[@CynicalDad81]

These MPG vids are very useful for us the consumer. Keep em comin guys.

[@Thatsotaguy]

Thank you for the 60FPS video!!! :D

[@acomitapita]

Love these mashups between full and midsize trucks. Much of my debate in shopping has been trying to figure out my needs/wants between the two. Keep these kinds of videos coming!

[@Mayhammaymarchon]

You guys are great! Love the show been with y'all for a couple years now. You and Nathan bring a certain element to reviews and challenges and now with your videos at 60fps it's really crystal clear

[@alangonzalez9821]

His "okay, that's it?" face in the 0-60 inside the Canyon was priceless.

[@Thomas-qk7wf]

That was great. I think that was a very good matchup. Smaller diesel pulling the same load as a full size V8 gas. Excellent. Looking forward to the Ram Ecodiesel video as well. Also, if possible, it would be great to see you guys make a video showing a complete 100,000 mile cost breakdown between something like the Ram 1500 V6, Hemi and Ecodiesel. Or a Ford or GM. Recently I put pen to paper (between the Ram 1500 ED and the Ford F150 2.7 EB. As well as the cost difference between the Ram ED and the Pentastar V6) and was astonished with the results when comparing cost of purchase, cost of ownership/maintenance and MPG over 100k. Obviously everyone's needs/desires are different, but the results are pretty impressive. Keep up the great work guys. Love your videos.

[@sultanbaqa8849]

I'm from Saudi Arabia and I'm a big fan of yours channel Keep going my friend ✌️

[@tsnorquist]

Unreal that a "mid-size" pickup is being sold for $44k.

[@1guyin10]

+tsnorquist Also unreal that half ton pickups are whistling right on past $60K. The average transaction price of the F150 is nearing $45K.

[@AkioWasRight]

+tsnorquist There is no problem with that. If you don't want to pay that much, you can still buy the XL for $26,500~. Also, they still pack on incentives like crazy.

[@Mohammadkwt]

+Nodak81 order your custom made f-150 from the factory an XLT with FX4 package is the best for work , value & off-road

[@1guyin10]

***** In the case of the Canyon/Colorado there are some significant production constraints and the dealers have a set limit of trucks they can order. They are not going to give up the truck that makes $1,500 profit to order one that they might make $500 on.

[@jorgealvarez3771]

9p.

[@henrique5978]

Hello, Roman! Greetings from Brazil! This is the best video you have ever produced, including The TFL Car Channel. The format, the dynamic, the non linear pace; in fact, very interesting and exciting!

[@BrandonHughes]

Love this mashup with the real world towing loop review, and the 60 FPS looks awesome. Thanks TFL!

[@jmayak01]

Your videos are getting better all the time. I like the template/order you do things during your videos. I really like the "buttery" smoothness of the 60 fps. Keep up the good work. How about a video with a V6 Canyon towing. I'd like to see the difference between the two in "real world testing".

[@NordicNevs]

Well done guys. This was one of the best reviews. The quality of the video is outstanding. Quick request. Can you guys do a shot from your perspective while driving. See what the over the hood looks like for visibility. Thanks guys and as always, looking forward to your next video.

[@TheAhemahemahem]

Yes yes and yes I'm LOVING the 4K and higher frame rates it shows the vehicles off perfect

[@Ohsee83]

The new camera is soooooooo much better. It's like real life from a phone!

[@oliverfriis9156]

The 60fps looks awesome! Defiantly an upgrade.

[@DEVUNK88]

your storyboard is improving, I like the 0-60 segments and they way you snuck them in and the lead ins... and the overall theme, off mpg of the best selling F-150 v8 vs a brand new tech 4 cyl duramax.

[@freezor80]

You guys make me want to come to Colorado and do some reviews with you. They are so much fun. I love the quirkiness of the videos.

[@Argedis]

The 1080p 60 Frame videos are awesome very smooth and sharp, keep it up

[@rortiz77]

Love how sharp the video quality is!!!

[@dan4932001]

crystal clear camera!! mega resolution!!

[@g5poirot647]

Love the new video quality. Nathan, lerxst rocks!

[@mrcnorth7149]

Roman, yes please keep the higher quality video, it makes a noticeable difference.

[@chrisransdell8110]

Pretty amazing that such weights are manageable by a midsize pickup, albeit not very confidently. My take away from this video is that for the kinds of things a lot of people tow (cargo or yard trailers, non yacht type boats), the Diesel Canyon/Colorado gets the job done with good economy and for the 80% of the time you aren't towing it's WAY better economy and good performance. If you spend a genuinely huge amount of time towing or tow something genuinely huge, neither a mid-size nor a half ton is probably the best choice for the job.

[@pdid44569]

I've seen way more of the 5.0 F-150s for sale online, which shows how much more satisfying they are to drive even if they aren't the most powerful.

[@Jackkiller888]

The 60 fps is amazing. Great job. I love it

[@1mlb704]

The F-150 is light because it has an aluminum body, versus the traditional steel body of the Canyon

[@thatsfunnystuff100]

Thank you. At least some smart people watch the videos lol

[@USA____]

Ford is better

[@nathanmcdonald610]

+1mlb704 The F-150 is still heavier than the Canyon though. Just not by quiet as much.

[@1mlb704]

+Nathan McDonald yeah it's still heavier it's a full size truck versus a mid size truck, but there's only a 320 pound difference which, considering the size difference, isn't very much. At 9:27 the presenters were shocked about how closely they weighed despite the Canyon being smaller. This comment was aimed towards their confusion. The aluminum makes a huge difference in weight, hence why many sports cars use aluminum parts as opposed to steel

[@kahless0173]

+1mlb704 thank you captain obvious.

[@dtgoodwin]

I'd like an impression of the towing experience. When you did the Tacoma, I didn't hear any comments, but that engine was turning 5K most during most of your towing shots. Man, that gets tiring after a while. I think that's a big advantage diesels have beyond their economy and grunt, they tow at much lower RPM. I'm not as concerned at the total level of sound pressure as I am about how each truck feels audibly when towing. I hated the vehicle, but loved that my 2000 Jetta TDI never needed to be shifted out of 5th at highway speed. You just gave it more throttle and it responded. It was a very pleasant from that perspective.

[@JT1000rr]

60p works well for me, looks good on my Mac running OS X. Keep up the good job!

[@cowlumbus]

frames is what you mean, no? FPS?

[@williamhugelmeyer2702]

That was a good comparison and a great run down of tests. It works because it's an often question, "which one fits my needs?" Now you have to compare the ram diesel to the Colorado diesel.

[@TheWeakLink101]

Wow Roman looked so unimpressed with the 0-60 time in the canyon! Lol great video guys 😊

[@jezraelflecha1633]

the video quality is BEAUTIFUL. thank you so much.

[@The199911]

The new video quality is excellent!

[@jaeoaktrees1649]

I love GM & Ford. great looking trucks!

[@slvrjp08]

Love the new camera resolution

[@Avisqq]

love the 60fps. it should be standard now a days. The difference is incredible.

[@LB-ez1vn]

Thanks for the 5.0!

[@s.centralkeystone558]

Video quality is fantastic! Great job as usual on the review!!

[@ploomipuu]

It's so different seeing that diesel is more expensive than petrol, because where i live, Estonia, the diesel is up to 0.20€ cheaper than petrol. Good video as always!

[@cmusic52]

Wow, video looks great, my computer didn't get along with 60p the best but the picture quality and clarity was amazing, would appreciate a 30p version if it's not too much trouble

[@andrewbilodeau499]

Great video and thanks for the video quality!

[@Gmanndogdeguy]

The filming does look better Roman. Keep up the good work!

[@XxViciousxX]

Like the 60 FPS looks so smooth.

[@cal920c]

Loved this review! Ive actually been trying to find comparisons between the Canyon Diesel and 5.0 Coyote Pickup! (I own the lattar, but I'm looking for a new vehicle for my grandpa)

[@DeltaSierra426]

1080P60 is REALLY nice! Thanks for keeping up with tech and thus being audience-focused. I'm not concerned about 4K until 4K @ 60 Hz is practical (need HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2 -- most people aren't there yet). I actually PC game at 1080P144 on this sweet Asus 144 Hz monitor... Anyways, great episode!

[@andybernal4912]

I'd like to see the new 2016 Tacoma vs the Colorado and Canyon

[@Kiddthattrolls]

Hell yeah this quality is awesome !

[@collingaumont4959]

TFL atv would be kinda cool

[@freddyphredphred]

That CANYON looks SICK!!!!

[@duken4evr]

Nice showing for the minimax diesel. Handy truck, easier to drive daily and yet it can tow a decent load. Sounds perfect for my needs, which would be only occasionally towing a 5,000 pound RV travel trailer. Don't forget it gets substantially better MPG when not towing than the bigger truck does too. Nice job GM. Come on Ford, bring your cool diesel Ranger sold everywhere else in the world to the US.

[@chriszx2]

60p makes you feel like your there! I love it!

[@RyanFiore211]

finally a coyote! thanks tfl!

[@ChrisRobertson1212]

Awesome video guys. Really informative and the video quality is fantastic!

[@duggydo]

The 60fps is very nice!

[@pedintx]

Another great review. You guys are the best. I am intrigue by that 2.8 Diesel.

[@cassian72]

The 60fps is awesome

[@riogue]

Loving the clear picture!

[@CentralKentuckyWeather]

The engine in the Canyon is basically the same engine that was in the 2005 U.S. version of the Jeep Liberty CRD. I owned two of those. One was stock, the second one I got tuned by Green Diesel Engineering. I averaged 26 MPGs combined cycle, and I averaged 14-16 MPGs while towing several thousand pounds. It wasn't lightning fast, but it had lots of torque for work. Unfortunately it proved to be expensive to work on. A thermostat was $110 for that thing!

[@Metalbass1979]

I'm so glad to see the 5.0 review! This engine is what will eventually replace my 5.4 when it is time. If they do a 10 speed, turbo 5.0, I'll whip my wallet out so fast that a dealer's head will spin. I just can't do a V6. The Ecoboost engines are impressive, but the tried and true V8 is what gets my blood pumping.

[@onkyomitsu4765]

First video i've seen in 1080p60, wow. so different than normal 30fps

[@rodgermills1496]

I would like to see a cost analysis for the actual fuel consumption. Fuel MPG is important but also how much the fuel costs can be just has relevant. If one vehicle gets better mileage but the fuel it uses is more expensive your cost may be the same. In a lot of states there is a much wider spread between diesel and gas.

[@robgrune3284]

The Canyon/Colorado is very impressive. 12mpg towing 5600# at highway speeds is excellent [5600# is a loaded 23ft Airstream]. 1440# payload is very capable. strong frame and suspension, very little squat. quiet and smooth. exhaust braking ! and good price point for the Colorado fitted with essentials [no fluff] at about $36k. GM has a winner here.

[@mattmcc8583]

Why didn't you compare the F150 2.7 to the Canyon 2.8? That seems like a closer match than a 5.0.

[@entreri76x]

SilverRaven1959 you must have failed math class ?

[@gwot]

I'm assuming you're saying this because the engine displacement is the closest, but in fact the 5.0 is closer to the 2.8 because the 2.8 is a diesel. When strictly talking about towing and MPG, like in this video, the 2.7 is a complete joke in its own right, let alone putting it up against a diesel 2.8. And because the 5.0 is the tried and true favorite from all the F150 engines, so they're putting the 2.8 up against that.

[@jeremykirk9805]

Have you ever rode in a 2.7 its a very quick engine and drags a trailer it held the ike gauntlet record for 1/2 ton pickup.

[@gwot]

@light house never said ford is good, and what you're saying is irrelevant to the topic... you're just bashing Ford for no reason.

[@gwot]

@light house ok, let me be more clear... what I meant was the 5.0 is the "fan favorite", "tried and true" being Ford's best, not implying it's good or better than other manufactures, but Ford's best engine. That's why they're pitting the 5.0 against the canyon 2.8. Again, you're just looking for a irrelevant reason to bash on Ford.

[@BeachFlyr]

That's the exact choice I'm considering! Chevy Colorado Diesel or F-150 V8 for pulling my travel trailer. Thank you, thank you!

[@cartercarson7302]

love the 0-60 test's keep them up

[@kendepew252]

I love the video resolution it's awesome guy's keep up the good work!

[@CIEGOS1]

60 FPS looks great!

[@andrewb71]

Video quality is great!

[@johng4527]

I Also found it interesting (but not surprising to me) that the gas V8 only need one gear change to hit 60mph. But the small diesel needed 3 gear changes.

[@yurs78]

sooooo excited, thank you for all the great work!

[@richardmiller1256]

I love that the little Duramax comes with the exhaust brake. Used to drive a lot of Isuzu tilt cabs for work and coming off of the highway with a big load is not fun if the exhaust brake is off. You put 200k/mi on a work truck and think it's going to stop the same with 1000 gal of liquid in the bed, you might learn the hard way. Fleet maintained does not mean shit at that point. Exhaust brakes are important

[@Bigben-pz8bx]

Love the new high def. looks great

[@gmdmedic]

HEY! 60FPS. Awsome! Great update!

[@sarrum7696]

ya know, it's funny, I was just thinking to myself, wow, the video looks really nice, and then you mentioned the new shooting style. lol - So yeah, I noticed without being told. :)

[@80KG_Costco_Chicken]

My 2014 3.5TT F150 always does around 13MPG when towing around 6000 bl trailer. And it does 0-60 under 7 second in Colorado.

[@ponygt6629]

Ford is coming back with a 3.0 v6 diesel by 2018, and probably a new Ranger as well with the 3.2 TDCi, so till then let the 2.7l ecoboost be best bet

[@bmarcy86]

6L50 Hydra-Matic maximum engine torque: 332 lb-ft. 2.8L Duramax Peak Torque: 369lb-ft. Have fun with those blown transmissions. I really wanted to buy one of these duramax trucks too.

[@MrGdbsti05]

I like the match up great job. I personally like the Ford but that that canyon is great on the mpg

[@tronbiggums4694]

wow, these guys are fucking geniuses. They figured out that a 4 cyl diesel gets better mpg in a 8 cyl gasser. Keep the wisdom coming!

[@GreekFenah]

60FPS looks good. Keep doing it.

[@whiterastaproductions1846]

like di new video format always enjoy tfl videos reveiws yhal r funny honest and i can stand it unlike sum videos dat r just to boreing to watch yhal r alot a fun

[@dre04mach]

I damn near had beer come out my nose when you said the canyon is cheaper - knowing you said it's 44k earlier. I got an F350 crewcab dually diesel 4x2 for 41k... that would probably pull both of those trucks combined easily. The prices of the smaller trucks is absolutely insane. Makes the 9 grand diesel option a lot easier to take in...

[@UltraSS-nj8kd]

tfl atv yeahhh lol yeah the new videos look sharp great job guys

[@tommyruane878]

hyped for the range rover vid!!

[@cbskwkdnslwhanznamdm2849]

3.55 means ready to tow but tundra has 4.30...bow that’s badass

[@Sig721Tau]

Finally, a F150 with a 5.0L V8 video review. lol

[@joemomma7161]

Okie Rider it's hard to find!!! I'm in the market for a pickup and the f150 5.0 v8 is at the top of the list since i own a 2012 mustang gt and have zero issues with the engine. But all I find is the v6 twin turbo f150! Driving me crazy!! Last night, salesperson wanted me to drive the v6. I said no. He kept insisting. Lol. I'm not touching it!

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

We order our trucks. 8 weeks later you get the truck they way you want it.

[@rudydesjardins6633]

Good job for comparing the Canyon to the F150. Seriously, the Canyon/Colorado don't compete with the Frontier/Tacoma. They are after the 1/2 tons buyers that uses their trucks for grocery shopping. I think the date are pretty accurate on this : the GM twins are stealing sales from Ford and Ram. I don't think they are overpriced neither. Seriously guys, have you shop for a mid-size ute lately ? Those CRV-Escape-RAV4 will get you easily into the 35 000 $ territory (canadian dollar) and they don't have the capability or the 4wd features of a mid size trucks. My 2 cents :D

[@antiatrophy72890]

The fast lane ATV would be awesome!

[@coltonalann]

Anybody else hear him say "5,600 and 240lbs."

[@dylanbuk7055]

finally a 5.0

[@geejay5653]

Love the videos...very unique and real.

[@d.r.1375]

This video looks much sharper.

[@lirryeti]

Quality is perfect!

[@dustincwallace]

Great mashup guys. As for the GMC being better on fuel cost don't forget the $$$ it cost to maintain that truck. DEF $20 a jug every few thousand Miles and oil changes with fuel filters are very costly $$$ The cost of owner ship on the F150 will be cheaper and make up the difference in the fuel economy. As for the size, I ask why build a mid size truck? The weight seams very close but the truck is smaller and less capable. Oh well great video guys keep them coming!

[@Bruningable]

Nice quality!

[@kclm7]

I have a 2014 with the 5.0 and 3.73 gears. It tows OK but you have to keep the RPMs up. No doubt the Ecoboost tows better thanks to having most of it's power much lower in the RPM range. If I towed all the time, I would have gotten the EB. However, my truck with the 5.0 actually gets better MPG running solo than everyone I know with the same truck and EB engine.

[@ArcolaBridge]

We all want sprinter 2.1 and 3.0 liter ike gauntlet!

[@ckjpony]

I like my 3.5 ecoboost better than the 5.0 I had. The 5.0 seemed to hunt for gears more while towing. Just my personal 2 cents.

[@5FaLlEn5]

Camera is coming across good.

[@Stuka87]

YES, keep doing video in 60P!!!

[@Stuka87]

+Stuka87 BTW: The current 5.0 is not the Windsor 302. Entirely different engine. Its a great engine, but not comparable to the Windsor.

[@BamaShinesDistillery]

+Stuka87 Never been a huge fan of windsor except for the 302. Bring us back the 351C!

[@mikeh0222]

The new Colorado and Canyon are giving 1/2 tons a run for their money as far as the average user is concerned. It's going to be a tough choice when I go to make my next purchase.
