Ford vs. Chevy

Two friends of mine were talkin' trash one day so they decided to hook a chain between the two trucks. To my dying day I will never forget the site of a 1997 Ranger with 33x12.50 Mud Tracs and a 4.0 V6 drag around a 1995 Z-71 with a 350 like it was nothing.

Ford vs. Chevy

Hi,
I don't know about a V6 towing a V8 ch*vy around but I know My brother did it with a 300 in an 89 f150 against a 90 c1500 Z71 and then the guy wanted to run through mud and my brother had to pull him out so he wanted to run on the street so my brother took this F150 laden with about 300 lbs. of mud and really trashed him on the street. The guy just wouldn't give up!!!

The reason you don't see Chevys broke down is because they break and then the owner realizes that he should have bought a Ford so he sells the piece of junk to some poor sucker and then goes and buys a Ford.

a friend of mine thinks his aunt's 96 ch*vy 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive w/a 6.5 diesel thinks it can pull my dad's 97 f250 2 wheel drive w/buckshot mudders and a 7.3 powerstroke around like it's nothing, i told him to put some money on it and i will do it, but he won't, i told him i would hook to him w/him if 4 wheel or 2 wheel drive, either way i'll still have his tires smokin. I hope he comes up w/some money just so i can embarass him.
