The comment section: 95% people bitching about the show 5% people talking about what they watched

[@mattleonard5268]

And 100% don't know anything about offroad driving or mechanical/automotive

[@MrPelhambay]

there may be a few guys knowledgeable on the subject, but they're just sitting back and laughing at the bullshit in the comment section lol

[@mattleonard5268]

MrPelhambay happy to be that 95%. Nah luck to the new guys but fuck i miss old tg

[@jakewhite2870]

Honestly I like both top gears.

[@elmakarov]

These guys are good. They're pretty funny, especially Adam, and I like them. Do I like them more than Clarkson, Hamster and Slow? No. But they are pretty awesome. Top Gear USA is A-Ok by me.

I don't understand why people dislike Top Gear US, Adam and Rut are freaking hilarious and Tanner is one of the best drivers in the world!

[@chrisripplinger]

Freaking hilarious. Not sure why all the haters. Maybe they miss the accent?

[@maddoxhenry5758]

I know it’s really funny. I love it!

[@Slinky_Gamin]

There's so many haters because they are stupid. They try to tear up the vehicles. At least the UK top gear don't try to mess the vehicle up on purpose.

[@austinjewell703]

I'd say that it suffers from the same issue as some of the new top gear (the latest series isn't that bad to be fair) in that they try too hard to be like old top gear

[@jeeper90xj]

I was actually entertained by this one!! lol, but their failure at something I do is just epic to watch!!

[@h.curtis9389]

My daddy has had me I the garage with him since I could walk and I'm almost 12 now! We wheel every chance we get and mom is as much a part as I am! Watching these guys push these truck past there limits. When I was 8 my family treked from Tennessee to Moab than on to DV to do this trail in our then 1997 xj that we built. We pulled the custom built camp wagon and never had any problems like this. Dad always says that idiots like these guys expose all the weaknesses, in order to help us build better trucks!

[@TraustiGeir]

That's my opinion. This was really fun to watch.

[@bicyclist2]

Clarkson, Hammond, and May going through the amazon jungle was much better.

[@tedkejick7569]

What trail did they take. I am extremely curious the path they took. I would like to try it

[@mojo8862]

Clarkson, may and Hammond is still the best.

[@bicyclist2]

Amen to that!

[@TheRossicle]

Gotta start somewhere. The hosts are getting better as the show progresses and figures out it's own groove.

[@bigjake943]

1:51 that was actually pretty funny

[@PatonHaus]

I love how Jeep drivers are always so excited that their Jeep is still running and driving as if it's some kind of achievement. Is that how bad Jeeps have become? So bad that the drivers are thrilled that the engines are even running right in the first place?

Fred from dirt every day is shifting bricks watching this

[@MrkiMash]

Best ever! :D

[@JordanZ25]

I'm not a casting director, but I'd imagine Tanner is a host on the show for contrast between the three, after all, a professional driver is about as opposite as it gets when you look at Adam. I don't know why so many people hate him, he's probably my favorite of the three hosts, although the my favorite moment in the USA Top Gear is when Adam gave wings to a brand new Ford Mustang GT. *Spoiler alert* The wings didn't work.

[@slaznum1]

Folks if you want to watch American top gear it's called roadkill

[@rosslyinch7335]

[@Eleanor1069]

My ram wouldn't even bat an eye at what there're doing haha

[@alexmitchell7333]

of course the ford is first to break down...

[@giantPOS]

ford probably is the strongest rear end the axleshafts only have a small c-clip holding it into the diff which is the only weakpoint of the axle

[@FordMaverickFanatic]

The problem is Adam thinks that you have to floor everything all the time. Someone with the slightest of skill could've got that rig up there with no issues...

[@scientificenigma]

The ford broke because the jackass didn't know how to drive ..I love how he said nothing can stop his jeep..nothing except for a can of food

[@dannyzappala2661]

If the bronco was in bed condition without Adam driving it would have made it.

[@pcwizzy460]

Yeah, He got a 90s Bronco instead of an 86.

[@badwrench13]

That old Dodge Power Wagon belonged to Bobby Beusoleil of the Manson Family. When the cops raided Spahn Ranch, Tex Watson stole the truck and abandoned it in Ballarat. Beusoleil still thinks one day when he gets out of prison (likely never), he's going to go get his truck back.

+hitman5423 nah he don't either, rally driving is also called your way home in Canada

[@joneel271]

I agree... this is some of the most irresponsible offroading I've ever seen

[@Jmmondeau]

I actually built that blue trailer pulled by the Jeep around 2010. I sold it and Top Gear bought it from the guy who bought it from me. After the show Top Gear sold it again and the new owner contacted me. It was quite interesting. They totally in showmanship fashion tried to bust it up by leaving the doors open, dragging the table in the down position (its later seen tied to the roof) and all kinds of stuff. The doors and tables had locks for off road use etc. etc. etc. Ha but it made it to the end. Anyone curios about it can contact me.

[@WinstonMakes]

Because compared to Top Gear UK, this might as well be Sesame Street. We live in a globally connected society, and I think 99.9999% of us here would be perfectly happy if the BBC simply broadcasted TG:UK simultaneously around the world instead of diluting the TG name.

To be quite fair, these guys just need a bit of time to have a quality show. The BBC Top Gear also didn't start out marvelous, and these guys have appeal in America, at least for the people who haven't seen the British version and compare the two constantly.

Guys, the american top gear is really not that bad. they took some good key elements from the original top gear, and put it into the american one, like the crazy challenges, that always made the original top gear good.
