Obstacle Course, Hill Climb, and Coal Chute! - Top Truck Challenge 2013

[@JPMuldoe]

That VW is unreal! The suspension articulation was phenomenal!

[@ratattakkustoms]

Thanks!

[@skibekpl]

Matt Huit Matt, You are Good of the Offroad! Your VW is... unbelive vehicle! NASA called to You for to buy a patent of Mars-Vehicle? :)

[@ratattakkustoms]

skibekpl Ha ha! I wish! That would be cool. Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it.

[@-tr0n]

+Matt Huit absolute beast man, both your driving and the machine. how long have you been running this thing? i remember seeing pictures of a caddy body on a slightly more stock truck chassis years ago.

[@ratattakkustoms]

+tigerpr0n Actually, I had less than five hours seat time before the competition.

[@bryarch]

That volkswagen build is INSANE! Best by far in my opinion!

[@ratattakkustoms]

Thanks!

[@rcfrenzy]

Once again having a low center of gravity proves it's importance. Gigantic tires and flex are cool but when your rig is too top heavy those things are useless.

[@canadiancatgreen]

all of these drivers are fantastic drivers

[@jakedeutscher]

I'm in the love with the volkswagen, actual balance and 4 wheel steering! YEAH BUD

[@thepeeve]

Hands down that VW is the best rig I have seen in TTC. Just flat out works and is original from what you see normally. Props!

[@christianfitzgerald1435]

that lady didnt even know how to freakin drive xD

Typical women

[@ratattakkustoms]

Aaron, you did awesome! That's why you won the "Driver Elegance" award!

[@oducks5820]

That volkswagon is the best built, most reasonably thought out truck their is. All the other trucks are top heavy and exsesively lifted to be any good actual off-roading anywhere besides deep mud bogs. A jeep on 40" tires could do this course and faster than most of the trucks out their. I commend you for proving that the biggest rigs aren't always the best.

[@ratattakkustoms]

Thanks a bunch!

[@joshp1461]

Matt Huit my favorite vehicles have always been jeep or Subaru, but you've made me a believer with that Vw. I agree, that is a fantastic rig!

[@ratattakkustoms]

Joshua Pulliam Thanks a lot!

[@groddofwar7779]

It's not like they build the rigs just for this one particular race course, there are several. I'm sure there are others with mixes of bogs and extremely deep ruts that these are great in...This maybe somewhat of a tame course, I will say that video doesn't do the course justice though. It's deceptive when it comes too showing how steep grades are, soil conditions, how deep the holes are and so on...

[@joshp1461]

What are you talking about? Is not that hard to tell that 90% of the vehicles on THAT course couldn't cut it, but that Vw rode right through with little effort. I wasn't debating the integrity of other vehicles in the race, I was just making a simple observation of how well built the Vw is.

[@mealex303]

Man I thought nothing could come close to being as good as formula off-road bit this is awesome!!!!!! Matt's truck is a beauty

[@TheBooboo7112]

gosh.. that lady in the bronco... didnt seem like she's ever driven that bronco offroad...

[@a_jim_so_dashing7664]

you could have stopped at "driven"

[@TheIndoGod]

@@a_jim_so_dashing7664 That Thing Could've Won This Challenge Smh. Should've Let Her Husband Drive It. She Can't Drive & Doesn't Listen

[@a_jim_so_dashing7664]

@@TheIndoGod 100% agreed.

[@ScuffleSage]

These trucks sure can hike. Great, determined drivers. Just have to say the VW power to weight ratio was stellar for this event.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

that volkswagen was insane

[@michaelbates350]

that VW was definitely fun to watch!

[@benigo15]

This could've been a great series, but all the cutting is simply killing it

[@doubletapproductions]

Man these guys must spend some serious ass money on these trucks!

[@47MasoN47]

VW is an absolute BEAST! That little Tacoma is holding its own pretty well too. It's nice to see small trucks hanging in there with the big guys.

[@chrisjohn5875]

Americans always assume bigger is better, but the top heavy vehicles with long wheel bases just don't do well, if you have a shorter wheel base you don't need as much ground clearance, i recon i could out do them all on my 125cc suzuki dr.

[@Justin-ou6gq]

I race you in my Z21 Camero, supercharged, and race slicks

[@Sickofsociety1]

Yeah, not always , but bigger is better is part of what makes America great. And a motorcycle isn't what they are racing...

[@12th.jahlil]

Y do you have to talk about americans

[@Sickofsociety1]

coolice700 Because in AMERICA , we have the freedom of SPEACH! AND we can say what we want when we want to.

lol that lady said before she went under: "OH SHIT!" lol

[@warrend4027]

Thank you MotorTrend for these videos!

[@tlarson91119]

1:05 "Who the hell let her drive?? OH SHIT RUN!!!!"

[@NateSpring]

The guys in the pink camo VW caddy were hilarious! and that things was a beast!!

[@bendewse4944]

Man that Tacoma sounds nasty

[@moaski]

That VW is perfection... power, weight, tire, wheelbase, clearance, you name it!

[@bigtyoutdoors4090]

that vw was the shit. he had everything perfect for all the lines. I think someone watched a few episodes before building his rig

[@ratattakkustoms]

Thanks! I built it specifically for TTC.

[@bigtyoutdoors4090]

That's so awesome wicked ride man. Keep up the good work and keep giving everyone a run for their money

[@globaloff-road3601]

I agree, Stan is the man. He did an awesome job hosting this event! ! !

[@TexasGTO]

The host's watch will tell you everything you need to know about him...

[@Nobel666]

Bro that V-Wagon tho 🤣🤣😂👍👍 he was everyone competition

[@TheDutyPaid]

Why was she braking down a hill? Low range or gear and let the engine do the work.

[@conancoulombe9927]

I am just so happy that they finally have a good race announcer

[@thejakeburch]

no offense but the women had no idea how to drive

[@globaloff-road3601]

Aaron Fava is one of the coolest people I've met. He has a different type of personality than most people you will meet, super cool guy for sure!

[@baxterblackgoon]

Ya I agree with you Syonide fears I was there by the dozer and I was thinking the same thing. All she had to do was let off the damn brakes. And if you look closely she sticks her leg out at 1:25.

[@meeeee9407]

She obviously has very little seat time in extreme terrain, because she said that is the first time I've ever rolled, ever ever ever. She almost rolled, and then did roll in less than five minutes!!!

[@RashMan0]

This is awesome. That VW is a hell of a rig!

[@SyonideFears]

The second guy had no clue how to drive a truck

[@SyonideFears]

***** I still look at this and try to understand why your comment has more likes that my actualy joke -.-

[@niignastii]

"in your first roll" I love how he basically dismissed her "IVE NEVER ROLLED!" and turned into well this is first of many based off of your driving ability.

[@rayfigueroa7828]

damn that chick cant drive

[@dannyroach554]

no doubt

Its good to see ladies also take part in tough events as this one. May be one day i could also ride there. thnaks blessees

[@ilexcorp]

GTA 5 needs trucks like this

[@YankeemanLT]

This was great to watch, many thanks!

[@shigmonty]

It would be great if we could actually see the trucks drive through the course, instead of the damn editor skipping all over the fricken place.

[@johnwright4642]

Dude I love your VW. That thing is a beast. It is my favorite truck in the event. Although all the trucks are amazing vehicles

[@ChargedTTq]

Dude is castrating himself not running a turbo on that Toy.

[@slayo710]

That yellow bronco custom is so sick it's insane. That's such a nice truck

[@gregsmall541]

really who let that woman enter the competition

How does that lady have a license? There was not 1 ounce of common sense in her

[@charybe]

Fascinating! Thanks Motortrend.

[@rkellyonu]

That lady needs to let her husband drive, lord knows she didnt pay for any of that bronco.

[@Crustyto3z]

The guys in blue shirts are working harder then the trucks, good job!!

Best corse Ive seen yet!!!!

[@sliptirka]

Holy stainless steel that watch is ugly.

[@Chance91895]

Lmfao! I had to rewatch the video to find out what you were talking about.

[@KNOCKEMHARD]

From high dollar, well equipped race shops to your neighbors backyard just goes to show that as Americans we will find a way to build anything out of nothing and are more than willing to work 12 hours a night for a chance to race 12 seconds. That is why it's racing and not driving. Way to go guys and girls my hats go off to you. And if anyone "doesn't get it" they're dumber than a box of lugnuts

[@bigwhite7three963]

Leave it to the damn girl to crash

[@KonGKaoZ]

I think the videos are great just the way they are.

[@heatherwalker2820]

Keep that girl off the hill!

[@actuallyallison4931]

I dont know why but the guy in the red chevy crew cab, is very funny to me. Just the way he talks like he doesn't care made me bust a lung

[@jbvap]

that VW is nasty

[@globaloff-road3601]

Yes, there is. Buy the DVD when it comes out in December.

[@RigmorTalonbeard]

That's why you don't let women drive

[@villegas24]

Love big trucks, great episode

[@scientificenigma]

damn that chick sucks at driving rolls it crashes it and makes it 12feet on the hill climb, and couldn't make the rock rawl, some stereo types are true not for all of them but for the majority I mean theres still sabiine schmit

[@demo131980]

crew cab dude cracks me up. dig his helmet. Vdub will win.

[@MrPhazeTwo]

Mr Crew Cab had balls attacking the rocks like that. Also that VW is sick.

[@gtaap0c]

I'd kill for the chance to do this love the vw Def the best all around truck for that kind of wheeling

[@thomasschuler5898]

That yellow truck at the very start is about 300 yards from our lake cabin parked behind a fence.

[@mountainxplorer]

The rear steer is controlled independently by joystick and is run off a 12 volt electric hydraulic pump mounted in the rear with lines running to the steering ram on the rear axle.

[@parsleyslet]

The red chevy crew cap was impressive. That was soon darn good drivin.

[@ChurchieShed]

Fuggin awesome. More please!

[@bluesnowfox361]

Again, this freaking Silverado was not built for any of these challenges and I wish someone would have told him that Jenga towers don't make good vehicles in any event except maybe deep-water wading.

[@Cirebocaj]

HOLY SHIT! I've seen that VW at our local ORV Park before, that's one sick ride.

[@ratattakkustoms]

Thanks man!

[@Cirebocaj]

Matt Huit Don't thank me, it's the truth! Although, it did look funky when you put the trailer wheels on. XD Keep on truckin'!

[@chrisstrand1286]

Lmao. A rock bouncer would own this site!

[@tat2titan]

I gotta give to the VW for being the ONLY ones to make it up that concrete wall!!!! This was a Really Cool Event!!!! ;)

Oh yeah I see that now. Thanks man. I was wondering what on earth they could have stuffed in there, but a 460 makes much more sense!
