Hennessey Raptor beat a stock 2500 Silverado up the mountain. Silverado broke a driveshaft. Raptor lost a tire with snow chains and to much power. Clarkson liked the Raptor but the episode was boring.

I must be the Black Sheep. The Red Headed Stepchild. The Ogar. Cinderfella. I like Tanner, Adam and Rutledge. I always get a laugh. Remember that show "101 cars you must drive", or something like that on the Speed Channel a few years ago? There was a show Tanner did during that time. Something about testing high end or exotic vehicles in everyday situations, taking a Hot Chick on a date, then went to the drag strip to challenge someone. Even THAT show, I liked, to a point.

actual episode wasn't the greatest, the 2 drivers (clarkson and may) both really loved the trucks to my surprise. Of course his raptor was the fully tricked out Hennessy version (velociraptor). For any Canadians that watched it, seeing them go to Canadian tire for "supplies" was funny. I wish the episode was a challenge instead of a regular episode. I feel like they could have done more. Hoping their new found love for pickup will spark a cross country pickup challenge!!

I'm surprised that they actually loved the trucks! I thought they'd think they were rubbish but they said the only reason they wouldn't buy one is because they would be too wide for Britain's roads, and that at a red light someone could just run up and steal whatever they had in the back.
As far as I'm concerned an F-150 is no wider than a Range Rover and they make bed covers for the other thing! If I lived in the UK I'd import one.
