Top Gear Episode

Dont know if this is the right place for this post but did anyone catch the most recent episode of Top Gear on the History Channel? I was browsing through the channels this evening and saw it and they were looking for "America's Toughest Truck". Well it was between a 1977 Ford F250 4X4, 1997 Dodge 1500 4X4, and a 1983 Chevy half ton 4X4. The guys took the trucks into the Alaskan wilderness and beat the hell out of the trucks and the only survivor of the 3 was the '83 Chevy. Thought it was pretty awesome and thought I would share.

Was a pretty fun episode.

They DO have a ways to go on getting as epic as some of the UK's special episodes like that though.

I watched and and really liked it. They beat the heck out of those trucks. I was sorry to see the Ford break so soon, but It wasn't in all that good of shape to start out. I was surprised when the dodge let go, but they were pounding the heck out of them. And well, even though the Chevy finished first,... it could have broken down at any time too.

I thought it was a very cool episode.

And I want to know how he got that Dodge for so cheap. I kept waiting to find out how he cheated.

No way does that truck sell for that cheap.

yeah it was one of the only good American episodes.. that one and the one where they try and find the car GM should build again was funny.

They should of had a specific year range for the trucks... not just any random truck you can find for 3 grand.

the dodge definatley had problems, thats why it was 3k, hence the motor blew up.

I laughed when the guy in the dodge was climbing the hill and his house fell out of the bed. It was nice the chevy won.

Those toyota's are tough, no doubt about it, though. Stock, even tougher.

After my fuel lines rotted out on my 90 sierra then watching this top gear episode i was really about to sell it and buy a dodge ram like the "chuck norris"one i have to admit that it was a pretty bad ass truck and we all know that they sound extremely gooood BUT the motors are way weeaker and the trannys/rears are the same but the body is bad ass.But im staying with my gmcs i fixed the fuel line btw it costed me about 15 bucks.Bought a brand new peice of brake line and got (2) insulated clamps and torqued them until i couldn't anymore and shes ready to go.
