as you've already heard the truck we
were able to get a pretty substantial
alcohol both out of a pop gas vehicle to
this point I don't know any other ECU we
could do that with
this truck started out as an original 34
Ford had a restoration on it when a
customer bought it he wanted to make a
full custom out of this vehicle and once
we stepped into that process we
incorporated the factory 34 frame which
he wanted to maintain everything was
designed around using an LS X engine
it's the 416 stroker in this truck now
all with 871 billet blower and running
behind a Holley Dominator with 16 fuel
injectors 8 under the Hat a tan intake
manifold backed up to a 4 L 80 stage 5
rpm trans some remarkable performance
and features out of the Holley Dominator
as you've already heard the truck we
were able to get a pretty substantial
alcohol loaf out of a pump gas vehicle
which I've had more response on that at
this point in time than anything on the
entire vehicle is how are you doing and
to this point I don't know any other ECU
we could do that with other than the
dominators doesn't matter if it sets for
5 hours or 10 minutes
you hit the key and it turns right over
and you know running the 16 48 for our
injectors it's just been remarkable you
know the Holley system controls that so
well that you know as we go into tip-in
you can automatically go in and look and
see that the second stage of injectors
are even coming in during tip ent and
with the data logging capabilities
we can go in and view every bit of that
so we know exactly what our target
fuel-air and everything is doing at any
given time and everything is custom
fabricated hand machined I mean
obviously we've incorporated a 32 grille
shell into a 34 and sloped everything
back he wanted to use the large
commercial series headlights on the
truck was another big big push so we've
custom fab Dahl the bracketry and
everything to handle the headlights and
hate everything come together well we've
been blessed to have a you know
obviously the talent to be able to do
our own fabrication and machining
in-house but I've been blessed to
surround myself with a lot of
manufacturers that really work hard to
provide us a lot of nice products you
know Holly I can't say enough about I
mean anytime I need anything those guys
are there for me if I need it they make
it happen
I hate to say it but all of you know my
friends like my brother over here and
it's like we all wish our summer away
for LS fest you know it's just one of
those events we just can't wait you know
so we've done LS ves West and then you
know obviously the LS fests down here

This 90-year-old Ford tri-motor airplane offers trips back in time - Duration: 2:56.
This airplane was built in the 1928-1929
and they were the original airliner. The
first airplane that made passenger
travel viable. Before that it was like
maybe one or two people in the back seat
or front seat of a biplane and with this
you could take 10, 11, 14 people along
with you and at a fairly fast speed.
At about 100 miles an hour which was very fast for back then.
1928 or 1929 was a
long time ago but when you think about
it it was only 25 years after the Wright
brothers first flew. This airplane is a
way advanced technology in that 25 years.
If you think about it with the Wright
brothers they could only carry one
passenger. It took them five years after
the Wright brothers first flew to carry
two people in an airplane. So
here it is only 20 years after that and
we're carrying up to 14, 15 people at 100
miles an hour is pretty impressive.
Not only that but it carried the people and
relative comfort in the back of the
airplane. It's also one of the first
all-metal airplanes and originally
airplanes were built out of fabric and
wood to keep them light as well as
aerodynamic and one of the problems with
making a metal airplane was how do you
make it light enough that you can carry
passengers and fly. And that's exactly
what they did with the aluminum on this
is they corrugated it so you can make
the aluminum that much lighter to make
the structure light enough that you
could actually carry enough people and
fuel to make it worthwhile. Well there
were about 200 of these built and they
flew passengers for about five years and
then these were obsolete because they
developed airplanes that used less power
than this, could go almost twice as fast
and carry the same people so we were
just learning so much about aviation at
that time and figuring out flight
controls and handling and performance
and all that sort of thing. Flying on
this compared to an airliner is a much
more relaxing experience you've got lots of legroom.
You got an aisle seat. You got a nice big
window next to you.
We don't go very high or very fast.
It's just very relaxing I
like flying in the back too because you
can just sit out and look at something
as you go by and there's the cows, the
houses, the cars, swimming pools, lakes,
whatever it's just a very enjoyable
experience and it's a neat way to see
the world. I'm a volunteer. All the folks
in the orange vests are volunteers. We're
not paid for this. We just do this
because it's a good thing to do and we
do charge money for it but it's
basically supports the program to be
exposed to this and see a neat piece of
history that you just couldn't see any
other way if we didn't do this.
-------------------------------------------
The Ford Fanatic - Duration: 9:54.
I'm Angelo Paletta from Burlington
this is the car Cathedral
Yeah I'm definitely a Ford fanatic.
I'm car crazy,
just love cars.
I have no other real passion;
no boats, no cottages, no bikes.
Cars are it.
This is a combination, car storage
not a museum,
definitely a working garage that people can come and see.
I have a second-story man cave
with a 50 style diner,
big screen TV,
a whole bunch of memorabilia from Ford,
big ... small.
Of course I have a Christmas tree,
it's Christmas every day of the year
at the car cathedral
and it's just a place to come and relax,
have some fun,
have some pizza,
charity events ...
let's get together barbecue
whatever.
So I have OCD "obsessive car disorder"
Ford's been part of my life from day one.
My father in the late 50s was Ford.
We drove Ford station wagons,
he had Torinos ...
he eventually graduated to Lincoln's.
Still drives a Lincoln today!
So the blue oval has been in my blood
for quite a while.
So this one here is a 2006 Canadian spec Ford GT.
This car had twenty four and a half miles on when I bought the car.
It's never been plated.
It has 29 miles on it.
All those miles have been done in my driveway
And this is really a super pristine car,
it is a collector's item
with the original stickers
plastic on the seats ...
the original window stickers from the factory
and you see it's a Canadian spec car,
because you actually see the Canadian flag on the windshield.
So ...
this Ford GT
is actually the first Ford GT I purchased.
It's the American Racing colours
white with blue stripe.
This is more of a daily driver for me
it's been on rallies in the states.
One thing that's really neat about this car,
we did in honor of Carol Shelby when he passed away,
and he actually signed the center console on this car.
This is an exact recreation ...
of the 1968 / 69
double Le Mans winner.
It's a recreation of car 1075
it's the only car to win Le Mans
two years in a row.
Ford actually used this car on display
when they launched a 2006
Canadian Ford GT.
But what's really unique about this car
it's exactly what it was built in the 60s
so the roof comes out with the door
it has the fuel cells are actually in the door sill
and there's two, one on each side.
This has the full five-point harness
you can still see the little rings,
that was ventilation,
right-hand drive,
right-hand shift.
and you'll see the actual inside here,
you see all the switches,
which Ford then reproduce
in 2006 when they built in 2005 / 2006 Ford GT
they used a similar style switch
to keep the authenticity of the car.
So this has true '48 IVA Webers.
Everyone knows the bundle of snakes
which was the exhaust,
for the cars back then.
And it has a 5-speed ZF transaxle,
so, mid engine mounted car,
transaxle behind it.
The clamshell like they had in the 60s,
as I said this is about 95 percent accurate
to the original car.
So this is the car that won Le Mans
from 66 to 69.
Now we moved to 2016 2017
and the new Ford GT
that won Le Mans,
50 years later
in 2016.
And they created a street car,
the same time they created a race car.
These cars were basically designed and built simultaneously,
so that street version
mimics the race car.
Obviously there's things in a race car you can't put on a street car ...
but ultimately this is the same as a race car.
It's an amazing feat of engineering.
It's another piece of rolling art.
So, the interior of this car ...
was also custom ordered,
it's called launch control
and it's the orange that matches the space suits
from the astronauts
when they were going to one of the space shuttle runs.
Carbon fiber interior,
paddles,
all the controls are on the steering wheel,
and you can drive it.
It's another great piece.
This is a 2009 GT 500 KR edition.
Basically a remake of the 1968 KR
that Shelby came out with.
One of only 22 in Canada.
Neat car lots of power,
very tight,
supercharged,
cold air intake,
carbon fiber piece here,
these Shelby caps were stocked with the car,
over the coolant reservoirs,
handles very well
and it's good daily driver.
This is a very unique piece
this is an original Shelby Cobra,
all aluminium,
an original 427 side oiler motor
and NASCAR
big spine four-speed top loader.
what's very unique about that is
that both of those pieces were built by Bill parson from Southern Automotive.
And he actually built transmissions and engines for Shelby
in the 60s.
It's number two of only twelve American-made cars
another unique piece about this car,
it has aluminium inner wheel fenders
it's the only one in the world that I know of that has that
and it was actually done by a gentleman
who apprenticed in England,
making the aluminum bodies for ace, for Shelby.
The engine on this car is spectacular,
all original,
427 side oiler
The car has only got about 200 miles on the car
I'm the only person to ever drive this car
I found it in a warehouse in San Jose California
had been purchased by the gentleman in 1997
second year after Shelby started again
and it sat in his warehouse
until I bought it in 2010.
Original bias-ply tires,
and errr ...
very loud,
very hot,
and the car iss all made by hand.
This is a hand rolled, aluminum, Shelby Cobra.
This is a 2001 superformance 427 s/c Shelby Cobra.
These folks have the license to build the cars for Shelby.
I got this car in 2001,
this was the third car into Canada.
The car that actually has been signed by Carroll Shelby,
on the glovebox.
It has little wood racing brakes,
Bilstein racing shocks,
it's the original layout of the 1965 car,
has original Smith and Lucas gauges
and original wood steering wheel.
Putting up well over 550 horse,
four-barrel carburetor,
double pumper,
and this card is very light, goes very very fast.
Beautiful car to drive on a nice day,
and when you really want to get on it
you can get on it
and she goes.
Again, another piece of nostalgia,
Great partnership with Ford and Shelby
back in the 60s,
fantastic car!
The last car in my mini Ford Museum
is the 2012 boss 302 Laguna Seca model.
This is one of only 30 in Canada
2012 was the only year that this car was available in Canada
and the only year that they had the two-tone paint
where the spoiler and the roof
and side stripes and wheels all matched.
And they only built this car for two years 2012 and 2013.
This car has the full Recaro racing seats,
as well as five-point harnesses,
for both the driver and passenger.
Has no rear seat,
and a fully integrated roll cage into the car.
This car is also meant for the track it
Is a normally aspirated car,
with approximately 444 horsepower.
Great cars!
A lot of fun.
You know it's just, it's a great hobby.
I do a lot of charity work with the cars.
A lot of rides,
and I like opening it up to you know
a lot of people to see it, specially kids.
I even let kids sit in the cars
sometimes their parents,
but you know it's great to get the enthusiasm from the kids
and hopefully they are future Ford customers
when they get old enough.

Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado: Battle for Pickup Truck Supremacy | Edmunds Video - Duration: 18:24.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NARRATOR: This is Edmunds exclusive three-way comparison
of America's most popular pickups.
We'll drive them on the road, take them to our track,
tow an airstream trailer, and even put a quad in the bed.
After all that, we'll tell you which one is the best.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: This is the all new Ram 1500 pickup.
We've been big fans of the Ram for a long time
because last time around, they added coil spring
rear suspension, which made the ride just so supple,
and it made really good towing stability.
This particular example is a Laramie.
It's a nicely equipped truck, it's not too expensive,
and from here, you can add all sorts of interesting options.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: And this is the all new Chevy Silverado.
It's redesigned from the ground up with different body
and frame materials.
It's longer, taller, and wider than the previous model.
And what we've got here is the LTZ trim level.
Now, this one's got the 5.3 liter V8,
but it's also mated with the new 8-speed automatic.
We picked it because we like it right in the middle of Chevy's
line.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: The Ford F-150 is one of the top selling
vehicles in America.
It's well-known for its lightweight aluminum
construction and a wide variety of trim and engine options.
For our test, we have the mid-level lariat
with a 3.5 liter V6 EcoBoost.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: We're going to put these trucks
through their paces to see which one
is the best one you can buy.
Let's get to it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Getting into the F-150
is more like walking into an apartment
than it is getting into a truck.
For me, the truck is actually almost too big.
I feel like I'm floating around in here,
and I can't reach all of the soft spots.
But I can reach all of the controls
very easily with the exception of the trailer brake
adjustment, which makes Dan really angry.
The interior looks really nice from a distance,
but as you get closer, the materials
aren't as nice as they look.
They're plasticky and hard.
Two things I really like about this truck
that I think are very unique are the way that the doors or cut.
It gives a lot of visibility and it also looks interesting.
I also like where the door handles are placed.
They're tucked away in here, and you hit them from the top
rather than pulling them from the side.
It's pretty cool and they're really easy to use.
Overall, I think that the interior
is nice, but not exceptional.
It's really something that's best viewed from far away.
I bet it looks great in photos.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: So this is the inside
of the all-new Silverado.
There are some small changes, some things that are nicer.
For instance, this touch screen is new.
It's got new graphics that looks pretty good.
And also this giant center console is new.
And one of the things I like about this is it
feels very at home for a truck.
It's simple and everything is at an arm's reach.
One of the things I'm not a huge fan of
is how far out this dash feels like it sticks.
Feels like it intrudes in the cabin a little bit,
and also intrudes on this center console space.
And also this little bin here, there's
not much to organize it.
Your things are just going to slide around.
For instance, if your phone is mounted up here--
you hit a curb, it's just going to fall over.
But basically, this is the Silverado's new interior
and I'm a fan, but it doesn't wow me
as much as some of the other competitors do.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: This new Ram is really impressive,
and you see it the moment you get inside.
One of the things I really like about this,
and I'm surprised to hear myself say it,
is this center console is amazing.
All the actions here--
I mean, this is big.
You could put a couple of purses and a laptop in here
at the same time.
You can put your drinks here.
Look at this, my phone's plugged in,
but it snaps in there with the cord attached.
The other thing I like is the Uconnect system.
Now, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto--
the 8.4 inch Uconnect and this one both have it.
It's all really easy to use.
There's swiping, and pinch zoom, and all of that stuff.
Another unique feature is the sunroof.
I'm not a huge fan though, because it's $1,300.
It's quiet when it's open, but it does let in a lot of heat.
Overall, the Ram 1500's interior is on another level.
The other two trucks feel like they're catering
to their existing buyers.
This one looks like it's trying to win over new converts,
and I think it will.
All of these trucks are crew cabs.
Ram used to be third place out of these three.
But this year they've added four inches
to the wheelbase, four inches to the length of the cabin--
they put all of it back here.
But what's really good about the Ram is the seat back
angle is much more pleasing, and they do this.
Ah-- the others can't match this right now.
But also, if that wasn't enough, we've
got a center console-- a pretty big one.
The whole center of the seat folds down,
and there's a couple of cup holders here.
The back seat area of the Ram has the other ones covered.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: One of the main reasons people
buy full-sized trucks is so they can carry around their toys.
We've got this 750 pound Honda Rubicon.
I'm going to load it into all three trucks
and see how it goes.
All right, so let's open up the Chevy power up,
power down tailgate.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Woo, fancy.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Well done, Trav.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Thank you.
So are you putting all the ratchets in the front, Dan?
DAN EDMUNDS: I'm going to put one on each side in the front.
And I'm going to go for the lowest hook
down here just because that seems to be
when I get the best angle.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: OK.
A lot of guys, if they get this further forward,
they're going to bend it up halfway and strap it down,
or a lot of people will just roll with it like this.
DAN EDMUNDS: You could buy a longer truck.
[LAUGHING]
This crew cab-- if you get the quad cab,
you're going to get a longer bed.
ELANA SCHERR: I never realized that that
was what quad cab meant.
You can put a quad in it.
DAN EDMUNDS: Well, I guess that's it.
Touche.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: All right.
Well, let's take it out of the bed
here and put it in the other trucks.
DAN EDMUNDS: Going to need this.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Thank you.
Safety first.
DAN EDMUNDS: All right.
ELANA SCHERR: Well done.
All right, Dan, let's get the quad in the back of this one.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yep.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: So it's damped, but it's not a power tail gate.
DAN EDMUNDS: Not power, this is just dampened.
ELANA SCHERR: Also (GRUNTING) no step on this.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: All right, there we go.
All clear.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Woo!
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That was a little fast, man.
ELANA SCHERR: You were right earlier, Dan.
You said this bed was a lot shorter,
and it really is-- like, you have almost the entire tire
out.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: These tires are completely on the tailgate.
Which one has a better system in the back, you think?
DAN EDMUNDS: The Chevy's lower tie downs,
I like that a little better.
But it's also got a slightly longer bed.
Although neither one of them was long enough for this ramp
to fit in with the tailgate closed
without putting it in sideways.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Let's take it out of the Ford
and put it in the Ram.
DAN EDMUNDS: There you go.
ELANA SCHERR: Oh, beautiful.
DAN EDMUNDS: Like butter.
ELANA SCHERR: Show off for me, Dan.
(SURPRISED) What?
Magic.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, right?
If I had my hands full from Home Depot,
I wouldn't have to put anything down.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah, but I still don't have a step.
At least I have a little handhold on this one.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: We're good.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Nice!
DAN EDMUNDS: All right, that was a little better.
You only got a little bit of air.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: The tie downs-- how well would you compare them
to Ford?
DAN EDMUNDS: Well, the thing about the tie downs
is they're nice and low, so I like that.
And they're really big.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Yeah.
Those are much larger than--
DAN EDMUNDS: Even the Chevy's
TRAVIS LANGNESS: --Ford ones, especially in the rear.
And this is sitting almost completely on the tailgate,
right?
ELANA SCHERR: I think it's right in between.
I think the Chevy had the most room,
and the Ford was the shortest.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Well, let's take the quad out of the back
here and move on to the next test.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Expert level unlocked.
[LAUGHING]
So we successfully loaded the quad in all three trucks.
Any of them would work.
Do you guys feel like there was one that was a clear winner?
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Yeah.
I know it's the truck I brought, but I like the Chevy.
The multiple tie downs, and the fact
that you had that side-step on the tailgate to get in and out.
I felt like that made it the easiest.
ELANA SCHERR: I definitely liked the step.
What about you, Dan?
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, I agree.
But I do like the Ram's hooks because they're really low
and they're really big.
I was able to put two straps on them with ease.
So, not bad, but yeah, the Chevy's a little better.
ELANA SCHERR: Sounds like the Chevy wins this one.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
To do a full-on tow test on any one of these trucks
would take the whole episode.
But we wanted to illustrate some of the tow tech
and how easy it is to use.
To do that, we've got this Airstream 25FB--
it's the Flying Cloud.
And it's about 25 feet long, about 6,500 pounds,
and it'll be great to showcase what these trucks can do.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[BEEPING]
DAN EDMUNDS: I wonder where Travis and Elana are?
They're leaving me to do all the hard work.
Want a soda back there?
ELANA SCHERR: (GROGGILY) Wha?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: Good to go.
The Ford works pretty well.
The problem I found there is they've
got this Pro Trailer Backup Assist
system that they talk about, which sounds great,
but it's theoretical because I can't use it on this trailer.
This sticker is supposed to go somewhere in this area.
And you can see the propane tanks are in the way,
so I can't install this on the trailer, which
means I can't use Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
The Silverado, it's got a lot of power,
but the camera wasn't my favorite.
To me, the Ram is golden because it's
got a much better camera that's easier to use.
Time to roll.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We then hit the highway and headed for the nearest hill.
All three were able to pull it up the grade easily,
but the F-150 felt more willing, while the Ram
was the most stable in corners and cross winds.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Well, the F-150, or the F-series trucks,
are the best selling trucks, right.
We talked about that.
And I can see why people like them.
It's a really predictable truck, it does everything
that you need it to do, it's quite quick.
They have a ton of different options
for engines and interiors, so you can find one that you like.
The engine in this truck it is never working hard,
which is not something I normally say about turbo V6s.
Even if they have a lot of power,
you're way on the throttle to make that happen.
That is not how I feel here.
I feel like you can use just a very small throttle application
and be right up to cruising speed.
There's a little bit of delay-- a little lag, mostly
if you surprise it, and that might be in the transmission.
DAN EDMUNDS: Now, that 10-speed here is really clever.
I mean, you don't know that it has 10 gears to choose from,
because it's really nice at picking the right gear
at the right time.
So you don't feel like it's shifting all over the place.
So this is a really nicely sorted 10-speed.
ELANA SCHERR: This is an extremely comfortable truck.
You get a little bit of road feel, but not a lot.
In fact, I think Chevrolet was a little more road feel,
and definitely more road noise.
One of the things that really stood out to me in this truck
is how quiet it is in the cab.
I think it's a good looking truck,
and they also did a pretty nice redesign on the nose.
And so, it's very striking.
The lights in the grill are integrated really beautifully,
and there's a lot of small details
that you'll appreciate if you spend a lot of time looking
at the truck.
DAN EDMUNDS: They've got these huge mirrors, though.
They're a little too huge.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah, the mirrors are ugly,
and I already hit a bush with them,
and not even on a small street.
If you put this truck against the Silverado
and asked me which one was more recently redesigned,
I would think this was the newer truck
and that was the older one.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah.
ELANA SCHERR: I am a little bit proud
that the truck that I brought has
the best numbers at the track, and it also
has the highest torque.
So it's a 375 horse, but it is-- you ready for this?
470 torque.
That has all the torques, and I win.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: [LAUGHING] It's all the torques.
DAN EDMUNDS: Wow, you do win.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That has a lot to do with the fact
that this one is turbocharged while the other trucks are
naturally aspirated.
And one of the other things that's
interesting about the track performance in these trucks
is all of them stopped from 60 to zero in our panic braking
test within feet of each other.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, that's pretty good.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That's pretty remarkable.
DAN EDMUNDS: Those numbers were about five or six feet better
than they were the last time these trucks were new.
So there's been improvement over time.
And that's good to see because trucks have always had
the longest stopping distances.
And they still do, but now, the gap isn't so big.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah.
I feel like all the manufacturers are really
recognizing that people use trucks
for a lot of different reasons.
I mean, towing toys, towing horses,
but also just as daily drivers.
And they're really working on making
them safer, and more comfortable, and more
pleasurable to drive.
So that's nice.
It's good to know that the audience is being heard.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I know this sounds weird,
but the Ford is the most fun to drive for me.
The handling and the steering, for me, are the best.
But those may not be things that people that want a track
are concerned with.
DAN EDMUNDS: I like the Ford's powertrain--
it's really powerful.
And the 10-speed automatic is just
so nicely calibrated when you're towing, when you're not towing.
I really like that.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Travis, you've spent the most time
of any of us in this truck.
But to me, just getting in it, it doesn't look new.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That's the impression
I not only got when I first saw the truck, but after 1,400
miles in the truck from Wyoming to Los Angeles.
It doesn't feel completely redesigned.
And also, under the hood it feels the same.
So the 5.3 liter V8 gets a new fuel management system.
And now, it's paired to the 8-speed automatic instead
of the 6-speed, which has a little bit faster shifts
and it's a little quieter on the highway.
I like that it doesn't rev as high.
ELANA SCHERR: Dan is going to hate me for this because there
is no scientific way to measure it,
but Travis how do you feel the truck
jealousy is on this truck?
And you know what I'm talking about.
It's like, who's looking at it?
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I do.
I do.
This one I feel like is particularly
polarizing-- just the new Chevy look in general.
It's got a lot of chrome on the front end.
Some people love it, some people hate it.
From the back on the sides, some people
can't really tell the difference.
And then, of course, the power tailgate in the back.
You load all your stuff and you press the button,
and they've got to push it up.
There's a little bit of truck jealousy
there, just a small amount.
ELANA SCHERR: You nailed it when you said
the front end is polarizing.
I mean, it's got these weird origami folds,
and like slots and tabs, which I guess are for aero,
but they are unusual looking.
DAN EDMUNDS: I mean, I like the new Silverado,
but it doesn't feel like a brand new Silverado.
It feels very evolutionary, not revolutionary.
ELANA SCHERR: I'd be happy to drive it
but I don't want to look at it.
[LAUGHING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
One of the things that I noticed about the Ram when I got in it
was that the steering felt a little heavier,
but in a good way.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, it has really good feedback.
You really know which way the tires are pointed at all times.
You get a really good sense of straight
ahead when you're driving straight.
You don't have to make a lot of corrections,
you don't have to think about it.
It goes where you want to go.
And in corners it feels nice, when driving straight it
feels nice.
This is the best steering of the bunch by far.
Whatever they've done, it works, and I like it.
The ride comfort is nicely damped.
It's quiet, there isn't a lot of road noise.
The engine makes a noise you like
to hear when you lay into it.
But when you just cruise, it just
fades into the background-- there's not
a lot of wind noise.
This thing is really nice riding.
I mean, what you see is what you get.
This truck has coil spring suspension
which is really good.
There's less friction when it hits a bump.
The other thing I really like, the fenders
are cut down real tight to the headlights,
and it's really easy to see the corners of the truck.
It feels like I could see it right
in front of it, which is something I
can't say for the other trucks.
ELANA SCHERR: Is this the biggest
engine you can get in a Ram?
DAN EDMUNDS: It is.
The 507 HEMI is the top of the range.
There's two versions of it, though.
They both make it 395 horsepower,
which is more than the other to trucks,
and 410 pound feet of torque.
The 507 HEMI that we have here does not have the new eTorque
system-- that's coming soon.
And that system is a mild hybrid system that basically
improves fuel economy.
This one is good for 17 MPG combined,
but the eTorque version will be good for 19 MPG combined,
which is the same as the 3.5 EcoBoost.
This is the 8-speed that Ram introduced in 2014
in the last generation truck about halfway through.
And we really liked it then when it first came out.
We had a long-term EcoDiesel with that transmission,
and it was perfect.
ELANA SCHERR: I can easily imagine the Ram engineers
sitting together in a room and really saying
what do truck buyers want, what do they need,
and how do we give it to them, because that's
what this truck feels like.
DAN EDMUNDS: To me, the Ram is the best truck to drive.
I really like the steering, the 8-speed transmission
does everything I need it to do.
There's plenty of power, and the link coil suspension not only
rides nice, it's also really stable when you're towing.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: It's definitely a classy look that I enjoy,
not only parked in my driveway, but driving it on the highway.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: All three of these are solid trucks,
and fans of each brand won't have any trouble
if they buy a new one.
But we've got to pick a winner.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: In third place, we had the Chevy Silverado.
It's completely redesigned and more capable than ever.
But in our tests, it doesn't have
quite what it takes to edge out the Ford and the Ram.
ELANA SCHERR: We really liked all three trucks.
But from the very beginning one stood out,
and it wasn't the Ford.
The F-150 might be the number one selling truck in America,
but it turned out number two in our test.
DAN EDMUNDS: That leaves the Ram 1500 as the winner of our test.
It's Edmunds top-rated truck.
The others may satisfy brand loyalists,
but this one could win some converts.
Well, that was fun.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I had a great time.
We got to do it again, but first, dinner.
GROUP: Tacos.
