Chevy won the toughest 4x4 too. they railed the bronco and thats an awesome offroad rig. I think they are becoming slightly biased. Those figure 8 donuts in the 350 were pricelss.

Still think its great that the Ford pulled a train!
But yeah wasn't really a fair comparison and I honestly don't think it was meant to be. Just for TV and kicks is all. I mean the Dodge was a V6 for God's sake.

LOL Dodge is a inline 6....Cummins.....
As of December 2010, the cummins straight-six diesel was still planned for future Rams and was scheduled to be coupled to the eight-speed automatic in 2012 (this may have been postponed).
A power boost on diesels for pickups with automatic transmissions raised torque to 800 lb-ft (from 650) and increased horsepower in the normal cruising range by 40 hp. A new torque converter and changes to the shift algorithms help the transmission to handle the load.

I too am thinking its becoming biased, but look at who drove the Bronco, and besides if he had the 5.0 v8, apposed to the 5.8 V8, he really would have won because the 302s are bulletproof

The guy who drove the bronco was simply a jack ***... He as no clue how to drive and would have won easily if he had the intelligence god gave a radish.....
