- Trucks are big.
They're powerful.
And they can hold a ton of shrimp.
But rarely are you like dang dude, that is one fast truck.
Well, today you're in for a bit of a treat.
And I'm not talking about shrimp.
Today we're looking at some of the fastest trucks
of all time.
So hose out your tubs (beds?)
and strap on your real tree seat covers.
This is the D-list.

- Now this isn't a definitive list
of every single pickup truck okay.
That video would be a million hours long.
We made this list to show you guys
how bonkers trucks have become.
But first we got to know where we came from, right?
So we're gonna go back to the seventies
to the gram papa of fast trucks,
the Dodge lil red express.
We've talked about this truck on this show
a few times before and for good reason
it's the first fast production truck ever made.
And it was all thanks to a regulation loophole
during the oil embargo in the late 1970s.
At the time of its release, the little red express
was not only the fastest truck around.
It was the fastest production vehicle period.
And its zero to six time of 7.9 seconds
is still pretty fast for a truck this big.
It would be another 11 years until another truck
challenged the little red express.
As Omar from the Wire said,
when you come for the king, best not miss.
And then he whistled which I would do,
but I don't know how to whistle.
Chevy did not miss with the 1990 454 SS.
This performance bearing of the C 1500 halftone truck
had a massive 7.4 liter V8 that made 255 HRSPRS,
had Bilstein shocks and a front stabilizer bar
for improved handling.
And it could skew from zero to 60 in 7.1 seconds.
Now, just a few years after Chevy debuted
their first performance truck,
the blue oval came out
with their own high-performance truck.
The Lightning.
Ah!
Besides having a 5.8 liter V8 that made 240 horsepower.
The Lightning also handled pretty good
for a truck from the nineties,
and it maintained the same payload capacity as the F-150,
making it not only fast but useful as well.
And this boy went from zero to 60 in an astonishing,
record tying 7.1 seconds.
Fast.
Bout as fast as trucks could go back then.
But there is another truck from the nineties
that was way faster and far less practical.
I'm talking about the GMC Syclone with an S.
It debuted in 1991
and is probably the least functional truck on this list.
It had a payload capacity of 500 pounds
and the ability to tow maybe one hot dog cart.
But it didn't matter because it was faster
than a Lamborghini machine Diablo
and it only had half as many cylinders, six of them.
The Lamborghini machine Diablo had 12.
So just how fast was the Syclone with an S?
Well, it depends on who you ask,
but four out of five dentists agree
that the Syclone with an S hit zero to 60
in 4.3 seconds.
There it goes, straight to the top of the mono-list for now.
Fast forward 10 years.
It's the 2000s, baby.
We survived Y2K.
And we see another wave of fast trucks begin to emerge.
Chevy's contribution to this era of fast trucks
is the Silverado SS which stands for as we all know,
seriously sassy.
Six liter high output Vortec engine
could make 345 horsepower
and get this sassy little stud up to 60 in 6.4.
So not as fast as the Syclone with an S, but pretty fast.
The Silverado wasn't the fastest Chevy pickup of the 2000s.
Max threatened to sue me if I didn't include this next one.
Max, stop it.
Even when I kept saying Max this is not a truck,
it's a blobby Ute.
He sicked his team of top-notch lawyers on me
and I caved.
I can't afford it anymore Max.
Anyway, the Chevy SSR was an abomination of a vehicle
that came out at a time when every manufacturer was making
plastically retro looking things.
And while it's definitely not as functional or normal
as a Silverado, it is faster.
And it did come in purple.
So in 2005, you could get an SSR with an LS2 under the hood
which gives you a zero to 60 time of 5.5 seconds.
Probably the most iconic fast truck from this era
and possibly ever
is the second coming of the Ford SVT Lightning.
Ah!
This time around SVT dropped the supercharged 5.4 liter V8
and a good 360 horsepower,
a huge upgrade over the previous gen.
This performance truck also looked fast
with a lowered stance and a sweet body kit
with flared sides, just like my pants.
Oh, this boy was quick.
He went zero to 50 in 5.2.
Also, I'm trying to, I'm starting to see a trend.
So I'm just going to save myself some time,
make a little gap.
The Lightning only held fastest truck of the 2000s
for a couple of years
before a bigger, badder competitor came along.
One with as many cylinders as shrimp have legs.
Talking about the Dodge SRT-10
came out of nowhere in 2004.
Dodge went full Dodge and threw the V10
from the Viper into their redesigned Ram pickup.
Not only did it have 500 HRSPRS
Dodge also did a really cool thing
and put a six speed manual transmission in it.
I see.
It also came with front and rear spoilers and racing stripes
because duh.
Even though it weighed over 357 stone
the SRT-10 could scoot to zero to 60 miles per hour
in 4.9 seconds.
Still not as fast as the Syclone with an S
but it was an actual truck and not a cheater boy.
And in case you didn't figure it out, shrimp have 10 legs.
Max Googled it.
Just a year after this monstrosity
Dodge would be beaten by a different company
and their own truck.
Talking about the Hennessy Venom 800 TT SRT-10.
You might know Hennessy as the Texas based tuning company
that makes fast cars even faster.
I made an up to speed on it, check it out.
I'll put the link in the description.
But Hennessy also (bleeps) with trucks.
In 2005, they took the SRT-10, slapped two spinney boys
on the V10.
the turbskies bumped power up to 800
which helped this 5,400 pound beast get up to 60 in,
so close, 4.4 seconds.
And I know some of you guys
are at home or at work right now, probably on the toilet.
And you're saying James, Hennessey is an aftermarket company.
I thought you were just doing production trucks.
Well, guess what?
Hennessey builds brand new vehicles that you can buy
with a 36,000 mile warranty.
And that's why we're including them on the list.
Speaking of big spoilers, you're gonna see more Hennessy
on this list than the Notorious BIG's birthday party.
Apparently the algorithm is really favoring likes right now.
So if you could help me out and hit the like button
it'll get this video in front of more people.
That means more views.
That means more videos for you guys.
And with that, we're jumping into 2010.
Angry Birds was sweeping the nation,
Snooki was becoming a household name
and Ford was about to kick off a new era of fast trucks
with you guessed it, SVT Raptor.
This truck was supposed to be the third gen Lightning
until Ford decided to switch gears
and design it for off-road racing.
This is the new definition of bad-ass fast truck.
How fast was it?
It went zero to 60 in 6.2.
Even though this was Ford's flagship high performance truck,
it didn't take long for other trucks to catch up.
Just a year after the Raptor debuted
the Ford F-150 EcoBoost set an even faster zero to 60 time
of six seconds.
Now I know a lot of V8 dudes like to hate on the EcoBoost
but you can't argue with facts.
All right, facts don't care about your feelings.
Neither do zero to 60 times.
In fact, right now the EcoBoost V6
is the only engine you can even get in a Raptor.
Then Chevy released the Silverado High Country.
This wasn't even marketed as a fast truck.
It's a luxury truck.
It's got a fricking heated leather steering wheel.
This bad boy isn't even supposed to go fast,
zero to 60 5.7.
And because every truck is fast now
I'm just gonna rattle through them.
2015 Dodge 1500 R/T Hemi
is a 400 horsepower rear wheel drive only sport truck
came with 22 inch wheels.
Put down a zero to 60 time of 5.4 seconds.
Toyota Tundra supercharged TRD 4.4 seconds.
That's a whole second faster than the Dodge,
but still slower than the Syclone with an S
made more than 20 years later.
But the Syclone's days at the top were numbered.
Just like my list.
And that's because the Ford Raptor got faster.
My boy John Hennessy decided it still wasn't fast enough.
So he upgraded its DNA like a Jurassic Park scientist
and he gave us the Velociraptor.
2016, the Velociraptor 650
was a supercharged version of the F-150
that went zero to 60 in 4.9 seconds.
It's not bad, but still not good enough.
So in 2017, Hennessy gave us
the Velociraptor 600 twin turbo.
This was based on the second gen EcoBoost Raptor
and managed to squeak past the Syclone finally,
with a 4.2 second, zero to 60.
Boom, sorry Syclone with an S go back to the nineties
where Clarissa is still explaining it all.
But that ain't all because in 2019,
Velociraptor V8 replaced the EcoBoost V6
with a supercharged V8.
Good for zero to 60 time of 4.1 seconds.
Then Hen Hen dropped the Venom 775,
a coyote V8 F-150 with a 2.9 liter supercharger
bolted onto it.
The weight saved by not having the four wheel drive system
from the Raptor means this thing can scoop zero to 60
in four seconds flat.
Barely edging out the Hennessy F-150
is the Roush Nitemare,
a truck so bad-ass
they couldn't even spell nightmare, right?
This souped up F-150
also has a supercharged carry V8
hitting 60 in 3.9 seconds.
Guys, we're running out of room on the mono-list.
You know what else hits 60 in 3.9 seconds?
The Ram TRX.
They're calling this thing, the Raptor killer
and for good reason.
It's got fricking hell cat in it.
(truck engine revs)
I drove one.
It's pretty fast, very big car.
Speaking of hell cat, maybe you're a hell cat boy
but the Ram ain't your style.
Get yourself a Hennessy Maximus 1000.
The hell cat power Jeep gladiator
that goes zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds.
What's that?
You still want to go faster, what's wrong with you?
Okay, fine.
I got something for you over here.
It's called the Hennessy Venom 800.
If you're a math boy.
You might've noticed that Venom 800
is bigger than Venom 775.
That's because it has a bigger supercharger
and can do zero to 60 in a totally unnecessary 3.6 seconds.
But guess what?
Shelby decided to throw their cowboy hat into the ring
with this, the 770 horsepower F-150 Super Snake.
It goes zero to 60 in 3.45 seconds.
Cause why not?
Also it looks freaking sick.
But there's one more truck even faster than the Super Snake.
But I want to take second
to talk about electric pickup trucks because they are coming
and they're gonna be faster than anything else on this list.
I'm talking the Hummer EV, the Rivian R1T,
the Tesla Cybertruck
all have claimed zero to 60 times
of around three seconds flat, which is insane.
But as of right now in 2021,
you can't actually buy any of those trucks.
So I'm just gonna make them honorable mentions.
They're not gonna go on the list.
And with that out of the way,
let's talk about the current fastest pickup truck
that you can buy today.
I'm talking about the 2021 Hennessy Mammoth 1000.
It's a Ram TRX with 1012 horsepower and 969, nice
foot pounds of torque.
And if the power wasn't enough.
Hennessy lifts the already lifted truck
an additional 2.5 inches.
You know, because you want to be as far from the ground
as possible when you're driving that fast.
Goes zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds.
That's as fast as a McLaren F1, but it's a fricking truck.
I truly think this is the pinnacle
of modern gas powered production trucks.
There is no way a manufacturer is going to beat this
until they do.
Listen I love being proved wrong.
So we'll see what insanely quick trucks come out in 2022.
