- Diesel Power Challenge 2018 Presented by XDP’s 9 reader-selected contenders compete in an event designed to assess each driver’s skill. On the cone course, the spotlight shifts from a truck’s go-fast prowess to the driver’s ability to navigate a CDL-style training circuit while maneuvering with an 11,500-pound tractor-carrying trailer in tow. Completing the course with the quickest time can help a driver inch closer to claiming the overall DPC title. #DieselPowerChallenge
Starting October 8, 2018 exclusively on the Motor Trend CZcams Channel, host Alan Reinhart takes you through our weeklong torture test that features 6 competitive segments, 9 trucks, and 20,522.3 combined horsepower and torque at the rear wheels. We push Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke-powered trucks well beyond their limits in this search for the ultimate street-legal diesel truck and driver.
Subscribe now to make sure you're in on all the action!
Favourite challenge of the series, really separates drivers from buyers.
bunch of wanna b truck drivas
Or builders. They don't necessarily have to have bought their rigs
"Look at me in muh big diesel truck!! Im a trucker!" Hook a trailer up and suddenly most of these guys are your average skid mark behind the wheel.
I feel like these drivers are the idiots who spend half an hour clogging up the boat ramp
@@red91sitoriginal hey everyone starts somewhere, but I swear anytime the boat ramp is busy, every guy forgot how to keep calm and walk a trailer back
I was going to be a truck driver but I didn't think I could handle the operation to have half my brain removed 🤣
The guy in the mega cab 🤦♂️😂 Those state trooper Tahoes already so low that thing was definitely maxed out. That was the best part and you guys run the credits over it 🖕
Taxpayers doesn't appreciated it when a cop did that.
What was his time?? Seriously, I wanna know!
Kyle Rokitjanski, the guy in the mega cab just eats buckets of fried chicken all day, sits on the couch and watches TV 14HRS a day
lmao I knew it 90% of these parking lot princesses do nothing but roll coal and dyno runs
Oscar Ogg don’t forget they won’t even know how to back a trailer without looking like a snake.
Don't like how they had it laid out this year was better previous
Wow only a couple guys even grasp the idea of trailer maneuvering... 😨
Sergeant Speed isn’t it sad !! . I couldn’t even watch it
@@randytrevor3935 it was nearly rage enducing.
The excitement is killing me! So much action it is just overwhelming!
I see what you did there
Don't be getting salty Josh lol
@@taterhater2086 lol you stalking me?
what was the cop's time though ???
Can't actually show that he did well.
instead of cones they used krispy kremes that way if he hits one he cries
@Robert Parsonson plus 4 cones...
3:06 + 5 cones so 3:56
What's with all the question marks?
lets see how many get disqualified before they even start. "well he has white paint and the rules for this competition say summer colors only so he is disqualified"
George Costanza u again, shouldn't u be at vandalay industries importing something
the big guy does not know how to drive his truck
says the guy that *does not know how to spell.
Dose he now?😂
you dose not know how to spell
Never said i could do it
He heard there were free donuts and missed his turn
They have make this event so tight and slow its boring to watch. When I was in DPC it looked like way more fun and not so technical. Being able to accelerate and not idle around the course sounds better.
Wow that was painful to watch.
This is still more fun to watch than a modern Formula 1 race.
Navigating around the cones reminds me of the original Driver Playstation game. Smash them up lol.
Shittiest Diesel Power Challenge has been this one! Way to go MT
Im surprised they didn't make it an on demand only
Bottomlands i guess thats why.
@@connorlongtin5865 Wait till next year...
People that are Dyno Queens and don't know how to tow and drive there trucks isn't motortrends fault
@@mattmopar440 its mt's fault for not giving a chance for these guys to figure out how to drag race rather than one shot bullshit.
I really enjoyed this challenge. The bonus was the trooper trying at the end. it looked like a lot of fun.
I definitely prefer brian lohnes for the announcer and where is the time for the cop?
Nate Griewisch agreed, Brian is way more lively
@@kentogreeno and he knows it's a cummins not a cummings 😂
Nate Griewisch agreed
I'm a little out of practice, but give me a few days of wheel time to train and get back into my groove and I'm pretty sure I could destroy most of these guys on the trailer maneuvering part. If you pull a trailer a lot with a long wheelbase truck like these, you get used to the idea that you have to swing it really wide around the tight corners. Only a couple of these guys seemed to know how to get that done. It's not to mention that backing a trailer straight on flat paved ground isn't all that hard if you do it with any regularity. All that power doesn't help you when you need to quickly back a trailer up in heavy traffic with no one spotting or directing traffic for you. Many of these guys obviously have never used these trucks for anything but showing off. They should sell them and go buy a Mustang or Camaro, save themselves a bunch of money and go way faster.
Anyone notice they have a oversized load sign on the white freightliner they brought the trailer in with lmao. Super trucker status
The one guy with a manual and he cant drive it. That G56 has a 6.29 or 5.94 first gear for towing heavy loads, use it.
That old Ford with the 5.9 stole the show! (I know the D-Max won but still)
The driver won, not the truck.
Greg Yes I know, but the truck looks badass too!(-:
@@CarswithNash Yes, how could anyone not like it. Really hard trucks to find that are even rebuildable let alone as far as he went with it. He did a great job.
All this challenge showed us is these guys should not be allowed to haul a trailer on a public road. That was hard to watch. No wide turns, Over correcting like crazy. These are the type of idiot who rip the side off someone’s car in traffic. Stick to the dyno and drag strip smh 🤦♂️
Hey who knows, maybe if they stick to the dyno and drag strip they can actually learn how to properly stage and race. I'm not sure whether the drag race or this was worse but this whole power challenge has been a massive cringe fest.
Anyone who pulls a trailer daily appreciates this challenge....
Remember people...this isn't a serious or legit showcase of the diesel truck competition world. It's one big product placement ad filled with dyno queens at this point... Try not to take this silliness too seriously.
I can back an 80' long peice of farm equipment with two implements behind into a shop door from a 90° faster than most these guys can spool their truck! let alone back a 100' straight line! Also half these guys just had a revelation that tow mirrors actually have a purpose😂
It would be easier with a longer trailer then this little guy, but I'm sure you knew that lmao
A big high five to the Colorado St Troopers having fun with the truck guys!
And two big thumbs up for the State Troopers completely showing up these idiots in 3/4 and one ton pickups with a gas SUV lmao
This was honestly the least exciting cone course I've seen noone gave it any balls on the course. I would think maybe the trailer was too heavy but if the Tahoe can do it it's not that bad just boring
I think it's due to the layout of the course. There aren't any straight parts where they can get the turbos spooled up. Constantly having to make sharp turns. This was hands down the shittiest year
I loved seeing that State Trooper Tahoe squatting with that 11k trailer on it. Lol. Good run though.
I'd love to watch these guys maneuver a 53 foot back into a 90 degree turn in Chicago. Now that's tight.
I second that. When all lanes are my lane to make my turn.
Bunch of swift drivers on our hands here :)
Lmao. I was thinking the same thing. These dudes get diesels to look cool. They clearly don't haul enough to need them
@@mattmopar440 my thoughts exactly. Lol I drive tighter courses in my KW
lmao shut up
That't not that long nor that heavy of a trailer. Wish I could have been there to give it a go in my truck.
l think it's a 10,000 pound loud on there. but that shouldn't be a problem for these trucks. aren't they all 1 ton trucks?
@@ElectronicsForFun They say the total weight is 11,500 lbs at the beginning. 0:08 The trucks are all 2500 or 3500 rigs and they shouldn't have an issue with way more than that trailer.
I’d give her a go in the old 1st gen Cummins
did you guys notice the suv having no problems moving it? a 1984 s10 4 cylinder could move that around a parking lot
They need to bring back the short straight away on the trailer challenge, get rid of that announcer, and have 3 Chevy 3 dodges 3 fords and the returning champ again wtf is with this line up this year?
Need to have them back a haywagon. With 2 pivot points it’s truly an art.
Yeah I've never heard of anyone backing any tandem trailer set up, all I am told is you don't back it up
New challenge idea! . Give these guys a trailer and let them tow it threw the city and see how many curbs and cars they can hit in a five mile span Ahahaha !
This test should yield 3 times the points of the other tests. If you have a truck, you oughta be able to drive it.
Old military plane tug truck be a secret weapon for this whole series ;)
Wow almost nobody can drive.... guess they proves the point that they don’t actually use there trucks for work. Just posers
FishFind3000 they dont work for a living, just look at what they drive, its a 80k truck, boss' kid type stuff
@@barisozkan9605 or they work for a living in which they dont have to drive these trash piles back and forth to work every day. A real job such as electrical work, or pipeline welding.
pipeline welding? a real job?? yeah, a real crappy dangerous job
Who cares? Obviously you're a pro if you're making that kind of comment but yet YOU weren't there...
All of our dads: I could do this in half the time with a Ranger.
looks like none of these guys have ever towed anything in there lives lmao. road queens.
neither have you
@@pimpvan2.0thetransit6 I have :)
Eric it’s all about the dyno dyno dyno, these guys never drive there trucks in real life situations, these trucks live and die on the dyno, sad life for a Diesel truck
@@smellinlady6618 pretty much. Everyone loves the power but the practicality of using a 1000 hp truck for a Dd or work truck isnt there.
Trailer queens!
cut my teeth with a dodge 3500 and 30ft gooseneck. back that 500m through the parking lot of a home depot parking lot hahah. honestly some of the best turning radius of a 1 ton that I have driven since.
This event was in June! Took your video team this long to create the videos?
And couldn't even throw a clock up for a timed event.
Motor trend doesn't do much for their CZcams side with long videos. They could be making it better than it currently is
Trooper time: assuming the video is cut together with proper timing, it looked like the trooper made it in about 3 minutes 8 seconds with 5 cones that I saw for a total of just under 4 minutes. Not the worst run, but not too terrible for obviously not taking it very seriously.
I understand the need to change the course, but this one was too tight in many spots, it was much more fun to watch people at wide open throttle throwing it around the course. I had to watch at 2x speed just to make it through this 5mph course
That looks to be a bit to much weight for that troopers SUV. 27:51
Do yourself a favor and watch it in 1.50 speed.
The state troopers were over gvwr they might want to fix them selves 😂 LoL jm but great video mt
Love these challenges
27:45 for the State Trooper run.
A manual trans and 4 low lockout would’ve killed this round
Really wanted to know what time the trooper ran.
Driver side brake light on the trailer is out....
Think it's a fuse on that truck, it was the only time I saw it out.
( That's my guess because I had been dealing with a trailer light issue for like 2 weeks only to find out It was a fuse.) lol
Yeah it was only out on the champagne colored duramax, most of the trucks must not have even hooked up for lights... glad you got your lighting issue figured out 👍
my poor old gas 6.0 is laughing at this!
I don't care how many cones that cop knocks over, hes awesome!
They cut off the troopers run and I thought that was the best one!!!
I like cones too especially when they have cookie dough ice cream in them.
Someone no doubt said this but...why were the clones NOT reset after each run???
Megustaria participar en se tipo de evento sólo que para mi lo más difícil seri el retroceso unca e retrocedido esa distancia
Where do I get me one of these trailers
Beautiful 78-79 ford
Love that truck! 👍🇺🇸
Love watching this videos
makes sense the guy from Idaho wins this competition
As the host said that long trailer. How bout a 50ft wedge trailer that's a long trailer. The host is just dull and don't know anything
That trailer will react quick so it’s not easy to back up if you don’t know what your doing. I’m a truck driver and I can tell you from experience that a 53 foot tractor trailer is almost easier to back up then these. But clearly these idiots don’t have a clue how to pull a trailer let alone back one up lol 🤦♂️
Very true. I would much rather back a big trailer than a short one any day of the week
You don’t know anything clearly the longer the trailer the easier it is to back dumbass 😂😂
Am I the only one who dislikes the host???
TheManInBlack he's not bad.. We just would rather have the other guy lol
@@ec7945 i find me very annoying😂but it's whatever
Nope
TheManInBlack good things never last forever
I'm with you. It's like he's rooting against the participants and asking biased questions. He's trying too hard to create drama. He has ruined it for me.
hehe quick question,2nd Gen Hemi/ 2nd Gen Cummins?
Boy that Tahoe was squattin like a lowrider
How about the do a all types of drivers.?
When you can drive a semi you can drive anything. I personally dislike backing the single axle landscape trailers.
Guy with mega cab: get a cummins add power just about kill it off the line and take out half the cones😂
Game Bred Duramax lol I guess!
I love diesel trucks but I think gassers could do just as good if not beat thesse coal rolling dudes, if you have major skills you can ace this with any pick up truck
Or any skills at all. All besides two or three of these posers clearly had absolutely no clue what they were doing. It's honestly so pathetic it's a bit comical.
My 2017 Ford Super Duty F 250 XLT supercab 6.2 Gasser 385Hp/430TQ would handle all that no sweat! Had it loaded with 7k in cement bags no problems in the bed mind u😉
Why do you think they rolled the credits over the state trooper? I bet he posted a time 30 seconds faster than the "winner" of the competition
Exactly! You can see clearly he had already bested everyone by 5-10 seconds just by the time they rolled credits over the top of him, in a little SUV with a quarter the power of these trucks, and about 2 feet narrower messing up the reverse viewing angle!
Joe V True! I have a chevy3500 6.5 TD, its a dinosaur at best 250hp. It looks like its the first time these guys backed up a trailer
That’s pretty cool to let the state trooper do the cone course.
He's got cop brakes, cop suspension, cop shocks- and it still squats that low. Wonder how an explorer would do? lol
looks like most of these guys dont haul with trailers too often lol
i bet most of em dont take their trucks down a dirt road either
so no time list breakdown
no cop time
plus everyone seems to not use their trucks or know them. cant back up a trailer, cant launch them, n cant even seem to drive them
Megacab guy hasn't ever pulled a trailer in his life lol
The trooper its smashing cones !
Imagine hearing the trucks instead of dude telling us its a left turn.
I wonder if someone with a stock 2.8 Duramax Colorado could destroy this event. Would be way down on power, but extremely nimble with a wheelbase like a Miata compared to these things. Would likely be over the GVWR but it's not on a public road so it doesn't matter. Would also dominate fuel economy challenge... Okay, I'm calling it, troll with a stock Chevy Colorado gets podium finish next year.
That cop smoked everyone 100% XD
Did last year’s winner participate like usual?
Why oh why? I was hoping they'd get a new announcer..
This guy is terrible.
Trooper Time?
I use to do this with a 915A3 & a 40ft trl. Same system too
"You need a little finesse." More like alot of finesse lol but it's the thought that counts.
whats with the cone counts. that red dodge hit way more then five
The green ford had the best run....
What was the staties time?????
That blind side back up would mess me up. I like to put my head out the window.
That trailer was heavy for that Tahoe, but it got it done.
They know this event gonna happen why they dont pratice it at home?
Where's the guy with the white Dodge from last year.
I would have ran over a few camera men
This is bad !! The guy who won back to back 3/4 years ago in the white Cummins would destroy everyone here
This was like watching paint dry... wish I could give it a try just to see how bad they really were. P.s. new host isn’t great
Last years course was way better. Better drivers too.
I cant help it, I would think that a guy with a mildly modified daily driver that knows how to drive would fair pretty good in this competition.
I think that trooper had like 60 seconds in penalties
I know that State Trooper wanted to give citations to everybody's time he beat lolll
WHERE IS 6 LITER KEETER?????
Most of these dudes should be driving a camry. Perfect examples of money replacing skill or knowledge just a bunch of turkeys.
I’d really like to say that’s your tax dollars at work, but it’s awesome that the trooper is out having some fun here. He’s just s good at it as the guys in the contest. That’s good PR for law enforcement really.
Please don't bring this announcer back.
Don't see no diesel challenge here. This could be done with an old ford with a 300 six and get the same result.
should've been 5 second penalty for hitting a cone tbf
George Evagora that's what I said
Dave Micolichek that makes one of you. Recklessness is funner to watch
nah, hitting anything with a trailer can be devastating. so they wanted to recreate that anxiety with the cones
What finesse? If there was finesse or skill in ANY of these I sure missed it.
At the end of the day all the participants were there with the intentions to finesse this course. Having a 5 second penalty would've shortened the gap between first and last allowing different results whish might have been more exciting?
