Wessypooooo.... He's been saying he's been kidding the whole time but everyone is to fuckin retarded to actually read what he says in his posts... all they see is bmw>>>honda, so dont worry to much lolOff-topic, but hows your tundra holding up? Did you know that Toyota riveted their frames together? Tisk tisk.

Haha, gay jokes are never classified as "Owned"So sorry poophead
Go drive your jap shit can
im not talking about gay jokes "poophead" more like your "track car" thread genious.
and by jap shit can im guessing you mean my sti? because i dont own a honda.

So how fast does this track car go? Would it say do 95.........................in a 75, like your last car???? I thought you didn't have to push your car to prove anything? Or you just scared to get another ticket? Show up to an autox event this year please.

Something botheres me about that toyota vs. Ford video. The video insinuates that the toyota is behaving defectively and that the ford isn't, but doesn't appear to say so or why that's the case.
Visually, the box on the toyota seems to oscillate with a much higher amplitude than the Ford. That may or may not be a problem.
For one, certain trucks, like the Unimog, have a semi-flexible chassis that helps them articulate over rough surfaces. Ford has never and will never make a truck that competes with the Unimog. I have no idea if Toyota was trying to design a bendy chassis for some reason [my guess: they weren't] but it isn't necessarily a bad move in a heavy truck. Just about nothing mass produced has more "real truck" cred than the Unimog.
Secondly, the spacing and size of bumps could have been chosen "carefully". When the Toyota bed appears to be moving most wildly, my non-trained eyes say "that thing is in resonance". The box is rotating in equal degrees each direction off verticle center. That doesn't happen on a random sequence of bumps. Every mechanical system has resonant frequences whereby additional input energy causes massive additional output oscillation [the tacoma narrows bridge video is the canonical example of mechanical systems resonance].
Ford engineers would be clever enough to determine the resonant frequency of of the Toyota, and due to different design decisoins, that frequency could be different than the Ford truck.
If the Toyota box / frame goes into resonance in normal driving / bump situations and the Ford will not, then sure; clear advantage Ford.
But it may be that the Toyota and Ford will go into resonant oscillation at slightly different speeds / bump configurations, and Ford chose the course configuration that maximizes resonant oscillation in the Toyota and then ran the Ford over the same course to "show off" how much better the Ford is.
IOW: without a better description of this test and why it is what it is, it's hard to draw a conclusion from it.

My Toyota is doing just fine, how often do you actually drive on something like that you stupid fuck? And ask me again why my Tundra can pull my camper no problems up hills and my brothers Ford had to pull over and sit for a bit cause it got a little tired :icon_scratch:

There is a longer version online that has i think 4 trucks running the same test road this one is just the side by side of the best and worst i think.
But this is out of context, i will see if i can find the whole video.
EDIT: looks as if i was wrong, it was done by ford. i thought i remembered it wasn't. oh well.

Like thrash said though, that is the point of the typical C channel frame, allowing flex over uneven ground, to reduce chances of cracking, and to keep traction
dont know about new dodges but the 2nd gen frames are boxed from the front to just a bit behind the firewall, C channel the rest of the way
