I heartily agree. They shouldn't even be allowed to call the USA version "Top Gear"...

They both have their place and both fun to watch. TG USA was all over the place in the first season but now they have a decent formula (test vehicles, winner tests uber car). I like watching Tanner Foust hoon in vehicles other than a rally car.
TG USA did pick up truck episode in season 1 with the big boy trucks.

Any links to the video? Top gears website does not show it and YouTube has nothing. I don't sit and around and watch a lot of tv so that's not really the best method.

The F150 won the family one (only due to the old lady in the poor tundra not knowing how to drive. lol). And the Airplane pull.
Dodge won only the handling one and who knows what happened to the original truck.
Honestly, the best truck ON THAT SHOW was the Tundra. If Rut didn't put it in 4-lo, and was easy on it, he would have been able to pull much harder. We know Tanner goes ***** out on everything. Doesn't mean it would be faster than the F150, just it was put at an unfair advantage.

Hmm, Tundra won the 0-60-0 test and the best off-road.

The Tundra won the offroad test only because Tiny Dancer got distracted playing offroad versus racing. That was clearly admitted on the show.
Tiny Dancer peeled out insanely on the 0-60-0 test, and still only lost by a few inches. Had he taken off normally, he would have won that one too.
And 4 lo actually increases how much you could pull by reducing the gearing, effectively reducing the strain on the engine and transmission by nearly half. It would have struggled even moire if not in 4 lo.
The Ford clearly won the two competitions it won.
So I don't see where the Tundra dominated crap, other than looking like a polished turd.
