Fastest Truck
In the fastest truck category, competition was fierce. The winner should obviously be the Dodge Ram SRT-10 Night Runner, with its 8.3 Liter Viper V10 and 510 BHP. But at first glance, this Night Runner seems somewhat tame compared another “sport truck” we saw.
I mean, yes its got a spoiler, and some sweet gunmetal rims, and it does have a V10 to back it up.
Take a look at this Ford F-150 though, and you may be deceived into thinking it's faster:
I mean, just look at it. It’s a lime green F-150 with a body kit and chrome wheels and door handles. Fast. However, upon close inspection, we can see that the owner of this sports truck made one crucial mistake. While he put on a spoiler—very important for keeping those rear wheels firmly on the ground when cornering at high speeds—he failed to put a “tonneau” cover over his bed like the owner of our Night Runner. Every sport truck owner knows that a tonneau cover is essential for creating laminar air flow over the bed in order to get all the down force possible on the rear spoiler. Because of this mistake, we can only assume that this F-150 would be crushed by the Night Runner in a high-speed cornering test.
While we found a few lowered S-10s on our respective trips, we were never able to find that illusive S-10 X-treme which would have undoubtedly won this competition. Oh well, I guess the fastest truck award goes to the Night Runner.
