#THE FALL GUY TRUCK MOVIE#
This is intercut with actual Hollywood stock footage, from various eras, of dangerous movie stunts, such as an exploding plane plunging straight into the ground, or a motorcycle jumping through a flaming hoop. Typically, an episode begins with a voice-over introduction from Majors (as Seavers) explaining the precarious life of a Hollywood stuntman, and how he, Colt, is unable to make a full-time living from stunt work and must moonlight as a bounty hunter. He is accompanied by his cousin and stuntman-in-training Howie Munson (Barr), whom Colt frequently calls "Kid", and occasionally by fellow stunt performer Jody Banks (Thomas). He uses his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects (especially stunts involving cars or his large GMC pickup truck) to capture fugitives and criminals.

After all, truck-makers are living proof that the schoolyard taunt “everything you can do plus one” is a great way to spur a rival into action.Lee Majors plays Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. As is, it’s simply a more useful machine and at these prices ($80,000 and change) a truck should be able to do everything its owner asks, not just most tasks.īut don’t expect Toyota to leave these gaps unaddressed – nor Ford to leave poor ride quality on the table – for very long.

While the Ford does exhibit a more truck-like road experience than the Toyota, its myriad of useful tools – Pro Power Onboard, the weigh scales, a stout tailgate step – cannot be ignored. One’s choice will boil down to outright ride comfort versus available practical features. The Ford has a more grown-up appearance, despite having enough chrome up front to fill a bucket. Suffice it to say, the Toyota’s grille is as big and in-yer-face as it looks in photos, though your author does relish the idea of blazing the grille-mounted TRD off-road light at every opportunity simply to annoy the neighbours.
Styling is unmentioned here because it is a highly subjective category. And if you can’t get comfortable in these thrones, go see a chiropractor. The large digital gauge cluster offers up more information than the nightly news, presented with entertaining animations and crisp graphics. Witness the easy-peasy placement of every secondary control, from audio to ventilation, which manages to blend physical dials and a jumbo touchscreen instead of trading one for the other. Ford clearly read from the Book of Ram for some details – the excellent bottom-centre grip on the steering wheel and dual gloveboxes are prime examples – but has forged its own excellent path in many other areas. The pickup truck arms race has long since spilled over from engine bay to cabin, with Ford bringing the goods for 2021 in the form of a new infotainment system and plenty of available luxury features like flat-recline front seats and sumptuous upholstery which, in this tester, is the creamy colour of a Tim’s double-double. It does, however, have an utterly soulless exhaust note. Direct acceleration comparisons are tough absent of a closed course, but sticking with seat-of-the-pants judgements, acceleration seems slightly more robust in the Toyota, largely thanks to its better transmission manners and all its torque coming online 600 rpm earlier.

Toyota downshifts are rapid and seamless when the driver calls down to the engine room for more power. Ford’s next step is to join the Coil Gang if it wants the type of on-road comfort found in the Toyota.ĭespite their suspiciously similar output numbers, the Tundra feels ever so slightly more responsive than the F-150. While Ford has certainly improved its leaf-spring suspension over the decades, there is an argument to be made it’s pushed this old-school tech as far as it can go. The truck is better off for it, feeling more composed over rough road surfaces than the Ford, especially in our unladen testing. In addition to ditching the octopot, Toyota also binned leaf springs from its rear suspension, retaining a live axle bookended with coils or optional air suspenders.
