Trailer Tow Obstacle Course - Day 2 of Diesel Power Challenge 2014!

[@peralez2383]

best thing MT has ever showed

[@STAG162]

In other parts of the world, it's known as a skid-steer front-end loader. Here we call it a Bobcat. Extremely versatile, go just about anywhere. Hard to believe that some of these exceed 7500lb (3.4T)

[@disposablehero4985]

What a great way to showcase trucks that can easily have a curb weight over 6K lbs; which can sit a large family comfortably, get decent fuel mileage, pull other cars/trucks/boats/campers/small houses...., hit the drag strip (continuously) competing with drag queens, go trailing, go cross country, go to the grocery store while having the piece of mind that you will almost always survive a collision with a VW Golf and are only improving your chances against a SEMI.

[@neurotoksin]

I love the '95 Ford!

[@D3thM3tal]

Its the dinosaur of the group - love seeing it get pounded on.

[@maximilianomendozamejia1783]

Yeah ! Its great that truck

[@spencerreborn7]

Nothing beats the sound of that ol' 7.3

[@Texas12valve]

Underscorer ya when a powerstroke actually runs

[@SoulRebel02]

D -DUB The 7.3L's are nearly destructible as long as they're not modified too crazy.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Gotta have a lot of respect for all the skill.

[@TheTallRaver]

WHY NOT SHOW A FULL RUN OF EVERY ONE??? REALLY DISAPPOINTING...

[@23ayjayjay]

I know I hate this jumping around stuff.

[@uiyi67]

I guess 11:36 is why they don't show It all...

[@tull118]

They did so last year. Saw the 2nd video, and there were only full runns there. Don't know about the other videos from last year though.

[@Boredout454]

Good to see good Ole' Americans in Good ole Trucks. Especially like the Dodges representing. Dodge has really stepped up in the last few years.

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

Next year, if they want to make it harder, have them pull and park a single wave runner. We know the trucks can pull the weight, but can they see a small trailer behind their truck and get it parked? IMO, it's much harder.

[@chese203]

Ya know, I absolutely hate trucks with chrome rims and tiny tires, but I cannot deny how insanely powerful that truck is. And the driver is pretty damn good.

[@jcw1ll1s]

I will be cheering on for the Chevys.

[@antivanti]

Once again nice to see a huge improvement over last year which was mostly amateur hour. =)

[@Boredout454]

Well I honestly liked the amateurs because well I believe that represents most of Americans/Canadians.

[@arkiepoo]

A v12 Touareg would wipe the floor with half these trucks

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Not even close...these highly modified trucks are making three-four times as much power and torque as the V-12 TDI Touareg does... The VW Touareg is a fine suv, but no were close to these titans. Pay attention.

[@superpug666]

if im not mistaken there was never v12 touareg in the states.......that v12 is an awesome motor saw it in a Q7....even the v10s in the first gen touaregs were beasts...not allthat reliable from what i heard :(

[@SvonSeggern]

superpug666 VW brought about 500 over to USA. It won Four Wheeler of the Year in I think 2005.....we had a long termer for a year. Great car but required tons of service.

[@superpug666]

Steve von Seggern you mean the v12? Because impretty damn sure they were more than 500 v10 in the states

[@jeanmi278]

superpug666 touareg towing something lol? doesnt even have a frame

[@MrBartoriginal]

While not a heavy duty truck & not a big skid-steer. I did use my 1996 Safari GMC van to tow my flatbed weighing between 2400 & 2500 lbs with an antique1963 Bobcat with backhoe 250 miles. I believe this would be comparable to towing a heavier skid-steer with a bigger truck considering the power of the vehicle & the weight of the load. I had no problems towing this load the 4.3 liter motor performed great. I did use a 1000 LB. Reese load equalizer hitch system to help handle the weight. This same trailer was my Dads & once hauled a 9200 lb 1958 John Deer 2 cylinder diesel dozer with a similar hitch system behind a heave half 1500 series 1968 Chevy with a 305 V8 & a 4 speed manual transmission 135 miles & back again. Then turned around & towed as 40' x 8' mobile home over the same road. Dad did say that the mobile home was easier to tow. We even passed an old Geezer in a 1948 Ford in a clear stretch on 2 lane road. The Chevy was almost new at the time. These trucks now days are great but the drivers in the past did as much work with regular trucks as they do now days with heavy duty trucks & sometimes more considering how many of these trucks are on the road now days & the amount of work they are doing, & the trucks that are all show & no go as far as doing work.

[@robinburt5735]

I like it, it's like watching those strongman competitions but with huge trucks

[@musspolat1636]

[@ohblondi]

The pipes on the blue chevy are sick

[@mattsgarage6670]

Who else was rooting for the old 7.3

[@Humance]

In my country would be extremely expensive maintain one of those trucks, but damn they are COOL!

[@hunterlucas1581]

I love that big red F350 and the Black 95 model to.

[@ShamusOGrady2]

What happened to the kid with the 6.7 powerstroke?

[@OneSneakyGamer]

thats what i was wondering

[@vinisuehara]

i want a diesel just to rollin coal, man too funny hahaha

[@SnakesAndArrows71]

Its bad on your injectors

[@ericishmael8923]

what a douche thing to say

[@gabereed8354]

no point in wasting the money if your not actually going to use it to race or pull

[@wantsanewvehicle]

Vinicius Suehara oh hey just like 75% of people that buy diesel trucks.. ugh.

[@brianhilligoss]

These dyno queen trucks can barely pull 10000lbs. What the point of a diesel if it can't tow?

[@jeromeburrasca6710]

MT are you going to test the Hellcat's top speed at Nardo? I know that you could only get 195mph top speed out of the Mustang GT500 at the Kingman AZ track. Aslo could you please confirm if it's true that the Hellcat will be the new "Hero" car in the new Mad Max movie coming out next year? Thanks! :o)

[@nellsonstout7001]

I'll take anything but the duramaxipad, but PLEASE give me the OBS

[@nelsontorres6562]

a

[@RAJohnson713]

WOW motortrend could you make it any shorter??????

[@rroadrider15]

Yay only 2012 days of this!

[@CrapShackGaming]

How does he have brakes if he has no power steering? The truck uses a hydrobooster

[@semaisking]

Awesome!! Totally Rad.

[@jesse1588]

what happened to the 6.7 ford?

[@andrelabeach4069]

what happened to Dan manary?

[@ryanwitton61]

What song do they play at the start? ??

[@theshawnofficial6180]

If u make do with with a smaller car, why have 7.3L of fuel wasting 'Merica? I'm from Canada and like trucks, but why would you need that unless you tow a goose neck 2-4 times a week. I know some one who can tow a 38 foot over ruff terrain with a ram 1500. What's the point.

[@Diwash1]

2012 MORE DAYS TO GO.

[@natureon84s]

Dmax for the win

[@billhill7330]

talk about no power steering ive driven an old f 600 loaded with grain with nooooo power steering even going 30 mph it was hard to turn the wheel.

[@drummera2]

What happened to the 6.7?

[@chrisbaker2306]

drummera2 he knew there was no competition

[@iurisena221]

Nice truck's

[@davidcard322]

It's a 7000 pound skid steer

[@colinvandam5306]

intro song?

[@bruceleeawesomness]

Tow mirrors up in the Cummins =50 HP!

[@JaredReabow]

one run likely fuels my car for a year hehe

[@frankenstrat25]

that first cummins is far from a work truck lol

[@Rayan.9se]

Too bad these trucks dont come in diesel here in saudi.The three manufacturers send only gasoline versions of these trucks!

[@Jacked153]

@10:01 he move all 3 cones but got no penalty.

[@Maples01]

Poor baby, I drive everyday without power steering, and have manual drum brakes, using hand controls for gas and brake, no assist, one hand steering.

[@Maples01]

As long as it's moving, the steering is good, power really helps at a dead stop, none of these guys were turning at a dead stop. I had the fun of living in a duplex with neighbors lining the streets with cars, I was backing a 14 foot dual axle trailer in my driveway, with an extended van, the overhang of 3 feet past the rear wheels, miss the cars on the road, my yard, and the neighbors car parked next to me, not a bunch of oops I hit a cone crap. I got to where I could do it without any forward and back, just straight on, it was tighter than their course, I can tell you that. Could put in, or haul out my 22 foot pontoon while people were trying to get theirs unstrapped too, my ex and I had a pattern, could make tournament fishermen flinch. I mean that course is cool and all, but what are they out to prove?

[@LgSutterby]

My '71 Chevy has manual steering, manual gearbox, and I can still do about anything in it (except go fast lol)

[@Maples01]

The manual brakes are a bit much tho, always feel like I'm gonna break the rod off of my hand control from pushing so hard when I have to stop fast. I did break a spinner knob off, those at the parts stores aren't durable at all, had to get one that goes to a tractor. Oh I can go fast, causes issues because you often forget it's not easy to stop.

[@JPacheco91]

Rollin coal is stupid....

[@sstroh08]

so is ignorance...

[@zackfraser8924]

First f-350 didn't struggle one bit

[@sasquatchcrew]

All that soot is inly visible because its black. People blaming diesels for emissions shit etc etc dont have any idea how much their own gassers waste fuel the same way, but cant see it. Such as in NHRA most of the dragsters fuel goes out the exhaust, but its a clear gas form.

[@CNN_IRAQ]

wow good men i like this i love this cars i love (USA)%100

[@abedekok5660]

It's kind of funny that my dad's stock '00 F-150 V6 can the pull a skid steer and trailer of the same weight as these chodemachines can.

[@barretthiskett6905]

Abe Dekok go watch the tractor pull your f150 wouldn't move it out of the gate

[@aahessu]

New video from MT woohoo

[@bwspyder1]

Yeah its not a 10k trailer. Skid steer weighs 6500lbs. No way the trailer weighs 3.5k

[@nocableguy]

Skid steers weight about 8k and 2k for the trailer.

[@Demo8FTW]

nocableguy Actually he's right, look up that model of skid steer. It's only 6450lbs

[@bwspyder1]

nocableguy wow

[@abedekok5660]

Most trucks like these are compensating for something they do not have. Just saying.

[@matthewnelson3578]

I want to play.

[@c0c0asauce]

They need to filter through some of these comments. I know you big truck guys are too proud to ignore a shit talker but the trolls are not going to settle down until you stop replying.

[@bmwidiot]

diesel power challenge 2013 was much better!,longer episodes and shit

[@sneakysnakepie1]

Ha many guys who think rolling coal is suppose to happen or looks cool, just wasting fuel. Unless your towing something but only should see a little. What about cativation, anybody worrying about that?

[@isaacwilson3344]

its a by product of running rich... which is done to cool the engine for more power and lower egt's

[@sneakysnakepie1]

Isaac Wilson I don't get what your saying. A "by product" like in the diesel fuel? They program the truck to dump more fuel and older trucks you could do that with no computer. On my OBS 7.3 idi i got it fixed unless I'm towing a trailer up a hill (and even then little smoke) it is not blowing smoke. To run cooler is all in the size of your radiator size, I have 8 gallons. But u do get a little rich runs cooler but you don't need it to run that much richer.

[@NVMDSTEvil]

sneakysnakepie1 Radiator size does nothing to EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperatures) which are dangerous above about 1400-1600 deg F. I agree I dislike the excessive amount of soot that many high performance trucks create, but vs a high power gasoline vehicle it is markedly less damaging to the environment.

[@sneakysnakepie1]

I true but hey, if they want bad mpg and horsepower so be it

[@isaacwilson3344]

sneakysnakepie1 the black smoke is a byproduct. these guys are tuned to run rich for performance...and keep in mind that up in high altitudes (like colorado) with less dense air they're running richer. however that said, some people just run waaaay rich for the smoke which is just plain dumb.

[@Akeel78680]

Wow

[@Clutch_Kick187]

This comp sucks...please replace this with something better suited for the power these trucks make..the rest are fun to watch but this portion is boring...

[@MrArrakis9]

PLEASE for the love of god motor trend fire the editor putting the videos together it was clearly done by an 8 year old its even worse than last years set of videos

[@Bryan88pgt]

I could do better in my 01 chevy silverado 1500. no diesel needed

[@Hybridalienz]

Bmx*

[@MCMonsterbuilder]

I love Diesel engines and this trucks are so cool but so stupid at the same time they are very useless. But I would love to drive a diesel. Never one like this cause I guess they would be illegal here with all the emmision laws but thats not it, rolling coal is just so stupid I want to be able to blow by other ppl without repainting their car black.

[@JPacheco91]

This sucks...

[@LgSutterby]

So then why the hell did you watch it?

[@user-maxim_79]

Most.of.these trucks.are awful looking
