Thomson Reuters Eikon Polar being built in Iceland 

I was thinking the same thing. Wondering what axles they are using for those size of tires.

It was still ifs, which I'd like to know how it holds up.

Higher differential gear ratio

saintofconsequence If IFS is independent front suspension, the answer is that it don't. It is swaped in favor of a Live front suspention. If that is the correct word..

Do you really have to ask that question? Reliability. I bought a Tacoma after using them in Afghanistan. Nissan's requires higher grade of fuel to make those numbers. The Toyota can make higher number if you use a higher octane and change code. The 4runner with the same engine does it 270hp and 278tq.

First question, reliability. Second question, again, reliability and weight. If the tracks break down, you are in trouble half-way to the south pole. Not much can go wrong with a tire except for a puncture.

you should hear mine with the supercharger jba headers and full exhaust ;)

DFPV show them the money and they'll build you one.

i have one :D

You have one, in the form of a HiLux or a Tacoma? And what size?

Hilux AT37

you wanna see a stock raptor... do what an incredibly modified tacoma will..... mod a raptor like this and it will be better. cant compare a highly modded truck a stock truck. you can however compare two stock trucks. Lets see a stock tacoma do what a stock raptor can do. Dumbass

09FordFX4 They're two different classes of truck stock. The raptor was built for the sole purpose of offroading. Tacomas are more just......really reliable. I'd take my Tacoma over a Raptor any day. HOWEVER....if I had the opportunity to own a raptor, I definitely would. Both great trucks, but not in the same class.

i know, but read the original comment i was referring to.

See Ken Block Raptortrax.

Koua Her Big ones

Because on snow you want to be low and wide to spread weight. Source: I'm i-Icelandic

tracks are not good on road, how else do you intend to get to the snows?

Cuz it gets heavier, you want light, as in a perfect mountain truck from my perspective is a CJ-8, renovated and lengthened about 30cm, "46-48 D44-60 and 500Hp, should be lighter than these if made with lightweight components, fiber hoods and fenders and no unnecessary equipment

tracks are heavier and vastly more complicated than big tires. much more can go wrong with tracks, and you dont want that half way to the south pole.

Nokian 44" 70 R17, cost about $2,000 each in Norway. www.nokiantyres.com/company/news-article/knowhow-from-the-arctic-robust-nokian-hakkapeliitta-44-winter-tyre-is-the-newest-top-of-the-line-pro/

My taco would spank those V8's lol

***** running 350hp on mine ! Should see the look I get from Dodge and Ford guys when a "chick" truck leaves them in the dust

there are a bunch of fords and dodges with v8's

Kormákur Jónsson but they are much heavier

American trucks sucks....a suzuki jimny is better

William Santiago The F150 is on sale only in ONE continent. It is the worlds most sold Pick up due to the US and no other country. If you travel out into the world you won't see many F150's. Why they used a Tacoma I don't know. The HiLux you can get with the same engines. But unlike the F150, the Tacoma is supported by Arctic Trucks though. Now, why they don't use a V8. Fuel Consumption. I don't know if you have noticed, but there isn't very many petrol stations on the south pole. That is the reason why every one else is using HiLuxes or Land Cruisers (Prados) with 3 Litre Diesel and not 4 liter V6. Also. size. the car needs to fit in a shipping container. And to add on insult, the Tundra frame is weak as hell, and would most certainly struggle at he poles. The Nissan Titan i don't know anything about. More torque is to a certain degree not necessary due to gearing. As I'm sure you know. you can multiply torque by lowering gearing. The engine did not struggle making the wheels spinn, but rather it's important that you spin the tires slowly. It has nothing to do with lack of power. I don't really agree with your "There's no substitute for cubic inches,V8." If the Tacoma had been fitted with a 18,4 Litre Scania V8. it would have more torque than the world. 3550 Nm to be exact. But then. How are you suppose to fit the engine? It's large as hell. There is no substitute for correct size. If that is a 3 litre diesel straight four or a 4 liter V6 petrol, then so be it. It is the correct size for the frame, the body and the drivetrain. It's not always best to go for more power and little else. See Top Gear Polar Special. That is done with a 3 liter 170 horse diesel.

Ford f150 is only so u say #1 selling in the US not the world. If u talk about other continents the Toyota n Nissan are the best there is because of their reliability n durability second to none.

No, the F150 is the most sold pick up in the world due to the US. Even tho´ it´s only sold in Northern America. It is selling so much in the US that the sales done in one country is enough to make it the worlds most sold pick up. The Toyota and Nissan might be reliable, but that has nothing to do with sales. They, or at least where I'm from, Toyota has built up a name. I´m sure the Isuzu D-Max is more reliable than the HiLux, but everyone still wants the HiLux. this is all down to marketing and culture. Pepsi may be better than Coca Cola, but I always go for Coca Cola. We might think that the F150 is bad, due to the fact that it is not set up for our markeds. It has large and powerful engines, a pitiful excuse a payload capasity and its big. Things that, in my case, Europeans might se as a bad thing, but is perfect for Northern America. And lastly, can you please write complete words? Foreigner are suppose to read what you are saying, it is hard to guess every second word.

the f150 is a dinky hauler truck with way too high fuel consumption

Spininng tires + snow = stuck
