What’s Quicker, a Gas or Diesel Pickup Truck? Let’s Drag Race And Find Out! 

Hugh Jinvaney what distance do need to stop, I guess 1 mile :-) safety in 1 place I can't help laughing

danhalski all the words are there, but they seem to be in random order.

Why not start your trucks further back, this track is tiny for any type of drag racing as evidence by your constant panic stops and running into the grass......

Because you love the cringe factor?? This has to be a bot

That second c😧mmie with no beard seems like have drugaddiction !! Better to go back to his ground in societ

These guys are pretty heavily biased towards Ford, don't kid yourself. Huge Ford fans (Roman/Andre). Nathan I found to be the most level headed.

@@JohnSmith-ev1sm if biased toward Ford, why didnt they mention a 3.5 F150 would have beat any of these trucks?

John Smith from recent memory their last long term tests were Silverado trail boss ram rebel and Nissan Frontier they did recently pick up a f250. So I wouldn’t say they are Ford guys. I am a harsh critic of car shows on tv and RU-vid. Tfl guys are some of the best guys reviewing cars.

@@JohnSmith-ev1sm If you have been watching, you would know what Andre previous truck was and his current truck, guess he is a real Ford lover, just doesn't like driving them.

@@adamhulu6171 Logic fail? Just because they didn't do some arbitrary random thing you mention, doesn't mean they aren't biased. Watch their reviews carefully (not this one in particular), those 2 guys are very pro Ford.

😂😂

I remember when it was , can afford a new work truck? Now they re more than my first house.

Hopefully you're just poking fun at the absurdity of these videos and understand they cover all of the other bases and do these ones for fun. Too many people don't understand that

@@williamisabell9539 A Chevy work truck starts at $30k with no cruise control and crank windows. THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR NO CRUISE CONTROL? I really hope the auto bubble for trucks bursts soon, it has become absurd.

Brett Friedrichsen you must be new here.

Anthony Cee that would be a better Race

Anthony Cee yea that would be a cool race but a 3+ ton truck is not made for drag racing it’s made for pulling and carrying heavy loads. That’s why the f250 has 20 less mph top speed than f150. If a heavy truck goes too fast the axle (stock) could snap unless maybe the owner gets a better axle.

Cool Pizzo How would the axle snap because of speed?

Cool Pizzo tfl has raced dually diesel trucks recently. Also f150 has same topspeed as f250.... about 100-105 mph

@@digitalduuude2135 fastest I have gone with a f150 2019 for was 110 115 with the 5.0

Haha LMFAO

Yes, they wont be so rare on the used market now. Be cool to have a WT with a 6.2

Chuck Beef I agree it took me a while to find my 6.2 midnight edition back in 2017 there were a few in the high country trim but I don’t like Crome lol

Pete my first 6.2L was a 2010 and it was like pulling teeth with my dealer to bring it in. “You wont want that, too bad on gas. Take one of our 5.3L SLT’s instead “. My friend searched for 2 years to find his, rarest truck ive seen. It was a 2012 6.2L LTZ double cab, but it had the 5’8” box on a DC and not the 6’6” box. Awesome performance platform, but it was stolen and driven into a tree.

Chuck Beef Yea for some reason GM and dealers have made the 6.2L some mythical creature. To me that couple thousand is worth it for the 6.2L.

Bet fords 3.5 would mop it I like my gm’s

Haha, I was thinking that too. You guys need a better/longer straight track.

RIght?! I've never seen someone so nervous while going that slow.

Of course we couldn't see the truck, but from that reaction on his face, it looked liked he was about to have a wreck.🤣

Yeah max respect for the diesel wasn’t even considering one but now have to reconsider

Plus the new version has a bunch more HP and Torque

If you own one it will impress you even more. I've had fast diesels all my life and I just sold the 7.3 mod Ford and bought a High Country Silverado 1500 with the 3.0 diesel. The 3.0 diesel is plenty fast for an old man and the fuel mileage is fantastic. Plus the exhaust brake is super.

The 5.3 is quicker than the Diesel at sea level.

3.0 is definitely faster, I had both!

Yes sir, same here

love my AT4 Diesel in the mountains i was all over a ford rapter and could top hills better. Sure he gets me in 1/4 mile but he is screaming to top hills.

@@joseroldan3363 I love my 3.0l LM2. Amazing mpg and it slaughters the 5.3l at elevation and competes nicely against the 6.2l at elevation as well.

A few model years of the 5.3L V8 suffered with oil consumption issues and problems. GM has a gigantic class action lawsuit on the 8 speed automatic transmission used in full size SUV's and trucks.

They should have raced the 5.3 with the eco diesels the 5.3 should have beat them

The 5.3 is still a 14 second truck, and 6.2 nearly runs 13's stock.

Godzila is too heavy

@@USAMEXICO1982 yeah but why would you take the big beautiful thing on a drag race? I still like the 7.3 more and as he said the other trucks were stock the ford wasn't

😭😭😭😭I should have brought the 6.2 DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN🤷🏽‍♂️

It’ll pass anything but a gas station and I don’t care 😂

FutureRN_Corey _ They are great on gas if you stick with those garbage stock SRA tires but as soon as you put real tires on it takes a dump. I used to get better mileage with my 6.2 8spd than my 5.3 6spd before 33x12.5” on the 6.2.

@@ChuckBeefOG ......yeap I put 33x12.5 on my Denali....so I know what you are talking about 🤦🏽‍♂️

i had a 2014 gmc sierra with the 5.3 & 6 speed trans....gas mileage was decent...15-16 mpg city...traded it in 2 months ago for a 2020 sierra SLT with the 6.2L & 10 speed trans ..what a difference in power but i didnt know the 6.2 recommended fuel was 93 octane for best performace/mpg....in my area its 60 cents a gallon more and im only getting 13 mpg city now

Yeah, but even then, the regular gas can be safely used. You don't lose much in terms of mpg, even though the power drop is noticeable enough to feel in the seat of your pants

It’s really not that amazing. The 7.3 Ford was a gasser motor, not a power stroke. The massive power to weight ratio was the real killer here. Put a 10,000lb trailer on them and do the test again. Also, just so there’s no confusion, I am by no means a Ford guy, but this comparison is a little out there. I know it’s just fun, but something about apples and oranges.

Do you have the 8speed or 10?

Mystery Solver mine has the six speed, single cab SLE Sierra

Thx, im still trying to figure out what new truck would be better than my f150 that has been junk since i bought it 1 yesr ago

Silver bearded Irish yeah it barely beats out the 5.0 and gets its ass whooped by the 3.5 EB. GM is trash.

@@michaelhooker5914 Idiot. Work on your damn grammar. Barley is a leaf not an adjective. Also, the only reason the V6 eb beats the GM 6.2 is because it has turbos. Cheating will only get you so far.....

Barley is a grain not a leaf lol, and why does it matter if it’s turbocharged? The gm is 6.2 liters vs 3.5, obviously it’s going to need boost. And it works quite well spanking all the other brands in terms of performance.

@@randythomas9052 Yes and it costs more. The 3.5 is a small engine, it's not made to handle high loads. That's why the GM can tow more. I'd rather have a V8 for the extra punch and the sound is so much better. Sorry for the barley mistake.

@@noahmcclure2515 STFU

Don't, look at the engineering, she will be a hanger queen after 100K( you can't afford to repair this thing.)

Kevin McCune Yeah someone else was telling me the same thing. Something about a wet belt to run the oil pump. Had no clue what he was talking about but it sounded bad. Lol.

@@rgracia611 Engines are so good now, the engineers have to build in service points, the sad thing is it will be mostly the 2nd owners that face these astronomical repair costs, buy a gasser or a 3/4 ton real DMax.

They already did it, the ecoboost even with 3:31 gears spanked the 6.2L

@@johns3950 shoot the 2.7 would spank it.

Are trucks really about speed? They all have ample passing power and power in general, so...

@@johns3950 ..Not at sea level..

rlhmarines yeeep it definitely would at any level lol

I have a beautiful newer 2018 Z 71. 6.2. And you know what? I’ve never raced anyone with my truck.

Stock vs stock. 3.0 is much faster.

every video of people who bought one has had overheating problems

Yes its impressive my next truck 4 sure! But I'd wait for 2nd gen! 1st gen will have issues.

I have one and love it no issues here!

@@Vetteman6363 maybe lucky TK's Garage truck had problems at 146 miles

gulf city peterbilt confederacy 379 it’ll be fine it’s an inline 6 what could go wrong

At altitude it's a drives race. At sea level it's the 6.2s race to lose

Check out the Chevrolet Jackal...AND a regular Ford F-150 with 5.0L V8 at -------> PaxPower ( V8Raptor.com ). I prefer the regular Ford F-150 body with 5.0L V8 and either factory Raptor suspension.....OR...the better Icon aftermarket "Raptor style replacement" suspension and Whipple Supercharger...A Ford F-150 4WD incognito....." a wolf in sheep's clothing!!!"

This has to be a bot. Really great and fun? They're cringey

Chad BassMaster I’ve got a friend with a tuned one. The 6.2 hauls ass.

They do 0-60 in a hair over 5 seconds bone stock, they're no joke lol

Trevor C really????? Thats a serious time for a truck. Impressive. Its unfortunate the 7.3 doesn’t haul more ass. Its ine of the main reasons i love my 2016 diesel. The endless power

And these jack weeds always race the eco boost vs the 6.2 above sea level. Purposely I presume because they do it every time

@@chadbassmaster9084 the 7.3 only comes in a 2500 series. They should test the 6.6 chevy 2500 vs the 7.3

That sucker ripped,what would it do with a tuner( please leave those worthless CAIs out of the picture, the engines don't need to suck dirt.- I will admit you might gain 2HP at Redline)

AND the escalade as well

And the long wheel base models as well (suburban)

Lifter issues are much more common on the 5.3. The small duramax hasn’t been out long enough to know what issues it might have.

@@lesgrossman9492 the baby Duramax has been out plenty long to know if it has any problems as prevalent as the lifter issues in the gas motors. Apparently it doesn’t

This. But also the 6.2, and with towing

It's very tunable because it's turbo, the 6.2 is what it is

@@thomgt4 The 6.2 has a lot of room for tuning. It's built for longevity more than power. The only reason GM doesn't just throw a tuned modern corvette engine into a truck is because the "sport truck" craze never fully set in. But imagine if the big three started to make them again. The potential is massive compared to those days. I think the "sport truck" and "muscle truck" are gonna have a huge comeback. I mean, look at how many Americans buy trucks these days.

You mean like on a rollback?

Scroll down their video list. 🤦‍♂️

ecoboost would smack the 6.2.

Yup sad but ecoboost is faster thats only because the 6.2 is matted to a 3.23 compared to the 3.55 of the ford not a big difference but lets say 3.73 rear in the 6.2 it would be close.

I now own the 6.2 and I can tell you at sea level I can beat the eco boost from a dead stop to 100 the only way it beats me is if they actually break torque and spoil the turbos and even then I’m right there with them and I have the 8 speed racing the new f-150 with the eco boost ten speed

Sincere question. Why?

love mine!

Check mine out

There's no 6.6 gas it's a diesel.

@@billyhunt8983 there's both now. Gas and diesel for those heavy duty trucks

No 6.6 gas

@@a.k-1shot3 You are right I remember reading that they are coming out with one. I say it will smoke 7.3 from what I watched few days ago.

Buy the Ford.....not so much because of the great 7.3L gas engine...but because Ford.....and Dodge know how to build great 4WD trucks. The GM engineers do not have a clue on how to build a great 4WD Class 2 (2500) and Class 3 (3500) trucks. The Chevrolet and GMC 4WD trucks with IFS axle have very poor axle articulation resulting in inadequate wheel travel + low hanging frames with poor "breakover angle" = stuck truck.....due to no front tire traction and "high center" on uneven terrain in mud and snow off-road. GM trucks stuck off-road. I have seen this scenario play out numerous times in the Rocky mountain states! GM builds little girl "car like" grocery getting trucks! Ford and Dodge build brute man tough trucks that are capable of performing tough truck tasks on both paved highways and off-road in the mud and snow. In short......Chevrolet and GMC trucks are junk!!!

Rocket John the 5.3 is still slow 😂

The slowest 6.2L is still going to demolish the fastest 5.3L stock for stock.

@@nathanmcdonald610 you're right. There is no comparison. That's why I think when you're racing a 5.3 and a 6.2, its idiotic. I wouldn't call this a "race" I call it, my engine is bigger than yours....and let me prove it.
