Oh my god..I could hear that i-Force ready to shoot out the top of that hood like a bullet it was straining so hard. Geezus!!
That 5.3L is going to self destruct halfway up...

Keepin' the lights on!
Very cool. Doing what a truck was made for. I wondered why ford never included the tundra on the torture test vids. I also say it will end up
1.ford
2.toyota
3. Chevy
Thats if the EB doesn't overheat. FWIW, I've towed for hours on end with my 5.3 z71 at over 4k rpm. Never had one issue with it.

Whoever puts the most sponsor dollars towards that show will win. If its truly unbiased (nothing is) Ill say it'll be:
1) Yota
2) Ferd
3) Chebby
The Ecoboost's advantage is in the lower rpm range. In outright power, the big 5.7 will be tough to beat.

Look at the title. This was sponsored by Toyota, so if they don't win, they wouldn't have released the videos. Now their definition of win might be debatable...
