Toyota Truck + Ford Ranchero = The Monster Ranchota! | Dirt Every Day | MotorTrend

Fred and Dave find a trusty old Toyota in Louisiana and transform it into a Baja-influenced racing-style Ford. But they don't stop there, and later they turn the Ranchota into a car-crushing monster truck!

[@ridestreet20]

These guys deserve their own shows on KZbin I feel that Motor Trend is really dumbing down their creative process.

[@johngreene6783]

They don't seem to remember doing that big F-350 monster of a truck. Ran over a car and everything LOL

[@Unkomaks]

Ya frl I love that episode even roadkill parked there mini truck underneath lol

[@benjaminvasey8441]

It’s so bizarre to me seeing a truck that size and hearing a tiny four cylinder powering it. The power of gear ratios

[@FJ80Coop]

We ran 44s on this same era Yotas back in the late 70s and mid 80s and later with massive suspension lifts and body lifts all using 20r,amd 22r and 22 re engines with stock trannies and transfer cases... 5.29s front and rear... Were taller than this one and really worked well walking past and around stuck domestic trucks... Weight,flotation and gearing won every time..

[@thomasmoser7382]

@@FJ80Coop i live in europe and we don't live by the bigger is better philosophy so it's always funny to me seeing huge and heavy mud trucks getting owned by lighter trucks that are build more thoughtfull. one of the best examples that you don't need a heavy rig with tons of power is a video where a little sherp just casually drives through (or better over) one of those 5k bounty holes.

[@kylerush7948]

I own a 64 ranchero that trick is tiny and most of them came with a straight sixes. The ranchero and Toyota guys in me are freaking out and want to do it at the same time

[@treya2403]

There’s no way I could get rid of this truck after making it look this good that’s something we dream about owning 😅

[@markfehrenbach4204]

Absolutely love DIRT Everyday. Keep up the creations!!!

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

You just lived every little boys dream that grew up in the late 70's early 80's watching Bigfoot and usa 1

[@Aj1981Mr]

Your finest creation. An engine swap and a roll cage would really make it something special.

[@getchasome6230]

Yay, its Fred and my second favorite Dave Chappelle!!!

[@rangeraficionado87]

I definitely want to see more on this truck/car in the future.

[@psmitty6721]

Late…but worth mentioning: I just started this video and I mean Dave isn’t wrong! Bet this thing is awesome when done. Had a falcon back in the day❤

[@shmithys9222]

okay are we just not gonna talk about how that green cavaliers window didn't break after both tires went directly over it I was honestly more impressed by that than the truck doing what they built it to do

[@EvanMoon]

The weirdest thing is that that generation of that car had the worst crash test ratings of any car almost ever

[@shmithys9222]

@@EvanMoon as someone who has driven a calvalier like twice ever I can attest they are terrible cars

[@teamsparkleracing7753]

Dave really went all in for “the dude” look

[@johnswick4593]

By far the best build (IMHO) so far. The RANCHOTA ROCKS. I could watch you guys fab stuff all day.

[@eh2341]

Outstanding! Dirt Everyday RULES!!!

[@Mikey45013]

Stuff like this is what made this one of the best shows ever filmed

[@tdalb8985]

There is definitely something wrong with you guys. Love it.

[@BrightstixLED]

That's got to be one of the sickest looking rigs y'all smashed together

[@kirbygreen420]

Glad to see content on YT again!!

[@tex_gil117]

That thing ran over those cars way too easy. What a freaky and cool build lol.

[@the_car_guy5915]

I like the Missouri sticker in the back window

[@georgekerr8804]

Great DED, I like that it went to the end.

[@CarswithNash]

I think I preferred the first rendition, but looks like a fun toy either way!👌👍

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

This is one of the craziest builds yet . Love it. 👍💯

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

OBSESSED with Dirt Every Day !!!

[@whosaidthat5236]

You two guys are freaking awesome! Love the content

[@davidaxman]

I would love to see this go on a real trail

[@jeremyl4600]

Artist!!!

[@jamespulaski4988]

Great fun!

[@FJ80Coop]

Best build yet !

[@chrisrolph6333]

still watching this episode but this episode made me remember the toy trucks called "Stompers" when i was young...had 1st gen toyotas,broncos,chevey stepside and even 55 nomads...now im on ebay...lol

[@jamieK111]

Nice!! Not going to see another when you pull this thing into the Big Boy burger parking lot.

[@OBS_Ford]

THIS IS SICK🤣💪🏻🇺🇸

[@muckfoot-4093]

🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

[@plumberhero]

Best one yet!

[@sporty196071]

Oh ok, that's what you say you did, that was incredible.

[@Marz-px6vx]

that's awesome what a build

[@jaysonmailloux435]

You guys are crazy!

[@noduh736]

Its glorious

[@TheSurferboy2]

That is so cool!😳

[@00Tatum]

BIG FUN!!!!

[@mellamolucero]

Way Cool!

[@team187rc]

So awesome 👏🏻 Looks like my r/c truck

[@magicman_metal_fab]

That’s awesome. Super creative, good stuff!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@craigsmith9156]

omg sick bro

[@torsten92]

Got to see y'all guys do a engine swap then it'll be ready to go

[@joeltucker3024]

That thing was awesome

[@ginoalia4473]

Ok that is sick

[@adamarmes1164]

So cool

[@douglasmckee754]

AWESOME

[@willys4869]

For a truck going to Dirt Every Day is like being 60 years old and going out with your college buddies for a blow out, no holds barred weekend. You know it's not going to end well but it's going to be fun.

[@timezone4907]

That was so awesome

[@jakeducote8754]

That trucks gotta Missouri State sticker on there, looks nice

[@johnnycole7990]

Probably the most impressive thing to date

[@wesallen4228]

Nice.

[@karnesrussell]

Cool build

[@MRR-qv3bw]

Spending money on the axles was the way to go! Y'all have to keep going with this one until you fully built it to match the axles under it!🔥🔥🔥

[@beyondmaintenance]

At first I was like, that’s kind of cool, but by the end… I love it ✌🏽😎

[@yashveersingh1795]

Best content ever ❤😊

[@shermandavid20]

💥💥Time 4 a REAL ROLL CAGE!! 👍👍😁

[@pinoyrcmaker72]

Nice build brothers

[@rediron44]

Fun episode

[@calvinjacobs7908]

Yes!

[@henrytaylor3049]

My new favorite monster truck. Tiny monster truck 🤣

[@CTheOlbeast]

Should go rock crawling with that rig!

[@MrBigredtaco99]

You guys need to do an offroad trail comparison between the ranchota and clampy! Now that would awesome!!

[@chrismartin6544]

This is a wicked cool idea. Ok now take it to a garage and build it up right it could be glorious.

[@jeffwilliamson7831]

Rancho just like the El Camino came from station wagons and not stop four-door cars

[@StudioDaVeed]

Most. Epic. F***ing. Build. EVER.

[@josephbartolotta4330]

That actually looks cool, interesting.....

[@noone-qr4vs]

good job

[@JonTaoTaoLoddoJr]

Oregon rocks

[@andrewshavalier4667]

Lol this thing is badass

[@HorsepowerHeadquarters454]

If you squint it looks like a scout lol.

[@nwhuckin7761]

I had my doubts after the ranchero body but the 2-1/2 tons axles redeemed it

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

Now I want a Ranchota.

[@fiveninegarage]

RIP why did they have to cancel this show. It was the best one on motortrend

[@simonbar7665]

Big like

[@paulgreene9997]

I think if you are a good welder you can fit parts from almost anything together. 😆

[@Gniggaaa]

I’d give my soul for that truck

[@honeyforce996]

Apparently those Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires are $1428.99 each. I guess they're new and doing marketing for them, which is probably why youtube gets a 17 minute long version of DED. Kind of like Roadkill sponsored by Dodge.

[@raulvasquez7715]

I need that ranchota

[@benturner9962]

Doin the stuff u guys is like a dream of mine to do with my 97 jeep but I don't have the money to do this kind of stuff

[@ocloredmind4973]

Where's our "World's greatest drag race"?

[@Ethan-es5pd]

I think this was up there with the Ford long bed on like 40s or whatever it was

[@richwood8650]

I've always thought rancheros we're way too ugly for me to drive. But that thing is gorgeous!!! More ideas for my handicapped hunting buggy! Thank you both.

[@tryfourlo2840]

Yeaaahmaaan

[@tedzehnder961]

Dave`s an artist and if you squint at this out of focus a bit this build looks great.

[@benlecluyse]

What happened to the big ol ford 350 with the 54s that was a big monster truck

[@noduh736]

Its really great but needs mo powah

[@EnochLewis-ud8ee]

My buddy owns this think now its just a shell but it's in Georgia

[@alfansomendoza8556]

I wonder how much those axles were!?!?

[@stuie334]

Those poor old cavaliers

[@FueRent]

how does 1cm metal without reinforcing keeps the wheel straight?

Where did the rims and shocks come from? I want a set!
