Thank you for sharing, John. Given the choice I'll still take the troopy over the F250, but sounds like the Ford wins hands down when it comes to towing.

Wow, AU$77600 for an F250, that is almost US$60K. It must be expensive to ship parts to Brazil then to ship the truck to Oz

That is the most retarded, tow test I have ever seen. I wanna see them hook a chain to the back of both of them and see which one comes out on top!!!

I knew who one before it even started. I wonder how a Hilux or Tundra would do against a stupied ford

I have the mag and that tow test was quite average. A naturally aspirated 4.2 litre diesel vs a 7.3 litre intercooled turbo diesel. Guess which one tows the best. They could have at least tested the turbo diesel Troopy.
