The trucks are all put through the grueling Ike Gauntlet, which is designed to be an extreme test of a truck’s towing and overall performance. The Ike Gauntlet has high elevation, steep grades and heavy loads that challenge the trucks.
The team at TFLtruck use the Ike Gauntlet scoring system to determine the winners in each category.
“Maximum-effort testing is what the Ike Gauntlet is all about. High elevation, steep grades and heavy loads certainly challenge all trucks that participate,” commented Andre Smirnov, Producer and Managing Editor of TFLtruck. “Now, with our new scoring system, our viewers can clearly see how these vehicles performed and compared.”

2016 Ford F-150 5.0L
“We did not expect the 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L to win its class like its EcoBoost predecessor did in 2015, but it did so impressively. Our fans demanded we test this model and our test results were outstanding. As half-ton packages go, the 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L blew us away.

The entire TFLtruck crew agreed that the 2016 Ram 2500 Power Wagon is the best off-road truck in the land.”
