2014 Chevy Silverado vs Ford F-150 vs Ram 1500: Epic V8 0-60 MPH Towing Duel 

0-60 is not what im looking at when i buy a truck

one of the first lines in the video "thanks to gm for flying me out" hmm..wonder which truck will win this...

As soon as he said GM flew me out here. I stopped the video and said to myself yep Chevy first Ford second and Dodge third nothing to watch here

Cool, Chevy won a Chevy sponsored test. Nothing like being un-biased.

Top of the line chev, too top of the line Ford, too base model dodge ???? Wtf ??

i dont like the way he always revs the shit out of the engine the second it starts up. its probably not a big deal because these new engines run such thin oil but still its disrespectful to a brand new truck. give it 20 seconds to make sure there is oil all through the engine next time please!

I'll take my 2013 Big Horn and the sweet sound of the rumbling Hemi over some number on a towing test.

the Chevy making 2 runs and the Ford and Dodge only having 1 run is totally bogus! I had a feeling that it was going to be a biased test when he mentioned GM footing the bill!

Dodge rams may not always out preform the competition, but damn they sure do make a sexy truck!!!!

All 3 are good trucks , I prefer the Ford as I've been driving Fords since my first car. But any of these will do most jobs and be reliable. This test however was a Chevy sponsored test...so not actually a test but an advertisement ...if your a Chevy guy or gal it will be a great truck , if your a Mopar person buy the Ram....the same with the Ford..just keep buying American trucks in America...regardless of where the plants are located...the Japanese did not start building trucks/cars in America to benefit America...the money winds up as Yen. Buy Ford , Chevy , Dodge and work hard fellow Americans!

Such bullshit.. Test the Ford again like you did the Chevy! Not to mention the inside of a Ford is 100x nicer than the plain look of a Chevy. This test was obviously started favoring the Chevy. Poor Dodge got the shaft as well.

WTF he ran the Chevy twice! Anyway Ford still today out sells both Chevy and Dodge... Sales for October 2013- Number 1. Fords F series at recorded sells of 623,309. Number 2. Chevrolet Silverado recorded sales of 403,435 units sold. Number 3. Dodge Ram at 293,633. And at Number 4. GMC Sierra at 152,173. Ford still out sold GMC and Chevy combined at 555,608. A difference of 67,701 units more. So when it comes to choice the nation speaks. Ford is the best selling most reliable truck period!....

you got the most simple ram and got the best of the other too smh...

Why no 3.92 axle ratio in the ram?

Yes, please do it right. This is youtube after all. So easy... All you need is 3 brand new 2014 trucks. Three trailers with identical loads. Several video cameras. A computer that runs Final Cut. You also need to know how to use Final Cut. Plus a youtube channel with tens of thousands of subscribers and of course do it all by yourself...just like Roman did in this video. No photographer, no editor, no help what-so-ever. Oh yes, and Roman had less then an hour to shot the entire video. Go for it!

Chevy was paying for the video, its a chevy sales pitch. I bought a new 98 chevy truck which I still have. So far I replaced, 2 fuel pumps, 1 new alternator, 1 water pump, 1 intake manifold gaskets, 1 inside door handle, 1 windshield washer control board, 1 radiator, 1 new fuel injectors. truck has 100k on it. I would never buy a chevy again.

Ram is by far my favorite. Badass

This is biased... he even says in the beginning, "Thanks to GM, who flew me out here."

Nice GM commercial. Did the Ford get a second run to try and improve its time? Or try and run a Ram with its 3.92 gears for towing?

Why was the RAM tested with the old transmission and not the new 8 speed? also chevy ltz, ford lariat, ram express. That like comparing apple to apple to grapefruit. COME ON FLTRUCK your better then that. 2014 GMC looks really good.

such a bs test hahah dodge got ripped, throw the new 6.4 Hemi in the truck and then test all 3 again

This guy is throwing the Ram under the bus... Compare the 5.0 or Ecoboost Ford to the 5.3 Chevy, to the 5.7 HEMI with the similar rear ends!! Chevy commercial here...... I've driven and towed with all three of these trucks over the past few years and the Ram easily is the best towing half ton I've ever driven. If this idiot would compare apples to apples like he said... he wouldn't have used the stripped down Ram express (basically the cheapest Ram you can buy), against a 6.2 Lariat to a 6.2 LTZ. Don't get me wrong... all three of these are great American trucks, but C'MON MAN!!!!

and after this video he had to take that chevy back to get more recall work done on it. lmao

That guy can't maintain lane to save his life.

That particular Ram was at quite the disadvantage. I have that same Ram Express Black Edition Crew Cab 4x4. It has the older 6 speed, not the newer 8 speed, so it is quite a bit slower. It also has only two axle options, 3.21 and 3.55 limited slip, which I have. This accounts for the big difference. Any higher model Ram would have been nearly identical to the others.

You should have tested the RAM w/ the new 8-speed transmission, not the 6-speed. That is RAM's ideal towing truck, not the one you tested. That gives RAM the advantage with having less power.

Rigged! What a joke, try that against my 3.92 rear. Let's actually see a ram using a gear better suited for towing or even drag racing in these test and reviews? The 3.55 can tow 2000lbs less than my 3.92, so not a valid test.

He obviously shows favoritism for the Silverado...

this was completely unfair for the Dodge Ram

ram looks the best

this is what they should of had in the Ram for a fair challenge. 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 delivers best-in-class 410 horsepower (306 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 429 lb.-ft. of torque

You tested the chevy twice... You only tested the ford once .... Let's give the ford another go..only fair I'm sure it could do better.

also how are you going to use the 5.7 hemi? they def have a 6.4l which would have been "apples to apples" seeing as how you use the 6.2 from chevy and ford.... would have been way better if you used the 5.0l or ecoboost from ford and the 5.3l from chevy for the 5.7 hemi. that sir would have been "apples to apples"!

$53,000 for a Ford?...Wow... $50,000 for a Chevy (that doesn't even have a bed liner)?... Double wow... Buy a Ram for $40,000 and if it's not perfect, then put $8,000 worth of upgrades into it and you'll have a better truck that cost less and looks better. There will be fanboys that say "Chevy/Ford frames are better", but we all know Dodge frames hold up, it's the sheet metal that fails.

I think you guys cheated the Dodge just a bit but that's me

People saying this Channel is by GM is pathetic. These two guys try their best to make a entertaining and truthful channel.

$53000 for a New ford ? Keep it !! I bought my 04'4x4 heritage 4.2 liter 5 speed for $13000 still have it with 83,000 miles. Bought it with 10,000 miles on it . Who in the hell pays 50 grand for a Girly automatic frilly pick- up? any brand for that matter

Always try to match the final drive ratios! Ram's 3.55 ratio put it out of the running before you started!

Ford constantly underrates the hp numbers on their engines.

I just bought a Ram just like the one in this test. Full black out treatment, it's a slick ride. Traded in my 05 ram for it. Mopar or no car. (or truck)

of course they had to do another test of the chevy, this is funded by chevy. I can guarantee he did not have the dodge all the way to the floor. I have a dodge just like that one only its a big horn and it beats my friends chevy everytime.

Dodge body, Cummins Engine, Allison transmission, Ford chassis. There, end all discussions, we will call it the sexy beast.

well Chevy definitely paid for this....

I'm a ram mechanic I'm sorry I've driven ford chevy and ram, hands down ram has more power than the other leading brands. No offense to any ford or gm fans out there

if you wanna haul a heavy load, buy a silverado. if you wanna swallow a heavy load, buy a ford

Why didn't you try the ford twice

The main problem with the Ram in the gearing in the Transmission, not the lack of power. The 6 speed in that particular ram has a first gear ratio of 3.00 which is ridiculous for low end grunt, the rear gear can only do so much. It would be a much better comparison if you would of had the 8-speed trans in the ram, the first gear in that is 4.71 which is much better for getting out of the hole.

hah... "thanks GM for flying me out here".... "oh that time was slower than the Ford... LETS TEST AGAIN" **unhooks trailer and points camera at dashr** "OOH HOH! WOW... now that was fast"

Smh The 2nd test drive was downhill

Wow, so the engine with the most horsepower and torque accelerated the trailer at the fastest rate? What a surprise!

How disappointing. 1, 0-60 for the Ford, 1, 0-60 for the Ram...the Chevy lost and got another chance because Chevy paid for the trip?? Wow, what kind of BS is that. Dude, you sold out.

Seems like you shouldn't do vehicle tests with so much bias towards one particular brand. Atleast not let it show so much. I have a chevy but you did two runs with the 'sado and only one with the others, not cool man.

Ford with ac on vs Chevy without ac one Fair?

I think for the price the dodge is the winner

Yeah that's pretty unfair testing a $40,000 base model Ram with 3.55 axle, compared to Ford and Chevy's $50,000 top models with axles built for towing. I'm not a fan of any car brand that's just not a fair fucking test lol.

Ford has a well-earned reputation for quality, dependability and power??? Stop playing around....

He teared up quick when his favorite bowtie lost to the FORD! haha Put the same make tires on each truck, make it a real comparison. His review of the Raptor, which he disabled comments on, was as much of a whine over a Ford as this.

i'm a ford guy but i'm kinda killin' for that all black ram.

Thanks to Gm who flew me out here. Wonder why Chevy won. I’m currently have a 2015 6.2 Chevy and I had the 2012 5.7 ram with a caí and exhaust and it feel a tad quicker if not the same.

My 76 f150 has 890.000 miles on it and still runs smoothly. I don't see why anyone is complaining about Ford.

should of used the big horn instead of the express, big difference

Dodge still has the best diesels

No it was faster because Roman had the Chevy in tow/haul mode by accident in the first run. But what a surprise...the most powerful truck was the fastest. Who would have thought that extra torque and horsepower would make a truck go faster? That's pretty crazy.

Ford, Ram(Dodge) and Chevrolet ALL make great pickup trucks. NOBODY is going to buy a pickup truck based on its 0-60 times with a loaded trailer. You buy a pickup truck for its reliability and your dedication to the brand. I had a Tahoe through college (97' 4-door) and with over 250K miles it was an amazing truck. Never broke down or stalled on me. Anyone would be lucky to have any of these trucks but at the end of the day.. Give me the Chevy

Hardly an apples to apples test with the RAM, you tested the f150 with 3.73 because you said it is "the towing axle, the one you want for towing", yet when testing the RAM you tested with the 3.55 axle instead of the 3.92 axle which is what RAM has for towing. I wonder why RAM scares you all so much that would you purposely use the wrong axle for testing? I'll bet if you had used the proper 3.92 axle the RAM would have won the 0-60 test hands down.

lol this isn't biased at all...

I find this video hard to believe, I own a ram and it sure feels faster than what this video shows.

Me and my mate went to the u.s , I got the same chev in this test and my mate had the same ford. The ford was the better by far .we had the trucks for all the time we were in the usa , I got the keys of the ford , its alot faster more powerful . Way better to drive

You wanna know why they went cheap on the Ram? Because the 1500 that is at the same price point as the Ford and the Chevy beat the shit out of the Chevy. And then Ford and Dodge/ Ram drove off nicely into the sunset while making jokes at the Chevy, including but not limited to- "How do you make a Chevy go faster down hill? Cut the engine" "How do you double the value of a Chevy? Put gas in it" "CHEVROLET= Constantly Having Every*Vehicle*Recalled Over Lousy Engineering Techniques" "GMC= Garbage Manufacturing Company"

yea the fastest, it only took two tries lol, everyone will always try to disprove ford because they know its the best, no matter how many flaws their trucks have, no matter how many 6.0 powerstrokes were repaired ford will remain the best, there is a reason they were the first major car company

I don't think I know anybody that puts their foot right to the floor when they start off with their truck real world testing my ass

I'm a RAM man all day long, but I love what Ford is doing with their trucks, that being said they just disrespected that Hemi with their apples to oranges test! My five Rams have never let me down and they are the best looking trucks period!

He's Biased!

Wow, is he every biased! For host he did a terrible job, as I could see he was pro GM from the beginning of the video.

why don't you compare a 40k dollar ford to the 40k dollar ram? all you do is compare apples to oranges to make ford look.good because they pay you

I guarantee you GM was displeased with the results, and made him go a second round.

Well, Government Motors flew him out there so of course the pos Chevy is gonna win...

"Thanks to GM who flew me out here.." enough said. BTW I own a 14 Silverado nothing but a hunk of junk. Never again.

bottom line in my opinion..... All three are great trucks. The Dodge (equally my favorite with the Ford) is by far the most improved out of any of them, because it had the most to be improved. The Ford has by far the most heavy duty suspension, chassis, and body of the three. Chevy edges out the three with their powertrain, and has for a while. I won't buy the Chevy just because of the electrical, and body/interior integrity issues. The plastic they use, or the way they construct it, is somehow much cheaper than the Ford. They need to prove they've fixed all that first. Then I'll consider buying it.

For all those haters on the "Small V8" in the F150.... thats probably the best production V8 ever put in a truck, if not right behind the 5.3 that GM has.

Biased.... That's why he had to run the Chevy Twice. Ford all day Baby!

GOVERNMENT MOTORS

Notice how they found a down hill spot to run the GM repeatedly until it could beat the Fords time? You can see who sponsored this little event. Real world my ass!

The chevy and ford compete on a total different scale group In that case they should've used the hemi 6.4 since they were using above 6 numbers

Wait... you got 1.5 seconds of difference on the same truck? What kind of test is this??

Further proof that this guy has no business testing vehicles. Don't get me wrong, I wanted the Chevy to win..but if you have to go: 'oops, the right one didn't win, lets just give it another chance cuz my driving is ridiculously inconsistent', maybe you should consider that your methods are pretty worthless. I get that the dude doesn't seem to know much of what he's testing but you don't need to be a major car guy to know that the trucks should be compared with an equal number of runs. Personally, if i weren't able to make consistent runs in a vehicle I certainly wouldn't post videos as an authority on them..

Real world deal with it? A 2nd chance for GM, its amazing what shutting the A/C off does for the Chevy. Let the Ford have a 2nd run with the A/C off! Hats off to Ford for the victory!

I guess TFLT deleted my other comment that I had on here. Either way, Roman keeps responding saying that the Chevys first recorded time was due to tow/haul being engaged. The funny thing about that though, is that after the short and mostly negative introductions, Roman had no issue in the Ram or Ford. The man was on top of his game. He literally managed to drive them both all the way to 60mph (from 0!) with no issues. When he hops in the Chevy, you are in for a treat as he walks you through all the reasons you should want this truck. What it does, how it makes him feel (I mean its the kind of truck your Dad might drive!). Yet unfortunately he forgets to turn off tow/haul mode. One thing that should be noted is that tow/haul mode being off frees up about 150whp. If you notice, he has no trouble dropping an entire second an a half off of the 12.72 the truck ran under WOT conditions just a second ago. Roman ensures us that nothing was changed, the same weight, same road no downhills or anything, same trailer, AC is on, he didn't use a programmer on it or anything. The tow/haul mode is just that good, 12.72 to 11:25 at the push of a button. Only the Chevy had the GM engine so only it was re-ran after the Ford recorded the fastest time. He would have shown you the other trucks run again but the camera's memory card ran out of space! This is also why he doesn't show the trailer being towed, it would have been boring to see it again, you just saw it. He gives you his word that it is not only identical, but that it is there too. If he had tried to show the trailer, the sheer torque of the tow/haul mode release would have sent the cam flying, endangering lives. GM also wanted you guys to know that it wasn't their fault. Though they arranged the shoot and flew him out there, they said it was fine if the Ford won, they are a company that honors the rules, a company that believes in sportsmanship. They also wanted to re-iterate that they would not have had the money to pay him even if he had wanted to be paid, which of course he didn't. Keep in mind TFLT viewers, in the future it is possible that only comments deemed beneficial to TFLT will be allowed. Otherwise comments can and will be deleted, this is only in an effort to curb freedom of speech and/or personal accountability.

Hmmmmmmm takes 2 trys with the Silverado...seems really excited for the Silverado? and if you wonder why, lets see GM paid for him to come out there. It doesn't matter, Ford outsells GM and everyone else, so i think we know who wins in any comparison

This is not a well organized experiment. You tried the silverodo twice? Did you at least let it cool down before you drove it the second time?

Just bought a Ram Sport fully loaded. You can have your Fords and Chevys, nice trucks, but you should see this Ram. Damn it's pretty, black on black.

I honestly feel like the Ford and Chevy's times are unbelievably fast. 12 seconds with 5,000 pounds is unreal.

I'm glad to see i'm not the only one disturbed by the way he reved the engine as soon as it started on all of them.

I wonder if he let the engines warm up before testing it because it makes a big difference from a cold engine to a warm one

As soon as he says "Chevy flew me out here" you knew who was going to win....

They tested a $40,000 nearly base model Ram with a 5.7L V8 engine and 3.55 gears against two $50,000+ trucks with 6.2 liter V8's and 3.73 gears. Of course the Ram will be significantly slower. It's simple physics. It's not even in the same class as the Ford and the Chevy. If the Ram won that battle Ford and GM would have some serious problems on their hands.

11.25 with no trailer towing. you cant fool me my friend. you just edit this video. my friend has that same chevy truck and it never goes before 12.75. and I am talking about without towing

The Ram with 6 speed (and of course the lower trim). That transmission is slow to shift and not aggressive enough to launch the ram in the 1st gear as you saw in the video, the 8 speed would give a better number despite the 5.7 Hemi being weaker than the 6L + from ford and Chevi. The Hemi 6.4 with the 8 speed would have better chances to beat them. too bad it doesn't produce the 470 HP and torque as the SRT Jepp Grand Cherokee that would kill them for sure ;)

Umm also the Ram that was tested didn't have the best towing package available because it was the 3.55 gears and 6 speed trans. Ram offers a 3.92 gear package paired with an 8 speed trans.

So the biased guy driving lost to the ford the first time but only gave the Chevy two runs? I want to see the dodge and fords second run also. Otherwise this video is pointless
