Nearly all the Thailand Specials couldn't make 100km/h on the laden test (excl Raptor and Wildtrack)

Stopping distances - Raptor loses out because of its junk tyres:

Fuel economy test - Mopar 6 cylinder is a right turd losing out to the American utes:

Navara and Triton are absolute bottom of the barrel turds of the whole crop, Navara got chopped by the GWM Cannon in some of the tests

Its a good test that puts paid to the absolute bull**** of these '3500kg' towing capacities, like I've said before you put most of these things up to a hill and they'd go backwards and I was right - heaps were struggling big time with 2500kg on the back let alone the extra 1000kg they're rated to.

The Navara being the consistent turd of the lot, it couldn't even make 50km/h flat to the boards up the hill.

Overall winner awarded to - RAM 1500.

There you go, in the grand Thailand Special shootout the American ute takes the award.

3kN Laden....that's 300kg test???
I wonder how the newer RAM V8 Hemi would go.
This is the sort of vehicle professional Hotshot teams in the states are running alongside the diesel.
