0:00:00 > 0:00:02'Now, on Top Gear.'
0:00:04 > 0:00:06'We're all about who's best.'
0:00:07 > 0:00:08He's spinning!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'Tanner goes deep into the swamp to race an airboat.'
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Oh no! There he is!
0:00:13 > 0:00:16'Bill Enngvall races around our track.'
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Woo-hoo! Ha-ha-ha!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20'And we fight to prove who can choose the best
0:00:20 > 0:00:23'American heavy-duty truck.'
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Y'all watch this.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42APPLAUSE
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Welcome to Top Gear. Now, we love our trucks.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48And what's better than a truck? More truck.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Yep, you slap an extra set of wheels on the back, and you got yourself a dually.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And to find out which dually was the strongest,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59we went to Eagle Mountain Mine in California to battle it out.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11'Trucks. They make up more than half the vehicle sales for the US.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13'But which one is king?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17'We each chose what we thought was the biggest, baddest truck in the country,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21'and took 'em into the desert for a showdown.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25'Adam chose the Ram 3500.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27'Tanner chose the Ford F-450.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32'And I brought the Chevy HD3500.'
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You know what vehicle the Secret Service chose
0:01:34 > 0:01:38to underpin the new presidential limo, nicknamed "The Beast"?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42It may look like a Cadillac on the outside, but underneath, it's all Chevy truck.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43As if you needed any more convincing
0:01:43 > 0:01:45that THIS is the best heavy-duty truck.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Gentlemen, you've finally been outgunned.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00For once, I landed the king of the hill on one of these challenges.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Please. That?- Yeah, this. - How do you figure?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07You know that this is the truck that outsells both of these almost two to one.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Justin Bieber can pack a full house, that doesn't mean I'm going.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12OK, that's right.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16You're right. It's all really about the numbers. 24,400 pounds.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- When are you going to need to tow 24,400...- I tow my trailer.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20When do you tow anything?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Two race cars in a big-ass trailer. - You don't tow that!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26You fly. You get in the car, you drive and you fly home.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29There's somebody towing that, and I have to get the truck.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31What can the Dodge do?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's not even a Dodge anymore, it's a Ram.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You mean Dodge was so embarrassed by it,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38they're like "We can't even put our own name on it."
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Dodge, embarrassed by a tough truck? No. This was so tough it was asked to leave.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45They told it "Excuse me, you're frightening the mini-vans.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47"All the caravans are crying, you have to go."
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Guys, you clearly didn't notice that I brought the Chevy HD.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- I mean, that's the coolest one. - You think?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- It's like an Escalade!- Do you have air-conditioned seats?- Yes.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58You know why? You have ass-sweat.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I'm hard working. I'm out there, getting it done. I might need air-conditioned seats.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04(ADAM LAUGHS) What are you getting done?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07The Chevy HD. Out there, getting it done.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Look, 800 foot-pounds of torque. Anybody got anything on that?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I've got 765. But I'm telling you, that sucker's fast.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17The Ford is quick. Even with a trailer, it pulls like a freight train.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Fast? How fast is it?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's quick.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I think we should find out which truck is the quickest.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Really? You thinking what I'm thinking?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26- Drag race?- Three wide.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- It is on!- Let's go.- It is on!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33'My Ford had 400 horsepower.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36'Rutledge's Chevy had 397, so we were pretty evenly matched.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39'Adam? Not so much.'
0:03:39 > 0:03:42OK. I have six cylinders. I'm going to lose.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I know I'm going to lose. The only question is, by how much?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49The key to any good drag race is the launch.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I'm going to start in second gear with a little bit of a burnout.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Just going to see how that goes. OK, gentlemen. You ready?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Tally-ho!- Ready!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02OK, and we'll do it in
0:04:02 > 0:04:04three,
0:04:04 > 0:04:05two,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08one, go!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Oh, not the best start!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Come on, baby! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go! Oh, yes!
0:04:18 > 0:04:19No-o-o-o!
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Come on! Shift, shift, shift! Oh, my God! 40, 50. Shift!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Come on, 800 foot-pounds of torque, 800 foot-pounds of torque.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Rocket ship!
0:04:32 > 0:04:3460, 65. Shift!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Oh, it's so close! Come on, Chevy!
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Shift! Thank you. Oh, so soon?
0:04:43 > 0:04:4575, 80. I'm nosing it!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47No-o-o-o-o-o!
0:04:49 > 0:04:54I beat that Ford! Yeah! That's like a rock, baby!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I'm thinking the burnout was a bad idea on my part.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Cos you beat me by, like, four inches.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I had at least a car length.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It was probably less than... Hey, Adam, you're back. How you doing?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Adam, did you go when Tanner counted?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13All right, all right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Tanner, it doesn't matter whether you win by an inch, or you win by a mile.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Those are NASCAR words, aren't they?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Uh, no, it was Vin Diesel in the first Fast And The Furious.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25'Rutledge can keep his Chevy. For me, it's all about the Ford.'
0:05:25 > 0:05:29OK. I have had five Super Duty trucks.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I've had F-350s, I've had the earlier version,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37two of the F-450s, and now I have a Super Duty 350 with this motor.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42And I think the Ford Super Duty can do just about everything well.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And I think it's the best workhorse money can buy.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Thank you!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51No! You got to be kidding me!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53By an inch or a mile.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54And where were you?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I was making sure you guys were keeping it fair.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I have six cylinders. You guys should've beat me by a lot more than that.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- You kidding me? - But it was like three inches.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's a long, sad story. You still lost.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Point is, we went 80 miles an hour. That's a horsepower test,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10that's not a torque test. Trucks are about torque.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- Well, you have more horsepower than me.- Three more!- Either way, you lost.- No. It's heavy.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16It's an 8,000 pound truck.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It's way heavier than mine, that's why. That's why.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- What are you trying to say? - I'm saying, with trucks, it's about torque.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27And for torque, it's the twisting power. It's like, smoking tyres, burnout, pulling trailers.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32So, what you're saying in a roundabout way, is you would like a burnout test?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I think a burnout competition. Because it's about torque.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- You want to run double 11s? - Double 11s with the duallys.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39- Longest one wins?- Yes.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Your honour.- I'm up? - You're up.- All right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's going to be a big fail.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49'To find out which of our trucks could apply the most power to the ground,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52'we conducted a very scientific test.'
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- You guys ready?- Ready!
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Light 'em up!
0:06:57 > 0:07:02Left foot on the brake, and I'm just going to mash the accelerator.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06- What?!- Doesn't look good.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- What?!- Hold on one second, I got to get it squared up.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- What's he saying?- I don't know. Where's he going?- I don't know.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16That didn't work, so plan B.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22I find it hard to believe a truck with 760 foot-pounds of torque cannot spin the tyres.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23I thought he'd at least break 'em loose.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Your truck'll break 'em loose, right?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yeah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What is...? He's backing up.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- The shame. - He's going to do this in reverse!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Whoa, that's funny! You're killing me!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42ADAM LAUGHS
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Woo!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Can you see them?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46That was depressing.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Look at that!- Yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Must be 30 feet. Look at 'em! They're great.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- They're great. - Those... That's not yours.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Adam, could you do burnout with your diesel truck?- Watch and learn.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Are you going to stand here while he does this?- No.- Hell, no!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Seen this before.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15OK, I got to be honest with you. I don't think this thing can break 'em loose. I'm going to try.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18He's got, what? Eight pounds of torque?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Hit it!- Do your worst, buddy. I'm sorry in advance.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32He did some! OK, now YOUR truck sucks!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I'll be honest, that's a lot better than I thought.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Look, it goes all the way to the second line.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- It's hard, my marks are so dark it's hard to tell.- Whatever.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Easy to get 'em confused.
0:08:45 > 0:08:4718, 19, still going.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Look at that!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- 24.- 24?- I don't know what that means in distance, though.
0:08:51 > 0:08:5324 little Tanner feet?
0:08:53 > 0:08:5724 big, giant... I'm going to go do a burnout.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- What do you think? - Here's the problem.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10It's him, so he can do this kind of stuff. So it's really not fair.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Traction control, off. AC, off.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15You guys good?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I think you've got no chance. I think he's got you beat.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Well, I think I did mine forward. That should count for something.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- What's he doing now? - I don't know.- Oh, OK. Yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Now you're just showing off. Now you're just showing off!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45America! America!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48America!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50It's not funny.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- I get it.- I get it. OK. - I get it. You win.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Oh, you're awesome!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Come on! Really?!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13RUTLEDGE COUGHS
0:10:13 > 0:10:17TANNER LAUGHS
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Still going.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- TANNER SHOUTS:- I'm going to go get some coffee, OK?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I'll be back in a little bit.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- That didn't feel just a little bit over the top?- Nope.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I didn't do that to you when I beat you in the race.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- You just said that to point out you beat me in the drag race.- I did.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Well, I think we can all agree that the F-450 is the best dually on the planet, yes?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46CHEERING
0:10:46 > 0:10:49But, if you think that was tough, take a look at this.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53This is the Rally Fighter from a company called Local Motors.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57This is an actual production car, one of 30 made. I got a chance to drive the prototype.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02They claim it can handle anything. So I took it to the most hostile environment on the planet.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07'To find the largest swamp in the US,
0:11:07 > 0:11:12'you have to head deep into the damp, dark heart of southern Louisiana.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18'There lies the Atchafalaya swamp. 600,000 acres of slow-moving water and lush vegetation.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21'These low-lying wetlands are in constant evolution,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24'and are home to hundreds of species,
0:11:24 > 0:11:29'including thousands of alligators, numerous poisonous snakes,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33'several billion mosquitoes, and a few crazy locals.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40'So I had the location, now I needed something to race the Rally Fighter against.'
0:11:40 > 0:11:43It's a bit of a weird place, the swamp. It's not a place you'd normally drive.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47But there is one local motor that's perfect for the swamp.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55An airboat.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57'An airboat is a simple machine.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01'Not much more than a tin tray with an engine and propeller bolted on it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05'In engineering terms, it's about as complicated as a sledgehammer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10'But it's incredibly effective at getting through unpassable areas.'
0:12:11 > 0:12:14This is not your normal airboat. Look at it!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17This is the Godzilla of airboats.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20This thing has won airboat competitions.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22That's right, there are airboat competitions.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26It's got a V8 that's supercharged with 800 horsepower.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27It's unbelievable.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32There's one thing that everybody knows in the swamp.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38Airboats are difficult to drive. So, to handle a beast like this, we needed the most skilled driver.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Which is this guy.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41'Stan Floyd owns and runs American Airboats
0:12:41 > 0:12:44'and has been building and designing them for 50 years.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47'But that's not all. He's Texan.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52'And a Vietnam vet, and possibly the best airboat driver on the planet.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56'Basically, if you're into airboats, then Stan is your god.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05'Stan may be the man when it comes to airboats,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08'but he's going to have his hands full racing this.'
0:13:10 > 0:13:12You've got to be kidding me!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I'm loving it!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22'This is the Rally Fighter.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25'It's not a dune buggy or a trophy truck.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30'It's an off-road beast that can handle any kind of terrain.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36'But, amazingly, you can also drive it to work.'
0:13:37 > 0:13:40If you want a vehicle you can legally drive on the road,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43and then literally drive across the border
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and enter into the Baja 1000, you probably need one of these.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51The craziest part about this thing is that Local Motors didn't even design it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55It was designed on the internet.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57'Yup, you heard me. The internet.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00'They held an open competition on the web,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02'and an online vote decided the winner.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07'So, what does all this social networking and auto Tweeting get you?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12'For 60 grand, what you get is a Corvette engine,
0:14:12 > 0:14:13'but Miata door handles.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19'You get a Ford truck rear end, but Honda Civic tail lights.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23'You get a Chevrolet transmission, but an F-150 steering wheel.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28'It all sounds like a recipe for disaster, but then you drive it.'
0:14:29 > 0:14:32All right, we want some speed, now.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Come on, baby!
0:14:35 > 0:14:40'The 430 horsepower engine has enough torque to start a sandstorm.'
0:14:40 > 0:14:42My god! This is street legal?!
0:14:42 > 0:14:46'The suspension has enough travel to collect Frequent Flyer points.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52'18 inches in front, and a staggering 20 inches in the rear.'
0:14:55 > 0:14:57This is a rough ride.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08This is ridiculous.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Pure ridiculousness.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16'It might be ridiculous, but it works.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19'Somehow all those random parts of designs have come together
0:15:19 > 0:15:21'to make a formidable machine.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25'I was really starting to like the Rally Fighter.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29'And I thought it was time to introduce it to the swamp.'
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Oh no!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I'm getting absolutely soaked!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Oh, God! That was a tree.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Uh-oh!
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Killed it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51IGNITION FAILS
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Uh, let's bring the mechanic down.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56- OVER RADIO:- Copy, stand by.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01It was about to re-fire, just you could hear rattling
0:16:01 > 0:16:02and I shut it off.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Let's fire it up. Give it a try.- You sure?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Absolutely. - Is it already done-done?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09We can do no harm. Come on. Let her rip.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Really?- Come on, do it!
0:16:11 > 0:16:12IGNITION NOISE
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Ooh. It is a funny... Come on, still, let's try it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- No, that finished it. - That was it?- You do it.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- I don't want to kill it.- All right.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Pushing the button.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- I think she's seized. - I believe she's a dead player.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'm out of here.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35My new shoes.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38'I had killed the Rally Fighter.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39'But luckily I had a backup.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42'So the race against the airboat was still on.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49'The race would be six miles long, and the route,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51'completely unpredictable.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54'I'd be on a mixture of rough trails,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57'gravel levee roads and farm tracks.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00'And the airboat would travel along the shoreline to begin,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03'before heading deep into the swamp to the finish.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06'I was expecting the start line to be near the water,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08'but Stan had other ideas.'
0:17:10 > 0:17:13So, Stan, are you actually going to drive down the street with that?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Yeah.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Have you ever had this on pavement before?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Yeah. At the Armadillo Nationals in Houston.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- It's called the Armadillo Nationals? - Armadillo Nationals! After I passed,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and it blew the Christmas tree down,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28the track officials were very upset with me.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Are you allowed back there? - Probably not.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- All right, let's do this. - All right.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37You're not going to mind an old Texan kicking your ass, right?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49'I was worried about the backwash from the props.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52'I should have worried more about Stan's math.'
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Five,
0:17:53 > 0:17:54four,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56three, two,
0:17:56 > 0:17:57one, go!
0:18:00 > 0:18:03'Turned out Stan couldn't count.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06'And he also was completely insane.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09'His crazy levee stunt had given him a huge lead.'
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Oh, my god! What kind of route is this?!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21'Stan hit the open water and opened up the big V8.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24'80 miles an hour in just 400 feet.'
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Go, go, go, go, go!
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Little bit of a jump.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34'18 inches from Stan's head,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37'the prop was travelling at the speed of sound,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40'creating 150-mile-an-hour backwash.'
0:18:43 > 0:18:45It is so bumpy!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I think I can get up on the levee now.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51He's so far ahead of me at this point.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53'While I crashed around on the banks,
0:18:53 > 0:18:58'Stan was gliding serenely across the glassy water. He was destroying me.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05'I finally made it to the levee road.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07'6 feet of dirt, a 50-foot drop on each side,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10'but it was all I needed to get on the gas.'
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Now we're laying down some speed. 80, 90.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17100 miles an hour on a levee!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I've done a few smarter things in my life, I think.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25I just can't let a guy with a Hawaiian shirt beat me - that's really what it comes down to.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30'Stan had navigated away from the shore,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32'and was now halfway to the finish line.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36'And the gators were ducking.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39'The airboat god of thunder was approaching.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46'But the murky waters concealed rotting cypress stumps.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49'Stan had to slow, or risk an impact that could flip the boat.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53'An airboat has no brakes and no reverse.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55'Driving one takes real commitment.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59'Three miles in, and I'd finally hit the end of the levee road.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02'Up ahead lay two miles of farmland and horse trails.'
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Where am I going?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Holy crap!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16'Stan had also steered away from the swamp,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19'Over the levee and into the bayou.'
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Is it worth 60 grand? I don't know.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30You certainly won't have any worries about making it to work.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Big bump.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46There he is!
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Holy...
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Oh, my gosh.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53'Stan's little shortcut had given him the lead.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58'With just two miles to go, I had no choice but to go all-out.'
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Oh!
0:21:03 > 0:21:07This thing is tough as nails. Big corner. Hang on.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I can't think of another production vehicle
0:21:09 > 0:21:12that can take the hit that I just did and it's fine.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15This truck is a tank or car, whatever it is.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Stan was now back in the swamp picking up speed,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21while I had a farm between me and the levy.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23It was too close to call.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Finally, I hit the levee again.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43There was a straight run from here to the finish one mile away.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47The question was, where was Stan? Oh no, there he is.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Oh my gosh!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11That hurt, that hurt a lot.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Go, go, this is it right here.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Stan had edged ahead of me with just 500 yards to go.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It was now or never.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I had to floor it or Jimmy Buffett and the flying hairdryer
0:22:24 > 0:22:28would be drinking the victory beer.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Wow!
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Yes! Yes!
0:22:48 > 0:22:53He almost flipped it. Oh my gosh!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Our America's strongest truck challenge started off great
0:23:00 > 0:23:02with me winning in the drag race, thank you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And then Tanner won the burn-out challenge.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Race boy was really starting to get annoying,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13so we decided to teach him a lesson in the next challenge.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Each of us had to pick what we thought was the toughest truck.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22I of course chose the Ram.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Tanner, the Ford, and Rutledge, the Chevy.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29We were having a competition to prove who had the best.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Tanner and Rutledge each had one victory.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Yeah, that's like a rock, baby!
0:23:37 > 0:23:40So we drove high into the hills for our third test.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- This is it.- This is it?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Look at this, it's the perfect thing to test a truck's off-road prowess.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00This is a runaway truck ramp, used to stop 80,000 lb-plus trucks
0:24:00 > 0:24:02coming down this huge hill.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06This is like rock quicksand. This stops 80,000 lb trucks.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11The problem with the plan, and I respect you wanting to try that,
0:24:11 > 0:24:12making this in the Chevy.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14You've got independent front suspension
0:24:14 > 0:24:19which is awesome on the road, terrible for off-road.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Oh, I'm Mr Straight Axle.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Hey y'all, I've got a straight axle.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Y'all watch this. IFS and all. I'm going to the top.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33After Tanner's gratuitous burn-out,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36he had little tread left on his tyres so he was at a disadvantage.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40All I had to do was make it to the top.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43All right, so we're auto.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I know you can do this, let's build a little boost and let's take off.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50What?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Oh, there it is. Yeah, Hi Ho Silver and away.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Hello.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Yeah, look at that. Dig it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- I'm glad I don't work here if that's the runaway truck thing.- Right.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Right! Do you feel like you're going to have a problem?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Not at all. I'll show you.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12'Rutledge made it up the hill, now all I had to do
0:25:12 > 0:25:17'was get to the top and we would have Tanner exactly where we wanted him.'
0:25:17 > 0:25:18OK, go for it!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Goodbye. That's it, see.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Step on the gas and climb the hill like a man.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Like a man!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Ha-ha!
0:25:31 > 0:25:34HE BEATS HIS CHEST
0:25:34 > 0:25:36That is just crazy.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40'Our trap was set. Tanner may have thought this was an easy challenge
0:25:40 > 0:25:43'but a slow climb like this requires good traction.'
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Are you ready?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46HE LAUGHS
0:25:49 > 0:25:51There he goes.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52That's dangerous.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54That's digging.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56We are really going for it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Can you see that solid axle jumping?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01He's spinning, he's spinning!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03LAUGHTER
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- Yes.- He's spinning.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Come on, you super. You're a super.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Goddammit.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15That's it.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16OK, one more try at it.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21LAUGHTER
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Just a second.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24No way, give it up.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Let it go.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Use your superpowers.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34He is digging, digging and digging.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Dude, is that thing buried up to the axle?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Yeah, half a tyre's in there.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Damn it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45THEY LAUGH
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Here's the thing.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51There's no thing.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Here's the thing, it's the tread.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01You know what, you're absolutely right.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03That was a pile of super-doody.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09If you hadn't spent all that time riding circles
0:27:09 > 0:27:12and doughnuts around us, you'd have plenty of tyres left.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13I can do burnouts.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15That...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17No, no, no, you lost. Let it go.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I know, you're going to be up for days.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- It feel so sweet when you suck at something.- I know.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Oh, it feels good!
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- You know, I'm not done. - There's more.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33I think the Chevy can do way more stuff than this.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34I know the Ram can.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40We had successfully given Tanner a beat down.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43But, our toughest truck challenge wasn't over.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47The real test for a pickup is towing capacity.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50So, we set out to see who had the toughest truck.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55This is a great plan.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57This is a great plan, remember those words.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Towing capacity, what's yours?
0:27:59 > 0:28:0224,400.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06That's super-doody so it's on a different scale.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Mine is almost 30.- What?!- What?!
0:28:09 > 0:28:12It's 22. It's almost 30.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17I'm 21.7.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20So this is one I'm ready for, what have you got?
0:28:20 > 0:28:24We've seen all the commercials when people test trucks.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27It's always you can out-pull this guy pulling a boat or a trailer.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30What does it have to do with telephone poles?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34I just saw it and I thought it would be a cool thing to pull down.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38I respect the destructive nature in you. Let's let it happen.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42OK, in many famous men's words, watch this.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Does he know they're all hooked together?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51This telephone pole stands at about four storeys high
0:28:51 > 0:28:54and is dug 20 feet into the ground.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Pulling it down is a perfect way to demonstrate my Chevy's towing power.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03This is a great idea. Yes!
0:29:03 > 0:29:05He's going to electrocute all of us.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- No.- Yeah.- I'll be OK, just keep your feet off the ground.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Here.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14This is the stuff you dream about when you are a kid, right here.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I wonder if you can pull a telephone pole down with a truck?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I really like the idea,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22but it is one of the dumber ideas we've had on this show.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's pretty cool.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Four-wheel drive, Chevy, I know you can do it.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Here I go!
0:29:28 > 0:29:29Here I go!
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- Yeah, get angry at it! - Come on, let's go!
0:29:38 > 0:29:41I'm in full support of whatever's about to happen.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44It's coming down!
0:29:52 > 0:29:53SHOUTS WITH LAUGHTER
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- He got two!- Did you see that?
0:29:57 > 0:30:02- That was beautifully stupid! - I just ripped a telephone pole down!
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Chevy!
0:30:07 > 0:30:08But, to be fair,
0:30:08 > 0:30:12that's not really towing, it's pulling.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14I don't think that was all that impressive.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18You were hooked to the top. They look like they'd fall over on their own.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I tried to get one and I got two!
0:30:20 > 0:30:22It sounded rotten, the wood did.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Why not show me something cooler?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- I think I saw something.- Let's go.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28You did awesome!
0:30:28 > 0:30:30You did awesome, Chevy!
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Two poles!
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Somebody's going to have to clean all this up, you know.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43'Rutledge's first annual telephone pole pole-down was entertaining
0:30:43 > 0:30:47'but it wasn't the best way to show off a truck's towing capacity.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52'To show them my Ford was the toughest truck,
0:30:52 > 0:30:56'I found the biggest and heaviest thing around.'
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Pulling down a few toothpicks doesn't show what a truck can do.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I agree with you, but this?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Yeah, this shows what a truck can do.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07There's no way you'll be able to pull a train!
0:31:07 > 0:31:11You have an engine and a coal car. You know how much that weighs?
0:31:11 > 0:31:12That is 140 tons back there,
0:31:12 > 0:31:16280,000 lb of steel and iron.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- And what's your tow capacity? - Just shy of that.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21OK, it's not load-rated for what I'm about to do
0:31:21 > 0:31:26but I just want to prove to you why Ford is the ultimate truck.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- This is what "Made in America" means, my friends.- Step back.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I'm going to get a good vantage point here.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Truck. Train.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Truck, train, coal car.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Moron.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- This is never going to work. - This is 140 tons,
0:31:42 > 0:31:47280,000 lb of train. There is no way I can tow this.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Yeah! Oh, you almost got it!
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Come on!
0:31:56 > 0:31:57That rope's going to snap.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Come on!
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Now it's time for a part of the show we call Big Star, Small Car,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09where we put a celebrity in our Suzuki to see who can set the fastest lap time
0:32:09 > 0:32:12and our big star is one of my favourite comedians,
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Bill Engvall!
0:32:13 > 0:32:16CHEERING
0:32:16 > 0:32:17All right.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18You ready for this, pal?
0:32:18 > 0:32:22I am ready for this. I've watched the show, big fan of the show,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25I've signed the will and my kids are taken care of
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- and everything that needed to be evacuated got evacuated.- Good.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- I'm ready.- We can hose out anything that comes out of you.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I noticed it was Tefloned and all that, so that's good.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38OK, you get in, tear it up, I'll take the audience and meet you at the hangar.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40We'll see you in the hangar.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42All right, let's go. Have a good one, pal.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43CHEERING
0:32:43 > 0:32:48All right, here we go. The dumbest thing I've ever done.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52All right, he's off to a good start.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Until now.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Here comes the first turn.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Stay composed behind the wheel.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Sometimes you have to go slower to go faster.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- I turned on the wipers! - Apparently he heard it'll rain.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Bill is approaching a turn called the Teardrop.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09You cannot carry a lot of speed through here or you will spin out.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Oh, that was nice!
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- This is where you can really get on it.- Now we're getting the speed.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18There's an 85.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Oh, my God, 90.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Haven't taken out a camera, that's good.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- He's pretty good past the tyres. - Woo!
0:33:25 > 0:33:27HE LAUGHS
0:33:27 > 0:33:30And he's having a good time!
0:33:32 > 0:33:34My God, this thing has some juice!
0:33:34 > 0:33:37There you go, this is Cameraman's Curve coming up.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Oh, that went nice. Very nice, here we go.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Now taking it home, baby! Daddy's hauling the mail!
0:33:44 > 0:33:47OK, here comes Daddy with the mail around the last turn
0:33:47 > 0:33:50and he is across the line!
0:33:50 > 0:33:52That was better than sex, let me tell you that now.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I'm going to need a cigarette after this is over.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57APPLAUSE
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Bill! Come on up!
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Bill, come on up here.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Bill Engvall!
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- How was that, brother? Did you have fun?- That was crazy.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Yeah?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26There was times that it was really fun,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30then there were times I had things puckering I didn't know I had.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32LAUGHTER
0:34:32 > 0:34:33That's a lot like marriage!
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Yeah, exactly! - How did you like the Suzuki?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- You know, I was impressed with that little car.- Really?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- It had a little pep to it. - You need to raise your goals.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I will tell you, when the show called
0:34:48 > 0:34:51and said, "Do you want to be on?" I said of course
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and they said, "If you want to bring your own car, you can."
0:34:54 > 0:34:55And so I looked at my wife,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58who has an Aston Martin Vantage.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02And I said, "Honey?"
0:35:02 > 0:35:05And she goes, "No, no."
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- So, your wife has an Aston? - She has an Aston.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11I have a '50 Chevy pickup, that I've had redone.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14I have a '77 Volkswagen van.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- You still smoke pot?- Yeah.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- But it's all medical, now.- Yeah. - It's all purely medical.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25It's the glaucoma.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29And then I have a Mercedes S600, which I just love.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- That's big.- Yeah. I love that car but when you step on the gas, you hear this.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34SUCKING NOISE
0:35:34 > 0:35:37And just watch the gauge go...
0:35:37 > 0:35:39What was your first car?
0:35:39 > 0:35:44My first car ever was a 1962 Ford Falcon.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:35:45 > 0:35:48It was a two-door three-on-the-tree
0:35:48 > 0:35:51and I tricked that thing out.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52You pimped out a 62?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I had blue shag carpet in the back window,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57yeah, oh, it gets better,
0:35:57 > 0:36:01I had a metal foot for a gas pedal.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04And then I put my own eight-track in
0:36:04 > 0:36:09and had a date that night, so I got my best make-out music,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- the best of Bread.- Bread?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14And I'm driving, I pop that eight-track in,
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I'm driving, and suddenly I realise
0:36:16 > 0:36:20the whole car has filled with smoke because I've short-wired it somehow.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24It was a great car for me, it was a great make-out car,
0:36:24 > 0:36:27because the passenger seat, if you put enough weight on it,
0:36:27 > 0:36:30would fall backward.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Insta-bed.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Now, did you discover that, or did you rig that to happen?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39No, it actually happened by accident.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42My girlfriend at the time and I were parking outside of her house.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46And I leaned over to make my move
0:36:46 > 0:36:48and the seat just went...
0:36:48 > 0:36:52And she said, "Well, this is convenient."
0:36:52 > 0:36:54"Yes, it is!"
0:36:54 > 0:36:58I don't know why Ford never put that option in another car, because...
0:36:58 > 0:37:00I'm happy you're here. You enjoyed the lap?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- I had the greatest time.- How do you think you did? How fast?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05I don't know. I'm looking at those times
0:37:05 > 0:37:10and I worry that I'm going to be slower than Chumlee.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14I got to beat Buzz Aldrin. What is he, like, 90?
0:37:14 > 0:37:18But that's in moon time.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Well, let me tell you something. You did it in one...
0:37:23 > 0:37:26forty...
0:37:26 > 0:37:27four...
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Oh!
0:37:29 > 0:37:31..point three!
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Oh!
0:37:32 > 0:37:34CHEERING, APPLAUSE
0:37:37 > 0:37:38All right, all right!
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Put down Bret Michaels, baby!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49That's it, man! That's impressive!
0:37:49 > 0:37:52My pal Bill Engvall!
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Now, you're originally from Texas.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Correct.- Big trucks in Texas.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02If you don't have a truck, there's no point driving anything.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04What's, in your opinion, the best dually?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Best dually, for my money,
0:38:07 > 0:38:09would have to be the Dodge Ram.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11You're absolutely right. It is the Dodge Ram,
0:38:11 > 0:38:16which you will see as we get back to our Toughest Truck Challenge.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28This is what "Made in America" means, my friends. Step back.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I'm going to get a good vantage point here.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Yeah! Oh, you almost got it!
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Come on!
0:38:40 > 0:38:42That rope's going to snap.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Keep going, come on!
0:38:46 > 0:38:47It's moving.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52It's moving!
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Yes! That's what I'm talking about!
0:38:56 > 0:39:02There is no way he is pulling a train right now.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Are you kidding me?
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Yes!
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- Yeah, but it's on wheels.- Yeah.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- It's on wheels!- It doesn't count.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- You know what?- Doesn't count!
0:39:20 > 0:39:22It's a train!
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- On wheels!- No big deal.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Not impressive at all.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29I'll show you something impressive. Watch the Ram.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- Follow me, Thomas.- What?
0:39:32 > 0:39:36That's funny. That's about Thomas the Tank Engine.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40It's a kids' show. Thomas, he's a train.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44He's on an island and the front of the train is his face.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- What's the island called?- Sodor.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48So sad.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52There's Percy, there's Thomas...
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Um, there's Clara,
0:39:53 > 0:39:56there's a whole bunch of them, a whole gang of them.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01So, to top Tanner's Ford pulling a 280,00-lb train
0:40:01 > 0:40:04I needed something massive, gargantuan,
0:40:04 > 0:40:08something so big, I could prove that my Ram was the toughest truck.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Two termite-infested telephone poles
0:40:12 > 0:40:13and a train on wheels.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18- Hey...- Speak not, just watch. Watch and learn.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Here comes the Ram, boys!
0:40:20 > 0:40:23It was a 280,000-lb train.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24On wheels!
0:40:24 > 0:40:28The cables were still...I mean, it was a functioning telephone pole.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30HE CACKLES
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Such a bad idea. - We're going to pull down a house.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34CACKLES
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- Ah, this is going to be great. Total catastrophe.- Ready, fellas?
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- Uh...is there an answer to that question, really?- Here we go.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46You feel confident in his ability to do this?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49No, he's going to mess this all up, and it's a house.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Oh my gosh!
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Hey, you're...
0:40:53 > 0:40:55just digging a hole. That was impressive.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Watch him figure this out. This'll be good.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Remain calm! All is well.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03- That house is just laughing at you. - Yeah, he's going to yank it now.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Oh, this is going to look bad.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Almost there! Rome wasn't built in a day, fellas!
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Go big or go home!
0:41:21 > 0:41:26Oh, don't! Don't say that! Don't say that to him!
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Ha-ha!
0:41:32 > 0:41:34I think you did it.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37I'm pretty sure you just pulled that house down!
0:41:38 > 0:41:42You pulled this house down!
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I feel like a lot of asbestos just went into my lungs.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Are you OK?
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- That was awesome.- Yeah.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53So, I think we proved that the Ram is the toughest truck.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57I... The house, first of all, is not as heavy as the train.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01This thing was falling in on itself. Those poles were in the ground.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Those poles were put up during the Eisenhower administration. Stop it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Maybe, maybe. They were still in there.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10But they were rotten, and the train,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14a good wind could've blown that train, it was on wheels on a track. This was a house.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Gentlemen, I pulled down a house!
0:42:17 > 0:42:19It's pretty impressive.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21You took a lot of tries, though.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23We need to go before these people get home.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25OK. That's actually a good call.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27CHEERING, APPLAUSE
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Gentlemen, I hope you paid attention.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31That's how you prove you have the toughest dually.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34You pull down a house.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36CHEERING
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- Yes!- I've got to admit,
0:42:38 > 0:42:42I'm kind of confused at what that has to do with having a dually.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47People buy these trucks for towing, right? I'm the only one that actually towed anything.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50There's no description if you look in a truck magazine,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53let's see, has it pulled down a house? "Oh, yeah, it has."
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Has it, over its load capacity, pulled a train eight feet?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Oh, that's not on there either.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03"Wait a minute, honey! This pulled down telephone poles!
0:43:03 > 0:43:04"This is the truck for us!"
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- There's a footnote for that. - And for drag racing?
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Who buys pickups for speed,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12unless you're robbing a Walgreens in Georgia?
0:43:12 > 0:43:15I'll tell you who buys trucks for speed.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Everyone that buys a cool truck.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- AUDIENCE: Yeah!- Thank you.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22You beat me by four inches, maybe?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24I don't think that matters. I beat you.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26You smoked the tyres in the burnout
0:43:26 > 0:43:28and then we tied on the truck ramp,
0:43:28 > 0:43:31which means the Chevy is the strongest truck in America!
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- See you next time!- It's not!- It is!
