1970 Dodge D100 Pickup Truck vs Ford F100 and Chevrolet C10 Dealer Promo Film 

I like how it’s a Dodge promo but they highlight the important work and function features and still gave credit to Ford and Chevy when they had the better feature. Nowadays they put each other down and just show you the interior and the tech features that costs more.

I wasn’t even born yet so I didn’t need a truck.

Nowadays, instead of bragging about the most extended bed, you boast about the four-doors and a micro-bed.

I'm sold i will take the international harvester

Over the years I have owned all 3 of those 1970 models and I'm a Dodge guy but my Ford was best

I have a 1968 F100 my dad bought it brand new in 68, still have it,got a 390 in it , came with a 360 when it was new, had about 370,000 plus miles on it. I put the 390 in it about 17 years ago, truck has now 435,000 miles on it and the old boy still runs great. I'm fixing it up for my son's twin boys. I was seventeen then and I'm just about seventy, I'm just glad the old truck can't talk I would be in some trouble.

So sad. A set of wheels and tires for a modern truck cost more than the whole damn truck did back then....

The Dodge truck is the oldest looking in 1970

I still see 1970 Chevy Trucks on the road today! Don't see many 1970 Dodge Trucks today unless at a Mopar car show.

I love it. This was from back when men drove trucks and metrosexuals didn't exist.

nice to see all three so new, not rotted out. pretty funny how they brag about three bucks cheaper back then

The Chevy and Ford just better looking trucks.

Hahaha chevy is bad because it has coil springs in the back.... what did dodge do in 09??? Cool video though.

I'll say this for these comparison videos, they're sure entertaining to watch.

I drove a 1960 6 cylinder good truck and I bought a 1967 dodge 3/4 four speed v 8 camper special very dependable truck and easy to work on it. Now all vehicles look beautiful but they're nothing but very expensive plastic .

I'am from Argentina and have a D 100 74' whit Perkins engine diesel. Good truck!!

I'll take a a 396 chevy truck with a turbohydramatic transmission also cold air and a delco amfm radio.That all I need back then and all I need today.

Beautiful Old trucks mate infact they look wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than anything you see on the road today.

I was ready to buy the ford, but then when I saw the jack handle behind the seat? no thank you

I'm a Dodge guy but that Chevy truck is sure nice looking

So then he said forget it, and went out and bought an international.

I bought a new chevy 4x4 in 66 just before the draft got me. I headed home and pushing it hard true, slung rod out the side with no warning. Motors locked up and the gauge reads the same and motors cooked! I call em up and explain a way and they said too bad so sad. I parked it in yard after wrecker brought me home and had breakfast with buddies at restaurant next morning there in town. We decide as a group were going into town to see if there are any good rigs on the lots to get me by till figured out. So I'm at a dodge outfit in our sister town and tell what I want/like yada yada. He tells me if I'll trade that dead chevy in (it was pretty) he will set me in a new dodge with nice new dodge. Its a deal! They will come and get chevy tomorrow so with the new papers in hand I start driving the dodge home... should I say to be continued, na, so I get on it when out of sight and not real hard but a couple of one wheel peels. I get to the hard turn off to my place and turn just to watch in mirror a axle on the back with tire on it come right out and gone and me sliding sideways right into a ministers car. It took us both out! I would say what I said there but you know anyway. I'm going to hospital back to sister town cause we don't have a hospital and they said I had to go for a few stitches. I was cursing and it wasn't my best day or form. So I'm out of the doctors office going home with a buddy from that town and he tells me to talk to his dad. Turns out he has a older ford 62 with the big knuckle four wheel drive that he will sell me on payments and not to worry that we were friends so he filled it with gas and I did make it that time with a good rig just not pretty but just glad to have wheels. I got out of the army in fall of sixty nine a little messed up but who wasn't. I got home and the guy who had sold me the ford gave me my money back with title in hand free! I still had it but it was parked till I got home. There are friends and then there was Denny H. who believed me and in me. I liked him better than most any one

So this is when you bought a truck you got a truck. Not some rolling network of computers on wheels. There were no body control modules, crash avoidance systems, air bags, or audio control module to sync your phone to that allowed tracking of your whereabouts. At most, the only electronic systems on these older pickups might me electronic ignition systems. And they performed just fine. The steering suspension on newer trucks are similar to what is used in passenger cars. Older solid axle suspension systems were tough. They got the job done. You didn’t expect a comfortable ride, it’s a truck for God’s sake.

That Dodge body style was pretty “long in the tooth” by 1970 and still had another year to go! Then came 1972 and finally a redesign - which was still being stamped out 21 years later.....😂

I'm sold ill take the ford thanks .

It's interesting that Dodge focused on GVWR. Their's being higher, even though payload is higher the Chevy. That suggests that the Dodge simply is a heavier truck.

Grandpa had a 1969 Dodge truck with slant-6 and three on the tree. Love it!

I'll take the Ford

I’ll take the 318 , one of the best engines of all time ..

I am a Dodge man but the Dodge was too ugly to consider ...if I were a buyer back then.

And which one was the biggest seller? Here’s a hint, it doesn’t start with a D😉😄

that sales model in that corduroy bikini looked like she was smuggling an afro in her britches baaahahahaha

'It beats hell outta the blue plate special!" Classic!

The thing that got me going was Dodge still selling a truck with a front suspension from the 1930s. And a electrical system from the 1910s.

Dodge would finally modernize the looks of its truck in 1972. The 1970 truck looks dated compared the Chevy and Ford.

I take the Twin I Beam

@ 0:50 the guy serving food has a smoke in his lips.... LOL . How times have changed .

383, 413, and some years 440s!

From a guy who owns a 70 C10 I personally think it's the best looking truck of the year. No comparison

I"ll take a C10 any day. 6:27 Did they intentionally misspell gauges? Oh they must have, I see lenth above it.

I can't help but notice that they didn't even try to compare their truck with the beast- International Harvester.

That spelling at 6:30.....

So what the film is saying is: Dodge is the most expensive base price, has outdated suspension, the weakest 6cyl Engine and the jack at … well … just another place - GO GET IT! ?

Can I get a Dodge truck with a 440 and a 4-speed? 😁

I'm glad that Dodge finally improved the appearance of its trucks by this point. Between the three trucks, I find the 1970 Ford F100 and the Dodge D100 to be the best looking.

In 1970, that sales pitch probably worked. But they were just splitting hairs.

Back when commercials weren't all bullshit

If you bought all three and put them away until now everyone knows what one brings top dollar now!

Sorry I’d buy the F100 every time

I love those year Ford Trucks!!!

The slant six Gus...so you have a solid lifter ticker six oh yea. Me thinks the Chev and Ford sixes were better, quieter, more powerful.

Buddy at the diner smoking a dart while he chats ahhh the good old days lol

I just can't get past how UGLY the Dodge is. Ford and Chevy were about equal back then.

Smooth i-team? You'd go down a washboard gravel road and it would vibrate you into a ditch. I had one do that to me, for real! Ride like a lumber wagon!

And even after this commercial I still bought a Chevrolet...and still do to this day...I’ve drove all three and I’ve got them rated Chevrolet, Ford and then Dodge....not saying the others are bad cause their not...just a personal preference....

I've daily driven a '72 F100, a '72 C10, and currently drive a '65 C20. I know which one I get the most thumbs up in!

You still see thousands of Ford bumpsides on the road, but never see any Dodge trucks from that time frame. Not many Chevy or GMC's either. Here in 2022 you can still get every nut and bolt for the old Fords. Good luck finding Dodge truck parts.

Had a 70 model with the slant 6. Could no kill that old truck. How I wish I had it back.

you got to love advertising.they could point out how a 1915 biplane is superior to the concorde. advertisers specialize in disposable truth.

I bet you could really taste the Cigarette ash in the blue plate special

I had a Slant 6 Dodge truck in the mid-70's for work. It had no power steering, manual 3 speed stick shift, no radio, no a/c, just a work truck. That thing was actually very tough and held up great. But man, it was slow. Top speed on level ground, and not loaded, was 75mph. Loaded with filing cabinets in the bed, and a single axle trailer also loaded with filing cabinets, was 50mph, wide open throttle. But you could not wear out that 225 slant 6, it was a tough engine.

Regarding chrome trim and side moldings, my uncle used to say "Hell, I'd pay you to keep that crap OFF my truck!"

Nice trucks but that Dodge looks like it's a 1960 model.

she said that the chevrolet has a coil spring rear suspension but it was an option , not standard . in my personal experience of working in junkyards and owning over 55 vehicles fords usually have better paint and body quality for instance i owned a 71 dodge p.u. and inside the cab on a spot welded seam they had actually left a piece of mig welder wire stuck on the body . and the fords twin i-beam is the best front suspension system of the three it gives more wheel travel than the others and handles and rides better than the dodges straight axle but is still simple and rugged .

Only thing I didn't like about those trucks was they put the gas tanks inside the cabs which was dangerous because say like if a driver of another car runs a red light or a stop sign & t-bones you between the cab & pickup bed, the gas tank would probably explode.

Would love to have a 1970 dodge truck!! I'm sold!!!

Sweptline all the way

Cooks don't serve your lunch with a cigarette in their hand anymore (though they still do that here in Japan). Unfortunately, the Dodge trucks that year were hideous, which is why few were sold.

I'll take the Ford. We had a 69 F250, we had it for over 25 years, it was tough! Dodge wasn't selling very many trucks back then.

Dodge was ugliest, hands down.

Handle behind seat genius...can defend yourself.

The Dodge has more moldings that's why it's better.

Back then, Dodge was brand X when it came to trucks. Even looked half assed. Ford and Chevy led the game.

I miss my Dodge D100 Adventurer

I would take a Ford F-100 Ranger with a 390 FE V8. Looks better than the Chevy or Dodge IMHO.

Ford with a 460 manual transmission

The narrator at the start of the video is Sonny Elliot who was a well known Detroit area weatherman for decades!

My best one at that time was the ford

Ford had them beat

I was adventuresome in those days. Make mine an Adventurer with the full Ziebart rustproofing.

Chevy still had the much better looking truck

The Chevrolet was the best truck in this era

The chevy is amazing looking. My friend had a 70 GMC longhorn LS9 350 all original drove like caddy was fast took work easily. The Ford has best rear axle

Flip.that Ford stores the jack handle under the seat ? And Chevy's is so inconviently located behind the seat ? I'm sold on dodge now ...lol actually the Chevy is the most sought after one today maybe just my opinion but it's the easiest to street rod , rat rod or customize , those coil springs in the rear make it easy to air bag a Chevy c10 just take the springs out put air bags ,coil overs , lowering springs etc , I have a 69 F 250 great truck as is but the crown Vic front end swaps , rear 4 links etc Chevy's way easier .....

Great prices. I'll buy all three.

I recognize the voice of the narrator. I am almost certain that is the Iconic Detroit weatherman Sonny Elliot!

5:20 Well you know the Chevrolet offers an option with an instrument cluster that has gas, heat, battery, oil, and speedometer.

I love ford / Chevy bashing

I’ll take the Chevy Custom,Camper special.

My dad had a 1970 Chevy C10 truck, and I remember it having a gauge cluster featuring gauges for *Fuel,* *Temperature,* and if I'm not mistaken, for *Oil Pressure.* They weren't very easy to see, since they were *underneath* the speedometer and the fuel gauge. But they were there.

had a 70 ford brand new 3 yrs old it was rotted through rust on bed , they were all junk then!

The Dodge looks 10 yrs older !

In 1970, did paying $2800 for a pickup seem as impossible as paying $38,000 for a pickup today?

I never knew the Dodge cost a little more than the Ford and Chevy. Interesting, I always thought the Dodge trucks were cheaper.

Not convinced the Dodge is better from this.

Sorry, so the only benefit of the standard 6 is that it's slanted?

You know they always say your biggest competition is who you got to go against

Surprised to learn Chevy had rear coil springs in those days.

These were great trucks had a c10,great truck no electronic shit just a great everyday work truck ,bring them back

Lol this video makes me love my 1970 3 on the tree Chevrolet C/10 more and more. Fun truck, and I think the C/10 is the best looking. Although I rarely ever see any old Dodges driving around, mostly see Chevys and Fords. Makes me a little skeptical about buying a Dodge truck. But if it's an old Dodge muscle car, I'm in!
