna do these tests do it right people...least the Ford pulled the train...
