No Payment Needed Finale: Which Of Our $5,000 Cheap Trucks Is WITHOUT QUESTION The Most Badass? 

Yes yes “repairs” 😉😉😉😉 jk lol

That 46re needs a pro rebuild. Yikes

Listed at $5500. If someone pays that they are braindead that transmission is done. And its not like the body is nice either

@@Rival1998 haha yo someone bid 5400 for it 😂 i wouldnt pay for that in that condition more like 2000 for it. If it was like really really good condition 4500. I mean that truck will need a rebuild or new trans 5500 ontop of that about 1800 to 2200 for rebuild or reman no way

It does say they rebuilt the transmission

I second this idea... Mini truck shootout!

Theyll likely get an 80s s10, a 00s dakota & a new ranger.

@@googleaccount2637 why would they get a new ranger when the new ranger isn't even a ranger anymore.

I'd like to see an s10, Dakota, and ranger all from the 80s/early 90s and do these tests

@@ghostlegit because they like to give ford the advantage in competitions.

Yea those years were the worse lol

Just that generation, however my father and uncle both own that generation and have well over 200K on theirs with no issues.

@@sashadog4142 I have owned 2 dodge vehicles. Both had trans issues, and 1 had a ecm issue. One was a 92, one was an 02. Haven't owned one since

@@sashadog4142 They can be rebuilt to be pretty solid, but yeah a total weakpoint for that era. The 5.2 and 5.9 were rock solid though and will outlast both the GM and Ford motor no problem. So not a bad idea for a good example, sadly this Ram needed a good amount of work and more for someone that would be able to do the work themselves. The 545RFE in later years were pretty solid transmissions as long as it went through a couple transmission fluid changes in the 200k miles time span. The ZF8 in modern Rams are about as solid as they come.

Iv got a 2nd gen that has been in the family since new and has 310xxx with original trans.

Haaave you seen Car Trek?

I was thinking that too, and it doesn't feel forced like the American Top Gear did.

Thank you!

In what universe 🤯

No he did not

The k1500 is the best deal

I love the dodge ram sport truck, and that being said that is the most expensive problem of the bunch,,, and I definitely take the k1500 Cheyenne 305vortec!!

And I have a 2000 dodge ram laramie slt quad cab long bed 1500 5.2 litre 318 magnum V8 46 RE AT 4x4 because it is rare to find a long bed club or quad cab sport especially in the 1500 trucks.

Low

Can't really call it odds. More of a 100% guarantee.

@@numbnutz9398 I know a guy with 300k on his automatic with no problems with it

Surprised the engine didn’t blow up on Moab

@@angelgjr1999 the engines dodge makes are good. The transmission is what you survive to worry about on some of them

That would be as futile as the truck pull ... They are all tanks

Yes this!!!

Hello how are you doing I hope you good . how’s your health and the weather ?

@@nancyhelm4808 what are you talkin bout Willis?

Thats funny my 96 k1500 fuel pump went out at the same mileage. I bought a new ram and my old Silverado was more more reliable. I had to get rid of the ram it was not a good truck.

I own the same bad ass dependable,cranks every time I turn the key!!! Just put 14 bolt rear end and I love it original aluminum driveshaft bolted right up all hardware lined up great , probably because I took my time and drove my 2003 black z-71 5.3 ext can cat eye ,love them both probably have both when I cross the finish line of life!!!

Rebuilt tans not reliable that chevy broke down

Hello how are you doing?! Nice to meet you I would like to get know

Your comment made me realize I've been watching this channel since 2014ish.

Msolomon you really went deep you got brown stuff in your nose

By that virtue he did loose since he was dragged a couple of feet but didn't gain any ground when actually trying.

..back in the day..maybe but nothing but junk since mid 90s

@@aldo-228 I love my GMT800. Torsion bars make them impractical to lift, but in stock form with good tires I wouldn't trade it for anything

Literally doesn't even matter if its the 305 or 350 neither. Great truck period lol

@@kevinbennett2565 seriously. Those little tanks are still everywhere.

@@aldo-228 eh agree to disagree. These things are hard to kill. I’ve been around tons of these and 99’-07’ models and the maintenance is pretty minimal. Newer Chevy trucks are not so great.

Put it back on 17” wheels and it’d be a much better truck

Yes sir. I have a 2013 duramax now and still miss my 1998 Silverado.

@@jordanlongino I think the advantage we had in those old 90s trucks, was the computers in them barely did anything. It was still good ole classic engineering that was easy to fix and if taken care of would last.

@@SuperSnakePlissken compared to Ford and dodge those tbi were glorified carbs and vortec with the step up with multiport injection and obd2, still has half the shit other makes has and still keeps up

Id take the dodge

The Chevy, current owner of a '90 k1500 with a 5.7. Reliable and reasonably easy to fix when needed. I do own an '86 F150 4x4 which I love too, but it has a surging idle issue no one seems to be able to figure out.

Ain’t nothing complicated to work on the ford...you just need to know what you are doing...

*too That's probably why you think Ford is difficult to work on.

@@samhollan4570 man I'm just saying my opinion they are all good

I was surprised that he dug one up with the 'ol 305. Most of them do seem to have the 350

For the guys with the 305 👀👀👀👀😂

Because the used truck market is very crazy right now. It's VERY hard to find any used 4x4 truck in good condition.

Very hard to find any used trucks in decent conditions at the moment

@@TFLtruck I recently lucked into a rust free 95 F150 Flareside 4x4 for 3200.00. Was in storage for 8 years and still has the original shocks and EXHAUST from the manifolds to tailpipe. Everything else anywhere under 6k looked like it had 3 hobos and waterbuffalo living in it and had been used for a salt spray test.

🤣👍💪

I feel like if he would’ve just done smaller wheels it would be totally different those 20’s killed him off-road

And if the ford was locked he wouldn't have had any issues. I had an 07 with the H9 axle set up, limited slip front and rear. Couldn't get that thing stuck no matter how hard I tried. Lol

@@itchytriggerfinger7622 I think your confusing the Dodge and the Ford. That Dodge front end had to be rebuilt off camera to make it road worthy.

These guys are idiots. Remember that.

Hello Johnny how are you doing I hope you doing good during this uncertain days how your health? Nice to meet you

I currently own a ford and love it, but I know from lots of experience those old chevys are great trucks! And they get around way better than they prolly should...

That era GM will run like crap longer than most vehicles will ever run

True or else it would of spun those tires fast its a torque engine. You can tell from the begining when they bought it it had a check engine light that said it had a bad torque converter. Never changed just drove it til the end of this series and now the tranny is going bye bye yet held up 😂. I thought he was gonna blow it up the hill or the tug of war but it still remain in tact

@@sergzamor1268 I had a 97 and it was my favorite truck. Two transmissions only towing a boat from time to time and 12 miles per gallon on highway or in the city were it's downfall. It had excellent power and I thought a great ride at the time.

@@dalejones4322 dang. Well i have 96 thats running strong sat for 6 years started and everything works on it tranny still the original. My dad used it alot for wood he even made it pull a big log in the grass lol. And then it sat for 6 years til it was passed on to me and it still runs and drives. Its got the 46re with 5.2. I own a 99 5.2 that one had a 42re and it blew up so from experience the 42re arent that good thier light duty they hold up if you maintain it and dont pull things. The 46re is heavy duty and it seems to hold up well but from my side its been awesome so i got nothing to complain about it. The manuals are probably the best option for these truck tbh

@@dalejones4322 Those dodge transmissions are stronger then the 4l60e that’s in that Chevy. What kills them more times is the cooling system in the dodge.

Hello Ron how are you doing nice to meet you I hope you doing good during this uncertain days . I am Nancy and I would like to know you

Hello Mike how are you doing?? I hope you doing good during the uncertain days . how’s your health

I second that

Hello Emma how are you doing?? Nice to meet you I would like to get know you if you don’t mind

Hello Randy how are you doing? I hope you doing well how’s your health?

Yeah a 5.7 Chevy and the 5.4 Ford would be more fair ish

5.7 Chevy vs 5.8 Ford vs 5.9 Dodge (9th gen f150 should be the matchup) or 5.3 VORTEC vs 5.4 Triton vs 5.7 HEMI!

@@brandedmcgowan9414 the 6.0 vortec would be a better match with the 5.4 which is over head cam and the 5.7 is a hemi so the .7 liter should represent well beside that would be each manufacturers biggest light truck engine. Also the Cadillac 6.0 has higher hp and lower reciprocating mass

@@randyyoung9892 you're talking Vortec max (HO) right?

Hello how are you doing?? Nice to meet you I would like to know you if you don’t mind

@@nancyhelm4808 thats a little bit of a strange request to a minor that you have never met

Hello how are you doing??

agreed, also add Toyota to the mix. maybe like an 05 Tundra vs 05 Silverado vs 05 F-150 and 05 Ram.

Nah, ten grand makes it too easy. You can get a damn good truck for that. I'd like to see them get into MY price range: $2500!

The chevy is the most reliable overall but offroading with these years of silverados is no fun lol pretty gutless when stock. The ford 4.6 is damn near bullet proof but cant say the same for the rest of the truck but not bad! The ram can handle offroading well and drives nice but definitely the least reliable of the 3 especially it being a 5.9.

The results are to be expected. The chevy is the most reliable which stands out to me the most.

@@Fr3sh-Kush ford is more reliable then Chevy...not even a argument but I still love them old school chevys

@@jerredwayne8401 very true but any chevy after 2006 starts becoming garbage. Chevy took a good engine amd made it garbage after 2007😢

@@Fr3sh-Kush not sure what engine you mean bud?

Yeah them old chevys are beautiful

We just had the Dodge transmission rebuilt.

@@TFLtruck sadly, no one is surprised

Hello Zach how are you doing??

Hint: Don’t get the trans rebuilt at Jiffy lube for starters

@@paulhunter9613 hello Paul how are you doing??

The challenge is about 5k or under trucks . No other rules . So it’s mostly on who can get a better truck for 5k. And not on equality .

@@carlostarazon9291 ok but the challenge isn't equal if one has an offroad tire and the other a highway tire..they are after all testing it where? Of course the differences between them is what we are measuring not which one has better traction offroad because of the tire discrepancies..

@@aldo-228 back to the point . Challenge is on who makes a better decision with 5k.

Hello John how are you are doing I hope things are going on well during the uncertain days . how’s your health ?

Maybe a locker for sure

Like a rock

Motortrend has people with real knowledge and can drive lol you don’t see these guys do any real driving or building their own trucks because they lack the knowledge

And only 70s to mid 80s

Same. She's been ole Faithful for me so far for the 5 years I've had her. About to hit 200k Miles on my 2001 F150 4.6L. I'n the 5 Years I've had her she's only needed Tires, Brakes, a Battery, and Exhaust Manifold Gaskets. I change the oil ever 3-4k miles.

Hello Sam how are you doing?? I hope you doing good during this pandemic?

Agreed, maybe he was just keeping it fair for the other two! Lol

Eh maybe also if the dodge trans wasnt crap it would of put out more than it did in the video it should been fast from the start but it was bought with tc being bad. Agree that 5.7 z71 would do wonders but i still think the 5.9 would put up a good fight if its trans was in good shape

If Roman would have gotten a Ford with a limited slip he would have dominated.

@@BC08 not a chance...

@@sprsprtrudy It already dominated in ever way except traction because Dodge has LS diff and the Ford had an open diff. So take the truck that already dominated and add limited slip and it totally dominates. Not a hard concept to grasp

Yea that Dodge was used Towing a fifth wheel trailer of some kind. Talk about abuse on a 1/2 ton and tranny
