Is Driving An American Pick-Up In The UK A Stupid Idea?

- čas přidán 2. 04. 2024
- Does living with a gigantic Ford F-250 make sense in the UK? Alex seems to think so, but Matt, not so much. To find out who’s right, the pair are taking the pick-up on a day out.
Join them for an adventure in the audacious old-school pick-up, and come across a few obstacles the F-250 would never have dealt with daily in its homeland along the way. Can it manage?

not doing an introduction video for the new hosts was a big mistake
They do introduce themselves at the start of the last video probably didn’t think they needed to make a whole video about it
yoiu must be new here if you don't know ctmatt
Had the same thought. Would have been an attention grabbing video too and taken the edge off this transition.
Looking forward to following the OGs over on TDC & AA tho. They deserve their creative freedom away from the corporate grind at CT
@@123cnt The fact that people don't know who anyone is means they probably should have introduced them. This isn't an exclusive members-only club, it's a CZcams channel.
Like someone else said, not doing an intro for these guys is a massive disservice to them.
Personally, I don’t mind them, but it’s an uphill battle with the viewer base when you’ve replaced Jack and Ethan. Not introducing them and not explaining what’s happened is a sure fire way to lose almost all of the original viewer base.
As a fanbase, this is officially the end of an era.😢
Agreed, it's a shame ngl
100% fax
Amen
They should have just started another channel honestly this is like old top gear ending. Even small channels like Epic Car Show are putting out better cheap car challenges etc not to mention auto Alex and TDC 🤦♀️
@FredMitchell95 I agree with you but due to the company owning the name and having that many subscribers. It's not really a point in it as the company itself is still making alot of money through older videos and still getting some views on the newer videos but not near as much. They are going to fail, most of the subscribers have been here got along time. I have been watching for 8+ years. I'm not watching now, no point
Car throttle really has gone down the shitter. Can't stand it anymore. No hate to the presenters but all the hate to the accountants and the owners
Nice to see people acknowledging it's not these guys but the people behind the scenes absolutely screwing up what was once a brilliant channel I couldn't wait to see the next upload for
I enjoyed it.
The channel went downhill when Alex left because he's the only one who actually knew about cars and was capable of working. The guys he left the channel to don't know fuckall about cars and can barely manage turning a wrench. No idea who these new clowns are, they also seem to not know fuckall. This channels dead because Alex WAS Car Throttle and it died when he left... it should have been left as a 'project' or an era... they dig the legacy into the dirt further each time they upload a new video.
@@stustockwell I disagree and agree. The channel died once Alex left but Edwin Jack and Ethan picked up the pieces and made it work. Now it's actually dead
💯💯💯💯
"Mum can we have CarThrottle?"
"We have CarThrottle at home"
The CarThrottle at home:
😂 I was waiting for this
That doesn't even make sense
Note to management- give these guys a budget if you want them to succeed under exodus conditions!
Absolutely! Looks like they're just going to recycle ideas from years ago
Exactly, not giving these guys a budget to buy cars and do up cars is like a restaurant that doesn’t serve food, only drinks
@@SunSecurity So a bar?
End of an era. Bye car throttle. You guys seem really nice but not what I've been subscribed for so long for.
Honestly these guys dont seem bad its just not the same is it
Yeah honestly, willing to give these guys a chance. People are too harsh on these two, the hosts aren't to blame on the company that owns CT.
Wish we were introduced to them instead of the 100th video vibe
Unsubscribe 🎉 Party
New phone, who dis
Bro 😂😂😂😂😂
😆😆😆
Where’s Jack and Ethan????
Soon to be on auto Alex these two are the new presenters of car throttle
Have you been living under a rock for the past few months? 😂
Everyone has left Car Throttle and has since started their own projects, rumoured that Jack and Ethan are to be joining AutoAlex Cars and TopDeadCentre shortly
because this channel has new owners?
@muhammadg8589 I believe it's new owners now.
Who the fuck are these guys!?
init
Well Matt has been around CT for ages so you must be REALLY inattentive if you don't know who he is.
I know! No introduction. Just waited a month. And gave us whatever the hell this is. Off to Auto Alex
@@timorgano Believe it or not bud, most people don't have the time to watch ALL of a channels videos.
Jack and Ethan?
April Fools was 2 days ago
Management making hosts pay for gas on a car review show is crazy 😂
He obviously didn’t pay ….. 😂 have you heard of a company credit card?
@@user-hb5jc4st7d wouldn't be too sure with what we've heard about CT management recently.
As much as I respect you guys for trying. As others have said this isnt what we subscribed for.
Good luck for the future.
I think they guys deserve a bit more respect, and when Ethan and Jack turn up on Autoalex, we will have another channel to enjoy. Nothing is being taken here, it's net positive and these two are doing a great job imo.
You can tell the owners are putting zero money into this channel but probably expect miracles, fair play to these lads for making the best of what they got, but the channel needs better owners
I like these guys, obviously its not their fault for the situation. An introduction should have been made though, its not like we weren't going to notice the change. I'll stay subscribed.
Chris Evans era top gear vibes
Hey now, woah. Let's not say things we can't take back.
It’s been a pleasure car throttle, good luck with your future endeavours
Man no Jack and Ethan is a shame, sure there will be fans for this, but not me, I want old car throttle back
Go over to auto Alex then, top dead centre is their sister channel that has Edwin in it, and Alex has been hinting for ages that Jack and Ethan are coming on board even saying on his podcast, think of what's happening over at car throttle as a divorce and I got custody of all the kids, he's also had a selfie on his story lately with two hooded figures covering their faces but their hair/beards from what you can see look very much like it's Ethan and Jack, also, on another one of his stories he had written inside a dashboard (that looked very much like a certain silver Octavia) looking forward to employing you with someone who sounded identical to Ethan abruptly saying "stop that!"
It's a coming, just give it time
Where's Jack and Ethan
Coming soon to auto alex and/or top dead centre
There joining autoalex
@@jessphiz4634is this confirmed or still fan speculation?
@@Mb47836it’s been hinted at heavily but nothing is confirmed yet so just speculation atm
respect to you guys, as a long time fan of previous car throttle i will still pay my respect to you guys as your doing a great job its just who you work for that i hate, no matter how much i prefer the other channels
What are you talking about?
@@SniffiestHalo1 geussing you havent watched ct for long
@@smashabocks17 no not really, just found this video
@@SniffiestHalo1 basically the original presenters of this channel have been semi forced out by the owners of the channel by Thier ridiculous budgets and rules, so now that the last 2 presenters have left to follow the others and make their own channel and people are really mad that 10+ years of hard work has been ruined by big companies constantly buying out the channel and giving shit restrictions
@@SniffiestHalo1 so these people are new and people only followed the channel due to the presents, it was basically what a lot of people thought that be top gear
Maybe it'll take time. But it just doesn't feel natural with these two lads yet. The magical spark between Alex and then Jack and Ethan and Edwin is how it all seemed natural and not just a bad TV production.
This has that bad TV production feeling rather than 2 lads talking about a old F250 in the UK, a mega cool video idea
I think the problem is that they were all mates, whereas (and im assuming here...) Matt is Alex's boss so they will NEVER have that same dynamic.
It's clearly a corporate decision to have a 10 min video and they're forced to put as much content as possible in it. It's making the videos very cut up
It’s been 2 videos. Do you honestly expect they will have the same on screen relationship as guys who have worked with each other for 10 years…
Don't see what everyone is complaining about, it's not that bad.. they do need an introduction though
As an American that owns the long bed version of a 7.3 I cannot imagine driving it anywhere in Europe.
It's the same size as a Mercedes Sprinter and those fit our roads
@@sys-administrator true but the sprinter can turn on a dime like any Mercedes. US trucks have a turning ability that makes semis look nimble.
The LWB sprinters certainly dont turn on a dime. You turn the wheel to full lock and nothing happens 😂 The MWB ones are far more manoeuvrable
@@morganwin350 "Like any Mercedes." The G-Wagen certainly can't turn on a dime and don't forget the Unimog whose turning circle is similar to that of a large freighter.
@@tbr2109 if we go with how many feet it takes for the vehicle to drive in a circle it looks like the G wagon needs 44ft, the Unimog needs 53ft. My F350 needs 60ft. For a non truck comparison a new E class needs 36.5ft.
RIP CarThrottle.
Why?
Who frick are these two 😂😂😂😂
watch the video before this one the guys have more of an intro for it and it seems ethan and jack are now off to greener pastures
Everyone is like "this is the end of Car Throttle" and "where are Jack and Ethan?". However, I think we should give these guys a chance to show us what they can create for us!
How much is car throttle paying you to say this?
@@Stealth360stealth he's going to be the next presenter when these 2 leave 😂
Okay, but who the fuck is Evan.
Glowing
@@RyanShiels That doesn't mean what you think it means.
Ethan and Jack made car throttle. Who are these new guys? No intro or goodbye
And Alex equally if not more before he started AutoAlex
Ethan and Jack just walked off like Edwin because they were told no new cars could be bought, hence the last video that revisited and old volvom
Im trying to like it....... But struggling 😂😅
Its funny how all these "die hard" fans took 2 videos to notice the old guys left.
Hahaha too true!
Some of that can be down to CZcams algorithm though as auto Alex constantly pops up but CT less so. I only saw the video of these 2 with the Honda's because I looked for the channel as noticed not seen a video for a while.
How about we give these two guys a chance?
I also owned a F250 with the 7.3 powerstroke. Great for my work, being a contractor and working on a farm. Okay mpg for what it is, but was amazingly reliable for me.
Probably the last good Ford trucks even tho those years they took a page out of Dodge when it came down to rust proofing
@@mattmopar440 completely agree. Also the last best Ford sedan is probably the Panther Platform. I had a Crown Vic too. Man, it was a great car.
I dont usually bother commenting on socials, but I hope this message reaches the presenters, as I see you're getting too much slack for nothing. I feel that everytime someone leaves and goes on to eventually do their own thing, is just a plus for us viewers as we get more and more options to watch and enjoy. You guys stepped in and are doing great, the F250 is a fresh idea in terms of UK CZcams and I don't get why you should get the slack just because of whatever decisions the board takes. Keep going, keep ignoring those unnecessarily negative comments and you'll soon establish yourselves.
P.S. If you don't know who Matt is, go back to CocoMelon
I just wrote a shit version of your comment above :) I totally agree
Lots of comments regarding unsubscribing ...... be interesting to see if the current 3.14M actually drops.
As of today it's down from 3.14 to 3.13 so it's happening
Its 3.12 now
@tramlink8544 very slowly but it's dropping
Great content actually. Keep up the spirits👍
its not too bad guys. the old hosts are onto another channel. I'm staying subbed as I was entertained.
Thanks to the o.g. CT staff, this has been awesome but ive jumped ship with you.
People moaning about new presenters, I'm just excited to see a video starring Hank Hill's truck! Although his was an extended rather than a crewcab
And a ford ranger pretty sure. But now I can’t unsee this as a hill mobile lol
@@cuuntreeboyhe also had an f250 iirc
@@edgiestofcars yeah they retconned his Ranger in the episode ‘Chasing Bobby’ to be an 80s one, which is on its last legs, and subsequently gets replaced by a new (for 1999) F250
well we shall see how long until the new owners budget runs out, different for sure but better than nothing I guess. Hopefully Jack and Ethan turn up somewhere eventually
Good luck lads. Not easy winning over a fan base but I’m liking the ideas so far.
It hurts, but life has to move on...
Goodbye CarThrottle... 😢
Give them a chance to find their humour and presenting style. It still gives us content for free
The UK gallon is bigger than the US gallon so it's probably more like 15 mpg, but I have seen those diesels get around 20 mpg on what you call a motorway.
Also, If you daily drove it you would get used to it's size, and when you get in a normal sized car again you would miss that secure feeling that unless hit by a Lorrie you would survive almost any crash.
RIP Car Throttle. YOU DESERVE IT 👏
No jack???
Comments, please consider this, these guys are doing a job they love too. They may or may not like working for the current owners but we can not direct the hate in the comments. This is where the new presenters will be looking for feedback and they don’t need to see this hate. If you genuinely are pissed with what’s happened over the last couple of years to a channel we all love, write an email to the owners or whoever you can who has CONTROL.
The new guys seem great, let’s give them a chance.
Also remember, as much as we don’t like how CarThrottle is being run, just look at the other channels and great content we now have because of it.
It's just 2 mates doing a video! But everyone is moving on nowadays. Who knows?
Again guys not a bad video. I used to live in Abingdon you will most probably make the local new as nothing else exciting happens in that place. I would love a train horn in my Volvo maybe some mods are needed😂. I am interested to see what is next for the old vs new, seems like a good route to go down 👍👍
if New Alex is a ex race car driver lets see him race, let the guy showcase what hes about and not what ever this is!!
Oh dear, it’s like a CZcams version of the Chris Evans Top Gear! Sorry, but…
Move to Devon and see how it fits in there!
Those new presenters are just amazing! I am sure that future videos will be great!
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a bot account are you? 😂
@@Cynical_Ninja It was a joke.
i didnt realise it was a car throttle video until after i had watched it
Good vid homies, who cares about Jack and Ethan, is not like they are dead 😂they’ll pop up on another CZcams channel no doubt.
yeah not typing a whole essay again. just good buy mates. and thanks car throttle for the years that were good.
Remember, don’t slag the the hosts. They’re trying and ofc you would take up the opportunity.
This channel went the way of Top Gear.
Jack and Ethan from Wish
The adverts was the best part about that video!
Loving you gentlemen as presenters, given all way we know about the management, I wish you the best of luck!
I'm really trying to give this a go. Hoping it'll get good soon.
Wow its come down to borrowing cars from friends now to review. Can't wait for Jack and Ethans new channel with Alex. These guys were good tho, nice job
Better than the first episode but it still felt like a "contractually obligated" one to me. Honestly, without a non-car guy on the team, this will be just like any car-centered channel
These guys aren't bad. The format is. No wonder Alex left.
can predict what all the comments are going to be parroting about. These guys seem to be doing well so far.
They are genuinely annoying. The guy literally said "I f*cking hate you" non ironically several times to his co-host. And this terrible laugh... God.
Let's just give them a chance
Dear lord, that Pick-up is as wide as my 12-ton Flatbed.
As an American with a big pickup truck who recently visited Scotland for the first time.... yes.... driving a fullsize pickup truck on Scottish roads would have been a major blunder.
I have driven a f350 with the 7.3. Those engines are soild cast iron, so they are so heavy.
In America our McDonalds doesn’t serve those salads, that was hilarious to me! You have to show me what your menu looks like!!
Imagine jumping on a sinking ship... I feel bad for the presentors😅
From now on car throttle is a whole new channel, Ill give you guys a chance.
I didn't realize parking spots in the UK were so small 😂
yep, I find them too small even for normal sedan car. Almost no chance to get out without resting your door against car next to you.
@@kamilianos that's because they were designed in the 70s and never changed 😂and cars have gotten much much larger since the 70s
Imagine owning a channel like Car Throttle and absolutely binning it?
These 2 guy don’t have an uphill battle ahead of them… … they’re stuck staring up at a sheer cliff face.
Lads, you've inherited a tough situation here. But push through, I know this channel can be great again. Just don't take your eye of the main focus, fun car content for car people.
Autoalex, Ethan, Jack, Taylor and rest of the crew need to make CT a buyout offer if the current owner want this to succeed long term
Truck mirrors are so easy to use. Do you not use mirrors in the UK? Also no offroading or towing? What was the point?
I'm not going to hate on any new hosts, all this means is that we get more and more content of this theme. We don't need to get into one camp and hate the others.
That said, has Jack had a fiery car crash again or something?
@@ryansoper no he'll just be joining AutoAlex any day now
If you watch traffic around them, they're just as big as any other van and SUV. Take out the wheel spacers and it would fit perfectly.
When did you 2 pass you're test? because if it was after Jan 1997 you can not drive this with out a extra test
Not hating but this isn’t the channel I subscribed for.
Farewell Carthrottle and thank you for all the fish. Do we have any updates on Ethan and Jack, where they will be going?
You’ve really topgear’d it.
Good luck chaps!
When did they switch presenters? I was looking forward to this video
I was giving this a fair chance. I was thinking 3 videos, but 2 videos in and it's just trash 😢
It’s different but not bad. Good luck with it guys!
So basically it's a lorry that can't haul as much.
Actually, the new big American 1-ton pickups have a towing capacity in excess of 30,000lbs when spec'd out. That's enough to require a big rig (lorry) license here in the states...
Feels like AliExpress version of Jack and Ethan😂
Well atleast all the talent made new channels by car throttle
Never forget to warm up your indicators
Remember when the old top gear went and new top gear came in......yeah.
This feels like when top gear changed hosts, just doesn't feel the same
All good things must come to an end
So it’s not a car, it’s a conversation piece? But will every conversation be a good one and would you meet new and interesting people if you bought one? I don’t know, might need to shake things up a little, so many interesting questions unanswered…
Love being blinded when one of these are driving behind me.
Well, Jack and Ethan will show up at Alex's garage soon introducing their own channel...
Show seems to have lost its British character . Where are the boys?😮 It's like Top Gear being taken over by Chris Evans😢
I know this man didnt just call it Base pro shop
I know right! And the logo is literally a bass!! (Fish)!! Haha😂
Car throttle isn’t as good as the og days anymore with Ethan Alex and jack
Where is Jack and ethan
Who are these guys???😅😅😅😅
