Truck pull ?? My Expedition vs a Chevy 1500

[scoot0073]

Both are stock mine is a 5.4 4x4 and his Chevy is probably a 5.3 idk honestly 2 wheel drive.
The only thing that I've done to the Expedition is a 3.5/2.5 lift..
It's my nephew he's a die hard Chevy fan and of course I'm a die hard Ford guy.
For the past 5 months he's constantly saying I bet my Chevy can pull that Ford of yours.
Or what's wrong u scared to hook up to this Chevy..
Well it's gotten to the point I'm about to hook up to his Chevy and see what happens..
Just to shut him up..Lol..
Now he's so confident in his truck out pulling my Expedition that he's wanting us to put up a $100 each n boot which one out pulls the other gets the pot..
Now I'm pretty confident that my Expedition could pull his truck but jus wanted to see what others that more knowledgeable than me think ?
Do I have a chance against his truck ?



My Nephew's

You've got the traction bonus- more weight over the rear and power to the front wheels.

Should be able to do beat him.

 

[scoot0073]

Yea that's what I was thinking I got more weight on the rear than his which should hurt him .. but he saying I have to keep it 2 wheel no 4 wheel..Hahaha
Thanks for your insight

Put it in 4low (Just before you pull, he won't know) and you'll be just fine. Hopefully your tires got meat on them

Can't use 4 wheel drive he said..
I'm going to hold off on the pull till I get my New 35's here n about 2 weeks BC I know good meat equals good traction..
Thanks

I'm assuming I probably wanna put it in 1st gear and not in D ??
Or does that not matter

Definitely 1st. It'll guarantee that you actually start in 1st gear.

Waiting for 35s will reduce your effective gear ratio- which isn't good.

I've done this stunt before with the company's 2006 expy, we used a 4"X30ft tow strap on tarmac

06 expy vs 2011 suburban,
3 attempts,
Chevy won in 2wd mode
Expy won in 4wd mode the first time but Chevy guy complained he wasn't ready
We did a third pull in 4hi and the expy did get the lead and kept it but eventually the U joint exploded

So moral of the story, do it in day time so auto parts stores are open this for makes for a quick fix if needed.

Doesn't seem like a fair "fight" since your costs to repair will possible far exceed his...but I've never been much for competitions that match vehicles....I used to road race bikes but those were rider matches nearly as much as equip.

Either way, good luck and rep our Expy's well!

What surface are you going to do it on? Dirt, pavement, grass?

And I agree: in the end, what's it really going to prove? At best, one person is going to pull the other around. At worst, someone is going to break something and get pulled around. I've seen a few of these at the local "friday night cruise-in" and someone usually goes home with broken parts.

It's fun man, when we did it we were having a blast. Sometimes you have the most fun doing the stupidest things... And you get bragging rights while the other guy gets butt hurt

I'm not wanting to do it but he will not shut up about my Chevy will pull that junk Ford..
It's getting old and I'm to the point of doing it just to shut him up .But then if I lose then he's going to keep on and on about how his Chevy pulled my Ford..
And the reason why I'm wanting to wait till I get my new tires is BC the all terrains that's on my Expedition now r shot. They probably got about a 1\8 tread depth left. And I will definitely set myself up to lose ..
And I'm not 100℅ sure that my Expedition can pull him . The only reason why I might have a chance is the fact my Expedition has to weight more than his Chevy but again I'm not that knowledgeable in the key factors for me to have a advantage other than new tires..

Go rearrange a couple of his spark plug wires.

Need more info. Years of vehicles would be a good start, maybe make sure what motor he has? Your nephews truck looks like its old enough to still have the 5.7L, Witch if its stock, your motor will surpass his in HP and TQ. If you don't spin your tiers alot (ie snow, dirt, worst being dry pavment.) your limited slip will beat his as well. Unless he has posi-trac but I doubt he dose. Even if he did, with your weight... If I was a betting man, even with the bit of info you provided; my money would be on your expy.

If you do it you have to record it and post the video here or it didn't happen! ;-)

O I will post the video
His Chevy probably a 94 idk what engine his has other than a V8 it's all stock.
Mine is a 03 EB Expedition 4x4 which he done said I have to stay in 2 wheel.
Most likely it will be on asphalt.
I'm jus waiting to get my new tires so that I'll have some traction..
I'm pretty confident that my Expedition will pull his ****** Chevy BC mine is heavy and that's gonna be a advantage on my end..

The outcome will be based on who looses traction first.

Also pay attention to what hooks the vehicles together. If it fails your back window may pay the price.

Personally I wouldn't abuse a daily driver that way.

 

[Habbibie]

Just cause he can't supply the 4wd option that's not your fault, he cheaped out and bought a 2wd truck, you spent more and bought a 4wd truck... Run what you brung buddy, life isn't fair and that's the way the world works!

 

[BigHoss89]

Yea it's the 5.7L, even in 2WD your going to take him. I don't think you even need to wait for the new tiers. I'm sure your Expy sits up higher than his 2WD Chev pickup as well (What a waste of money a 2WD truck is) so once you start pulling you will neutralize most of what little relative weight he as. (Physics=Mind BLOWN!!!!...) lol
