Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme



They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.

We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work

This is horrible. Probably ruined the trans and flat spotted all the tires of the losing truck.

And any decent truck owner should know the outcome of towing capacity of a diesel truck to a gasoline truck.

They say stereotypes have a basis in reality, and there is a reason for the stereotype that follows many truck owners.

Growing up in a small town I saw this attitude daily. It is most common among Chevy and Dodge owners. Those two brands of trucks were incredibly popular among the average high schooler or young adult who may or may not need a truck. You would constantly hear the Dodge boys bragging about the mighty Cummins, and the Chevy boys bragging about how Chevy could always beat a Ford. Fords for whatever reason, didn't appeal to this crowd(but were everywhere on construction sites). As a rare Ford fan, I heard the uninformed drivel daily. I don't mind the trucks, it's the owners I have an issue with. 3 out of 4 Chevy/Dodge pickups were lifted with chrome rims. They were almost always short beds as well. Most of the Fords were driven by an older and more mature crowd, and as such were generally stock in height and tire choice, as well as having a utility oriented long bed.

The behavior of all concerned in this video does not surprise me in the least.

I would have laughed my *** off if an injector failed on that Dodge and melted down the engine, as the common rail 5.9 was prone to experience.

Why do you keep saying the same thing another poster says, but without quotes? Pretty much a copy paste.
