At least we didnt finish last...

What a pathetic showing

 

Losing to an ancient Nissan kinda sucks.

 

who cares about drag races anyway. Good for a laugh but does not mean anything.

 

All V6?

 

The Titan, SD, and Ram are not.

 

right, if I wanted fast I would have bought a sports car.

 

Surprised those POS turbo Fords made it to the end of the strip.

I'm impressed with how fast the huge Super Duty was.

I would have thought one of the big gasoline V8s would have bested a stock diesel but it was surprisingly close to the Raptor.

And while a truck being "fast" doesn't matter that much, having a truck that is "responsive" does.

If a truck is a dog when it's empty, it will be a worse dog when towing a trailer or hauling a load.

 

I just wonder how a 2nd gen would have faired in this?

 

It would have been right with the Nissan or beat it slightly (2nd gen has less power than Nissan but is quite a bit lighter weight)

 

I told ya'll that Fjord has some balls!!!

 

Our trucks are tuned to not respond quickly... If your goal is fuel efficiency then you response would suck. They didn't mention if they pressed the towing button for quicker response. They should have gotten a manual or at least reved the engine w/ brakes to build the rpm, ideal for this engine. Tires come into play big time for traction... more weight over the rear would be ideal.

 

3rd gen is actually faster in 0-60 and 1/4 mile than 2nd gen.
Another comparison to full size trucks, love it.

 

My guess is that driver hit the ECT button and turned off trac. He gave it all she had but that slush box 6 speed and no low end torque v6 just couldn't keep up with the big dogs.

 

Good thing 2nd gen wasnt in there it would have came behind the 3rd actually.
I am not actually worried about a second in a race, I use my truck for what it was designed for.

 

This is Exactly how I use my truck, stop light to stop light.
