As an American on a work trip in Italy, I had to rent a car and was warned by the agent: “It is an extremely big car!” He looked at us with fear. He showed us the car, my coworker and I laughed hysterically. It was essentially a small station wagon or “estate car” We were like, “we’ll be fine!”

Realistically he had plenty of room most of the time he was just nervous driving it.

I have an F-350 with a 7.3 liter Godzilla engine. I could have whipped that thing around these spots easy peasy. He was definitely hamming it up a bit. That said, the first time you drive a truck that size, it can be intimidating.

I worked with a guy from Switzerland and when he had to go back home he said the thing he would miss most was his Lincoln Navigator. he absolutely loved the size of American vehicles.

As an auto body tech I’m cringing watching him use a hard bristled brush on that beautiful truck! Not to mention repeatedly smacking the hose against it! Lol

They call it gas because it is short for gasoline

The truck is a Ram TRX that is fitted with the 6.2l Hellcat engine. Hennessey performance added a 2.65l supercharger along with loads of other performance mods to create an absolute animal. So the total displacement of the engine is almost 9liters lol.... 1000hp and nearly 1000 lb ft of torque.

He’s lucky he’s driving the short bed version. Instead of the long bed. It would’ve been a lot worse.😬😁

I watch a fitness channel that's in Britain, and the couple that run it purchased a big Ford truck like a year ago. It's funny watching the videos of them driving it. They travel to the US a lot, and they both fell in love with the truck culture in the US.

The van behind him is the size of Rhode Island and yet he's trying to make us believe this Ram pickup is to big to navigate it's way through this village during midday. Wicked funny guys!

Why is he so scared to drive 😂

This was like one of those infomercials where they try to make everything look more difficult so they can sell some crappy "as seen on TV" junk. Lmao

My Jeep Compass doesn't have a gas cap either. The fuel door has a small piece on the inside of the door that covers the opening. From what I've seen on different videos your roads aren't any different than the back roads in my area of Pennsylvania. My area roads are just walking trails and horse paths that were eventually paved.

The engine in that TRX was a 6.2L from the factory (supercharged) but Hennessey does upgrade some of their mopars with a 427(7L) v8

He drives like a rookie driver. He way to nervous when he has a foot of clearance on both sides. Have a good experienced guy with a year in these conditions do a show and witness the best terror on the faces of British folks.😉👍

They should have got someone who could F'n drive.

"How can I over-exaggerate every single thing... I'll just keep saying I'm sorry even though no one's around and make a six-point turn at a gas station when I could have just pulled right in"

My buddy with a truck always says "I'm bigger than they are, they'll move."

I would never let anyone wash my car, nor would I use that brush on the paint. I was cringing the whole time.

The gas vs petrol argument always cracks me up. The Brits call it petrol because it's short for Petroleum and The Americans call it gas because it's short for gasoline, which is derived from petroleum. Why is that such a crazy concept to comprehend?

They let you pump fuel and THEN go inside and pay? Over here, it’s either pay with a card at the pump or go inside first, pay, then pump to avoid drive-offs.

😂 Daz saying he would be a "proper asshole" sent me. It's so british

I can guarantee I can competently drive that truck anywhere within Europe. All it takes is to learn your vehicle’s dimensions, set up the driver’s seat correctly to where you can see the front of the hood and not be scared when you’re getting close to other vehicles or objects. Also, in drive throughs, I pull up right next to the windows so there’s just 1 foot at the most in distance and it’s easier to make the transactions.

Cheers from a Truck owner in Texas. Honestly, it was quite cool to see a Texas Truck in the UK. Im not a Dodge guy but that Hennessey Mammoth is a bad ass lookin and sounding truck. I bet a heavy duty Dually would be damn near impossible to navigate in the UK

Dave looks like a "proper" truck guy. Love yalls content! Keep it up!

If it really has 1,000 hp, it is bigger than 5.7 ltr. I must be at least a 6.2 ltr, and probably turbo charged. The truck isn't all that big. I would like to see what he could do with a dually long bed.

"Why do they call it gas" Gasoline.... lol

Only retails for 170,000USD. The Blokes should get a fleet of them

That would be a little over 26 gallons in the US and looking at current prices that would be close to $80 usd. Edit: that's before he pumped the 2nd time

Top Gear did this I think Talk about exaggerated. Dude had plenty of space everywhere and zero common sense lol

At most American gas stations there's enough space between the pumps to just drive around the person in front of you. You'd never be stuck waiting on someone like that. Also, we aren't quite as polite as Brits, so that white van would've been asked to move lol. Either directly, or indirectly by putting the car in reverse so they see your lights and know you want to back up.

The Ram TRX has the small tank for the Ram 1500s at 33 gallon/125L. The Ram HD have an optional 50 gallon/190L tank and Ford crew cab long bed trucks come standard with a 48 gallon/182L tank.

5:06 atta boy Mike lol washing your truck gives a sense of pride in south lol

All FCA (now Stellantis) vehicles are capless. Same with GM.

The TRX comes standard with a 6.2L supercharged v8 rated at just over 700 hp. Hennessey increases the size of the supercharger, but keeps the 6.2L block.

Some people from other countries sometimes make fun of us for having big trucks without hauling anything. A lot of times, we buy these trucks for off-roading/overlanding. That truck looks like it can cross deserts and rugged terrain. You can drive to a remote camping spot in the middle of nowhere with these types of trucks.

He was definitely playing it up. I had a Dodge Durango in Germany, and didn't have many issues, except parking garages.

The 1/2 tons are the entry level to full-size. That Hennessey is a crew cab with a micro (5.5 foot) bed. The crew cab short box (6.5 foot) is the most popular configuration and it is about a foot longer. Once you go to the Large Truck (over 8,500 lb GVM/GVWR) you can get a crew cab standard bed (8 foot). They are about 22 feet long.

When you guys across the pond are filling up, do you really have to stand there and hold it?

you calling out his accent is amazing...because I can't tell enough of a difference lol.

So, he has enough money for McDonalds but not enough to finish washing his truck?

To be honest, a real American (or someone that just spent some time driving this) that has experience driving a large truck would cope much easier on British roads with a vehicle like this. Not saying it wouldn't be difficult, but when you drive a large vehicle on a regular basis you prejudge a lot of situations, know your limitations, and don't put yourself in spots that are too tight like small drive throughs. As far as his issues with being uncomfortable with the dimensions of the vehicle, around narrow confinements and other vehicles (where he obviously had plenty of room), if you know your truck, you are subconsciously aware of how wide it is, what your clearance is, you instinctively know lane widths by reference points you subconsciously note on your hood, etc. Danger comes from unseen low, out-of-view objects like short bollards in parking lots or at gas stations that you can end up too close to and scrape up against if you turn as you are leaving and the back of the truck swings outward an inch or two making contact.

That truck isn't even that big.

A truck that size is relatively normal size for our roads in the U.S

Embracing their inner American, haha!

I think you would say "This guy is taking the piss", because he was like 7,000 ft away from the drive through window... Even my grandpa that doesn't know where he is half that time and can't see the tv 5ft from his face can get closer to the window.

I agree with Mike. I used to work at a carwash and nobody's touching my car but me.

That’s a short bed box with a crew cab. I’ve seen a Centurion conversion with an extra bench seat. So 3 doors on each side and not to mention it had a full sized bed. It seated 9. So stretch it in length by 1.25m

Its a high-flow 2.65L supercharger, mounted to a 6.2L V8. 1012 HP, 969 foot pounds of torque

If any of The Blokes were driving this jaundiced beast, I'd fully expect a rear windshield decal proclaiming a lifelong dedication to the art of MUTTON BUSTIN'

Excellent video!!! Demonstrates what you blokes have been saying, perfectly!

Driving a truck like that is not difficult. He's making it seem like he's driving a giant bus.

It's a 6.2L supercharged V8. They come stock with 707, but this one is obviously not stock.

Thats actually rather small tank as some of the older ford P/U take almost 50 gal. My Sonata takes 20 gals and gets 30 mpg and a medium car.

When I saw the the thumbnail, I thought, oh and you need the weirdest color head lights, the rudest accessories hanging from the back. Then I wondered why and had no answer. lol

Big trucks like that are standard 36 gallon tanks for US imperial units. Usually costs me about $120 or so to fill up

Either the driver is playing to the camera or he has no spatial awareness at all. He’s coming to a stop and whining like he is afraid he’s going to hit something while he has a good two feet to either side.

Imagine if that dude stuck in the car behind him at the petrol station was Ronnie Pickering!

I live in rural Colorado Rockies and my husband builds substations. We've lived significant amount of time in California Arkansas Ohio and now Colorado. The average American cannot afford a truck that big. And I'm not saying that these don't travel the roads. But I found these two be used more for work vehicles. Whether it's road crews or a rodeo. 🤷🏼

I needed to see this. I always underestimate how small the UK roads are whenever you guys bring it up but now I can wrap my head around much better

base models will come with a 3.6, an e torrq, 5.7 hemi. higher models come with a 6.2 or 6.4L thats a 6.4L for the trx mammoth hennessey

Never use the brush at a carwash on the vehicle's body. Unless you don't mind scratches in your paint. It can have gritty dirt or gravel in the brush. I cringe every time I see someone use it for that.

When I was stationed in the UK I was briefed that my Chevy would be too big for the villages. So before I came I bought a new Toyota. No one told me I’d have to drive on the left side of the road. There is a funny though, you should see my wife’s eyes when I tried to pass. I could tell about the amount of panic in her eyes if another car was coming our way

We call gas because it is gasoline

The overexaggeration of everything was the best and funniest part lol.

Would have been more impressed if it was a 3500 4X4 dually long-bed. "Gas" is short for gasoline.

Why do I get the very distinct impression that he's deliberately doing everything the hardest way possible..?

You guys need to react to drivetribe if you want another take on this truck and a hellcat charger in the uk, great videos

What is brown sauce? What’s a breakfast roll?? What breakfast food could possibly regularly use ketchup enough to be suggested?

Your engine doesn't burn liquid it burns vapor.

Never thought I'd see Matt from CARWOW kn this channel. CARWOW is an awesome youtube channel if your into cars, especially drag racing between iconic vehicles.

If he knew how to drive it wouldnt be so bad

Jesus he acts like he's driving a Peterbilt

It's Gasoline. Their are hundreds of petro chemicals, about a 1/2 dozen that are fuel. Only one called Gasoline or "gas" for short, not because it's a gas.

As someone from the U.S., I was hoping he would use UK license (number) plates. That monstrosity with Texas plates while causing huge delays at the fuel station don't do a lot to further Anglo-American relations!

That looks like my RAM but mine is a charcoal grey HEMI 1500. To say I love her is an understatement

I never heard of this. It is a Dodge RAM with a load of performance mods by Hennessy. Limited production of 200. Cost 150,000 pounds.

Typical F-150 trucks all have a 40 gallon tank, (40*4liters per gallon) gives you 160 liter tanks. My family’s 2012 f-150 can go about 600 miles before refueling if you are highway driving

Looks like an absolute nightmare to drive in England regardless of what vehicle you have

You Gentlemen should watch a video of that truck being driven by someone that can actually drive (any American male over the age of 3)!

Definitely hamming it up for that video.

I really enjoyed the video guys, nice job.

It's a Dodge RAM TRX (Hellcat Red Eye engine 6.2L Supercharged) modified by Hennessy.

I guess this is his first time driving an oversized pickup.. it becomes routine, it’s not such a delicate process as he’s making it out to be imho.

Nobody in the states gets done washing in one go, neither for vacuuming.

Well, the Hellcat engine is 6.2 liters unless they fitted it with the Hellephant... The Hellephant is a 7.0 liter V-8... Physically, the pickup is roughly the same size as those Sprinter delivery vans... For me, it's a bit all, as I prefer my pickups to be fitted with the 8 foot long bed.... The clip is a bit silly, and exaggerated... British main roads are designed to fit articulating lorties, like semi trucks... While the UKorry may be shorter, it's still about the same width and hight as the American counterparts... That Ram is narrower than the large trucks...

The newer vehicles don’t have fuel caps anymore. Well at least my lines doesn’t. Way more convenient

In America I fill my tank with $40…these uk gas prices are insane.

I believe that the first problem is that the steering wheel is on the wrong side for the U.K.. Good thing he's not driving a Haul truck.

This is a kind of normal car in america. There are some that are like you have to climb like a full ladder to get into. Like a toned down mad max car. As an American there are tons of old cars that people restore and also massive trucks around the most it gets is like a oh that’s cool and you point at it for a second.

The man has so much space in all his "tight" spots. I understand it's for comedic value, but 🙄Our drive "thrus" are the same size 😁

I earned a living driving a 45foot trailer in NYC, get enough experience it’s like driving a Mini.

1 last thing, he's playing the nervous pansy on purpose, British humor I guess , a bold driver confident with a cowboy hat, oh yeah

Most of the gaps he was complaining about seem like TONS of room to me. In the city I live in, cars of all sizes (even delivery trucks) speed in a 25mph zone up to 50mph with parked cars lining both sides of the road with mere inches between them and the cars parked along their side while squeezing past oncoming traffic going the same speeds and with maybe a max of 2ft of wiggle room (about 2/3 of a meter) for wiggle room. I find this really interesting but I wonder what someone who is both used to large Murican' vehicles AND the British roadways could do. I think they would be able to navigate all of that much easier than he did. It's always a matter of what you're used to I think. 😄

When I worked for a Government City Agency we had to drive Combo-Units around 40'-50' in length and with extensions that reached up to 50'+ high. We often had to have spotters guide us down city streets and alleys @ 3mph. I never completely taken out a utility line but I did 'trim' quit a few trees. Exemption has it's privileges. :)

That guy would have crapped his pants driving my RAM 2500 quad cab long bed, 6"lift, and 37" tires. It would have taken up a lane and a half of those roads.

He is a pretty good driver. I can't even drive a big car like that in America.

BP and their weird green gas pumps that have ruined a lot of diesel engines here in the states. Anyways as a kid when we lived in Germany my dad had a 94 long bed extended cab f150 and our English mastiff loved to go for rides and lean over and bark at people through their sunroofs.

Trucks like that are great for hauling heavy loads & towing trailers but they suck for commuting. 11 mpg & impossible to park at some places. These are everywhere here in Texas but probably a lot of what sells them is girls love them. Monster trucks & muscle cars. If you're getting 30+ mpg in Texas you're either married or a 40 year old virgin.

I bet if his steering wheel had been on the right side of the truck instead of on the left side of the truck,he would have eventually got use to the size of the vehicle.
