Offroad Truck Battle: 1937 Ford Megatruck Vs. Chevy Silverado Prerunner

In the other corner is a very clean-looking 2003 Prerunner built and owned by Kenny Falconer. This thing is far from the standard pickup truck, thanks to a full tube frame and a turbocharged 408 cubic-inch V8, making 615 wheel horsepower.

The Silverado is rear-wheel-drive only but has 26 inches of suspension travel at the front and 29 inches at the rear. It's actually quite close to acustom-built trophy truck.

Unsurprisingly, both vehicles sound fantastic. However, the taller, more powerful Ford showed faster acceleration from a standstill on the first run. On its way to the finish line, the vast vehicle also received air time courtesy of one of the track's bumps.

On the second run, the results were the same. The '37 Ford just had so much power and traction from the standstill start, allowing it to maintain a constant lead against the Prerunner.

But while the awesome Ford off-roader won both races, it paid the ultimate sacrifice by having a chunk of its engine block sheared off. It's unclear what caused the damage, but both contestants pushed their rides to the limits, especially on the second run, where both saw significant air time.

The race is filled with blood-pumping action, with commendable efforts from the two racers. Similar to theToyota GR Corolla versus Ford Mustang GT drag race, though, there is a hint of a mismatch. But at the end of the day, that might not even matter because everyone involved had some good ol' fun.
