Diesel Power's Truck Olympics: A Salute To Ass-Haulin' And Coal-Rollin'
Diesel Power's Truck Olympics: A Salute To Ass-Haulin' And Coal-Rollin'-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:23

So hosts an absurd(ly entertaining) Olympics of diesel pickups that pits ten heavily modified haulers and their pilots against each other in a series of truckly challenges. There's towing, racing, and than a five-alarm fire.

2014 marks the tenth event and included ten competitors; three Ram Cummins trucks, three Chevrolet Duramax rigs and four Fords with Power Stroke engines.

to see the winners if you must; or place your bets on your favorite power plant and get into it!

In which some 1,800 ft-pounds of torque attack a dyno and turn an entire garage into a hazy gas chamber.

In which these pickup drivers flex their spacial awareness skills. If you haven't done much towing, I can assure you it's not as easy as it looks.

Has to be the fastest Bobcat of all time.

For these twelve seconds or less, they're free. But seriously; you won't believe some of these quarter mile times.

In which the country comes right out of these boys. Easily my favorite challenge of the event!
