- [Narrator] Squatted truck for one year
or Honda Ridgeline for 10 years?
(laughter)
- I'll take the Ridgeline
- You're going to take the Ridgeline?
- I can't do a squatted truck.
- Oh man.
- No way.
Cause at least you could lift the Ridgeline.
There is lift kit out there for the Ridgeline.
- Yeah, that's fair.
Oh man.
Yeah. I might have to do the same.
I'm going to have to go with the Ridgeline.
You make a good point that you, you could still
modify your Ridgeline and it wouldn't be crazy squatted.
- I mean, even though it is a Honda, it's a truck.
You know? I just can't do the squatted.
- You can't do the squatted?
- Not, not the
- Not the crazy.
- Yeah.
- Obviously if it's a
if depending on the squatted, you look
at a lot of the, the race trucks, they are they're squatted
but naturally what people are doing in the marketplace.
No way.
- Yeah (laughs)
- No, no, no, no, no, hell no
- [Narrator] Built gladiator
or built new Bronco?
- Oh
- Oh, that's a hard one.
- Well, right now I'm driving Gladiator.
We got the Road Armor Gladiator outside.
- [Lawson] I saw that thing out there. That thing is insane.
- [Mike] It's supercharged.
It is, it is nice.
It's got a it's fully decked out in Road Armor of course.
It does have a
the Falcon shocks on it, but I'm, eyeing the new Bronco.
I think Bronco has a serious chance to
tear into some of the Jeep sales.
So I'm gonna say Bronco.
- I'm gonna go Gladiator.
And it's funny because I was driving to lunch
and we drove past the Gladiator that you have up here.
And my girlfriend has wanted a Gladiator
for so long and she's like freaking out
because she wants one.
♪ Don't care how I want it now. ♪
- [Lawson] And we've actually been looking at
getting a Gladiator just for a daily.
Obviously our winters get a little crazy up here.
So,if my truck and storage would be cool to have a Gladiator
you know take to the snow and everything like that.
And once I saw that thing all decked up, they look insane.
- But
- Yeah, the Gladiators definitely have to be lifted.
Plain Jane Gladiator, no.
- Yeah
- But I, I could go either way
but I definitely want to, I want
I want one of the new Broncos.
- Yeah, they're crazy.
- Give it to me.
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
- [Narrator] V6 straight pipe
or diesel stock?
- Diesel stock.
- Yeah, diesel stock.
(laughing)
- V6 straight pipe. Oh no, I don't even want to picture it.
- No.
- I can already hear the annoying-ness of it, just Oh
(loud motor engine)
- No. God, please, no.
- Diesel's don't sound bad stock at all.
- No
- Obviously, I would take like tune deleted and everything
but that's another day.
- Beats a V6 straight pipe.
- [Narrator] 600 horsepower 7.3
or 400 horsepower 5.9?
- Hmm that's a toss up. - (laughing)
- 5.9
- Why?
- [Mike] I don't know something speaks to me about the 5.9.
- [Lawson] Yeah.
- It's a tough one.
- It is.
Why couldn't it be 6.7, C'mon
- Come on, man.
- I'm gonna go opposite.
I'm just going to say 7.3.
Just to be a devil's advocate.
I know 600 is a lot of ponies, but
- I mean you're a fan of one
or you're a fan of the other. That's pretty much.
- Yeah.
- Alrighty then.
- [Narrator] Stick
or automatic?
- Hmm. Depends on which vehicle.
- Yeah
- [Mike] Definitely a daily driver automatic.
- [Lawson] Yeah.
- [Mike] Something fun from anywhere from, you know
street performance to off road.
Definitely manual.
- It's funny.
Cause I came from my eval before this, so I got
I love driving manual, like you said
and something fun. But, to be able to hop
in my truck and just drive automatic, you know, it's
it's been extremely nice.
So, I'd probably have to say something similar.
- Yeah. You can have fun
with a bone stock beater that's manual.
But at the end of the day
the reliability, comfortability and like just
the overall I'd rather have automatic for my everyday life.
But yeah, if I was
if I was going to have like a sick race truck
or off-road machine, definitely.
- I mean me being on the road constantly.
There's no way.
- Yeah.
- I'd definitely need automatic.
- You would have calves of steel.
- Yep.
- I'm going to unleash my calves.
- [Narrator] 2021 Ford F-350 Lariat Tremor
or 2021 Ram 2500 Limited?
- This is easy for me.
♪ Damn it feels good to be a gangster. ♪
- [Mike] I don't know.
We do have a company for 350, F-350
and F-450.
- Dang.
- The F-450 is an amazing rig.
We took it down to Lifted Truck Nationals this past fall.
But I'm going to stick with the Ram.
I really like the new look of that new truck.
- [Lawson] Yeah, absolutely.
I think they look sharp, but at the end of the day
I've been chasing a 17 plus Super Duty for a long time.
It's been my, I got my eyes set on my goal
and then maybe I'm a little biased to this question.
But I'm going Super Duty.
- [Narrator] Polished
or brushed Chrome?
- Polished.
- Can I say neither? (laughing)
- Neither?
- What, what, what!
- Just kidding.
- Oh no.
- I am not a chrome fan.
Rust aluminum, polished aluminum
Back in the day, when, back when I worked at Weld Racing
long time ago with their custom VR and XR wheels.
And Evos, that was
that was a look. Today's chrome, you know?
Eh.
- Yeah.
- I would say brushed.
- [Narrator] Dually SEMA truck
or single wheel SEMA truck?
- Dually.
- Woohoo!
Lift or lowered though?
- I'm gonna go Dually, as well.
And I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna go lowered.
- I think they both look good.
- They do.
I don't know if they
get too tall, they get a little too much.
- Our 450 is a little too tall.
- Yeah.
- It gets a little too much, especially parking.
- That's a lot of truck.
- But again, if it's lowered
it's still a lot of truck.
You know what?
There's nothing better looking than a lowered slam dually.
- [Lawson] Yeah, absolutely.
- [Mike] So, I'm gonna go lowered.
(game show music)
- [Narrator] Would you rather have your favorite TV show
have a bad ending
or get canceled on a cliffhanger?
- Okay. So let's think back to one of the
what was the show on HBO that everybody got lift
with a cliffhanger and it was a bad ending at both.
(heart beating)
(door closing)
(beep)
- You didn't see that coming?
(laughing)
- Sopranos. I mean, come on
you can't do that to your crowd.
I'd rather have a bad ending.
Not a cliffhanger.
- [Lawson] Yeah.
- But they did kind of both.
- Yeah.
- So definitely bad ending for me.
- I'd probably say bad ending as well
just because bad ending, yeah,
It might sting that night,
but after that, you're like I finished it.
It is what it is.
Cliffhanger, you're going to be thinking about it
for awhile and it's going to drive you nuts.
And then you have like false hope of them coming
out with another episode and then they never do.
And it's just too much to handle, you know
if it's your favorite TV show.
So I would say bad ending for sure.
Already guys.
That's what we got for you guys
on today's episode of this or that.
Mike, thank you for stopping by
and hopping in this video with me.
It was a ton of fun.
It's always fun to pick brains of other people
especially someone who's been
in the market for as long as you have.
- Yup.
- So thank you.
I appreciate it.
