3500KG TOW TEST!! FORD F150 vs RAM 1500 vs CHEV 1500

Great review , im sold on the chev 1500 trail boss with its rear auto locker and 10K price difference. Plus the ridiculous price on 2019 Toyota Prado help with the purchase

It is more important to highlight the Kerb Weight. The Tare weight is the unladen weight with 10L of fuel. Therefore, the payload of the 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie RamBox SWB is 800kg. Towing more than the vehicle's weight on a rear hitch is not a good idea. I would suggest a dually with a fifth wheel would be a more appropriate configuration.

It's a good comparison but the 6.4 hemi is More in line with the 6.2 chevy but I don't know if you guys get that engine in australia the 5.0 ford is a great engine but obviously a bit smaller compared to the other two

Nice review, I had a supercharged patrol and now have a ram, in my mind I did think the ram pulled harder and was more willing to deliver its power.

No towing mirrors?
No diesel versons of these vehicles?


How about give a " starting price " guide of these 3 trucks?

You can get a supercharger from the conversion people Walkinshaw for the Silverado for about $25k with a warranty. Beast

700lts of fuel was used during the production of this video 😂

I like the Ram.

Why do we need to know the 0-100 time? What a pointless video.

Makes me wonder if traction control was on a lower setting on the Ram than the other 2 ???? Tyre pressure higher ??

I would have loved to see the transmission oil temps, coolant temps after each flogging. Especially the Chevy after 3, 0-100 runs back to back. And you didn’t mention the down weight on the ball of the Chevy which was half the reason I was here. Other than that, great video. Except I had to keep skipping the long shots of driving along with pretty crappy music dubbed over it. I’m all for seeing how they look on the road but I thought it was a bit overkill and short and sweet from a few different angles would have been sufficient ✌🏻👍🏻

They're very good for towing
Very good on road
But you take em off road through mud and sand they struggle
Long wheel base struggles

Jesus! Your taste in music is pure shit. No music please, it isn't needed. Would have been interesting to see the Utes loaded for touring, just to get real world numbers. Speeds, weights etc.

It's a shame you didn't also compare a 79 Toyota duel cab. That is the best Australian delivered rhd tow ute. I would like to see how it stood up to these bigger more expensive trucks.

More importantly is reliability, why is Ford number 1 selling in the usa year after year, ram parts are a killer and they have bad reliability, there parts are so overpriced.

As a lifelong chevy man, i can tell you, do not buy a chevy with AFM/DFM. The collapsing lifters are shredding engines!

Great video. but i take it that engine was loud inside, you did not need to yell so much but you did seem excited

I don’t want to insult you but you kind of look like Hightower. Maybe not quite as tall.

I’d like to have seen this video with all 3 in their diesel forms.

Haha just lost brownie points for not have seen Police Academy 🤣 what the ?? 😂
Really dig the Chev..

I wanted the Silverado to win u punk

The 3.5 eco boost would have left all 3 in the dust

Why the hell doesnt she say what the f150 0-100 time was 😡

These the 3 of the work horses....of America.....they are not the best...they are the 3 options in the US that start from 29K.......in Australia they will star from 90k......big difference.......the cheep will be expensive in Australia

I don't think you should be gunning any of these vehicles from a standing start with a caravan on the back! I did it a long time ago with a max load trailer and twisted the towbar!!!

LMAO

Thank you. Good to see a real test done. Wouldnt mind seeing the F150 v6 joined to the the line up. Nice to watch your videos with out all the adds & the click baiting & presure to like comment & subscribe. Keep up the good work.

Yep a $40 grand truck in the states being flogged after a rebuild for anything up to $180 grand real bloody fair.

Ford RAPTOR!!

It's too bad ford is not bringing a 5 litre f150 to Australia, so it's really a vehicle no one will be buying 🤔

f150 coming to oz is powered by 3.5 twin turbo engine, isn’t it?

Who the hell would drive a vehicle this heavy in a petrol engine. They need to have diesel variants for Aus. Our fuel prices are much higher than the US.

only the v6 powerstroke in the F150 is coming to Australia via official Ford dealerships, test is irrelevant

The actual payload of all three of these is in the 750-850 kg range, which is barely enough to have 350 kg on the towball and five people plus luggage, let alone 450 kg on the towball towing 4500 kg. I certainly wouldn't want to tow 4500 kg with a 2400-2600 kg tow vehicle.

Ford is the most aesthetically pleasing in my opinion

Good video, but in my opinion required more information on the down forced through the truck with 300kg on the ball. In particular the rear axle load. I’m currently looking at the Silverado, which only has 524kg to play with through the rear axle. A 300kg TBW results in approximately 450kg through the rear axle. Put the two of you in the vehicle and your looking at being overloaded!
To quote 4500kg towing and 750 payload, without going into the details, has the potential to leave prospective purchasers overloaded ( and hence uninsured) if they don’t do their sums.

I'm curious as to what's the total combination weight a driver with a car license is allowed there? & the fuel economy of each truck with and without the caravan please?

Dodge ram is not American.

Bullshit

I would not buy any of them. The best is the Silverado with the 6.2L V8, but it lacks in its payload. The Ford's engine at 5.0L is too small for towing. Why not the Godzilla 7.3L? The Ram also has too small an engine at 5.7L. Why does it not have the Hemi 6.4L? When you are towing there is no replacement for displacement.

Everyone talks like it's a new thing. Silverados have been coming out for years!

The girl in the video is just absolutely beautiful 😍

Tone have music down

Dodge ram is not American anymore, you should know that.

Great video guys , this was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.👍

Finally a towing review on these trucks specifically for what they are intended for!
Excellent & very professional review with spectacular photography scenery in the background.
Though would’ve loved for the F150 3.5L V6 ecoboost to have been included as the dark horse, especially with much more torque than any of the V8’s.
Love the F150 Lariat 3.5L V6, but concerned with its towing capacity given its low kerb weight of around 2.5 tons? I have always been taught never to tow anything heavier than the tow vehicle.
Would appreciate your professional opinion on this?

Would have been good to have all results up on the screen side by side at the end.

Well done guys.

Wow ! Astounding Vid, Thank you !

I went with the F150 when I got my truck. I've driven and hauled with Rams at work, they have that accelerator tuned so hot that I've also spun tires while hauling. They also fold like a lawn chair in wrecks. Normally I'd recommend not crashing, but if you're gonna do it, the Ram is not the one you want to do it in. I can also drop into sport mode and play with a Hemi. The ram bodies also rust the quickest, idk if its a paint or prep thing, but the F150 with the aluminum body if undercoated, should last as long as that motor can take it. I remember when I was looking at trucks, looking at a few Rams 2-5 years old with paint already bubbling. Rams also have lifter issues due to the cylinder deactivation, Chevy's are even worse. I didn't even consider Chevy with the reputation for their cylinder deactivation issues. My buddy's 19 ram has the tick. The 5.0 was efficient enough that they avoided using cylinder deactivation until like the 22 model year (might not be the exact year.) Time will tell, but over all I felt the Ford would be the longest lasting and that's what I consider the most important, it hasn't disappointed yet. I haul just under 7k lbs (3100ish KG) via an enclosed trailer/toy hauler conversion with a KRX and dirtbikes from the prairies of middle America to the mountains, around 1400 miles one way and it pulls like a dream.
