Roman, just wanted to say, you started something very special with these channels and should be very proud. Youve left something that Tommy can take forward, every mans dream. You did it
Oh no please tell me this isn’t over? These videos are the best and are genuinely hilarious. Please guys do more content like this.

Exactly my thoughts. The 5.4 was not good to work on and less reliable than the 4.6 used in many vehicles and the panther platform cars as mentioned.
All three seem good alternative to $100,000 new SUVs that could put people into major payments/debt. I have a 1995 Land Cruiser.

The best kind of episode; neither scripted nor serious. This series, combined with the direction of TFLclassics (both with Brendan and post-Brendan), is exhibiting the strengths of TFL instead of struggling to be first in new vehicles or trying to script a known result into a surprise reaction.
Roman showed who is the boss and was the only one able to catch something with the rope. Can't wait to see the first video of TFL Fish. Thanks for such a funny video.

@scottyellis3442 thats cool to hear bro. When I first got mine, it had major radiator problems and when 1k was put into the radiator, pump, dealership hoses... it ran better. I still have it for family hauling but I do wish I could fix the parasitic clutch fan cuz it doesn't cool the ac enough and driving from a stop to a go takes time for rpms to reach up on super warm days. Just little details that need to get sorted out.

Love these videos of the older vehicle challenges. These are the vehicles I grew up with, stuff from the 80s and 90s.
Welcome to the new TFL Outdoors channel. Which really isn’t a bad idea. A channel dedicated to Outdoor equipment and accessories camping, over landing, etc. Great place to do camper and trailer reviews.
80 series Landcruiser, my favorite. I recall the time a friend put mine on a lift and told me it was built like a tractor 😂
I’d measure to the front bumper, what part of the vehicle smashes into the vehicle in front of it first no matter where the front axle may be. The Fords long stopping distance and won’t hold anything cup holder keeps you mad and alert, looking way ahead when driving, Safety is Job One!
Mid 90s-2007 tahoes and suburbans are probably the best all around SUVs made. Toyotas are great, but low on power, fuel mileage, and family use utility. The 350 chevys, 4.8 and 5.3 vortecs are awesome motors

@masonwheeler9624 It's a great motor too. I was a tech in the for almost a decade and I'm not really sure why but the 4.8L would come rolling in 400k or more.

The 5.4 Triton DIDN'T come in Crown Vic cop cars that would be the 4.6
Nathan, the motor your referring to is actually the 4.6. Thats the one that is known for reliability and put inside all the fleet vehicles. The 5.4 is known to be less reliable and is less common. Just like how most chevy gm products have the 5.3. Over their less common 6.0. Half ton wise at least.
When you weren't in line for Levi's or canned food, you were fishing. Lol! OMG, that cracked me up. 🤣
I love the series like this. Can’t wait to see what y’all think of next. Would love to see an early late 80s early 90s midsize showdown. Toyota pickup , hardbody, range, s-10. Would be really cool to see since people are selling these things with 200k for 10k plus all the time.
Love it, the fishing challenge and the sound of nature reminded me of many fun adventures in our 90s vehicle. Buying any used vehicle you should look for three things, no accidents, good maintenance records with quality materials and minimal modifications.
Ill be honest. I keep forgetting to watch yall even though i get a new video notification of you guys but... when i do, i get a laugh and a smile on my face watching you guys have fun everytime and i remind myself why i will never unsubcribe from you guys! Awesome as always Nathan, Audre, and Roman! Same goes for Tommy and the rest of the crew behind the scenes doing their best!! Best underated channel of all time ❤

You guys seem to have a lot of fun with these type of videos! Great stuff!
The 4.6 was the better engine. Not as much power but, Bullet proof.
Definitely can tell when you guys know how to have fun! I like this one a lot. Great catch and great race gents!
What a fun video !!!! Great job guys, this video goes great with a Sunday cup of coffee, hilarious!!!!
5:32 the 5.4L it isn't the EXACT SAME engine as the crown vic police and taxi cars. the base 4.6L is. 5.4 was only in the trucks and suvs. f150, base excursion, base f250, higher trim expedition.
I’ve been a Ford fan boy forever but I’ve been a GMT400 fan just as long. I’d take that thing every day of the week and twice in Sunday!
Love the banter of these three!
LOL BOOM. Way to go Roman! Represent! Forget the fish. The 80 series looked the best and most at home in its element anyway so 3points for that. 👍👍
The 4.6 is used in the panther platform, not the 5.4 .
My 90s chevy 1500 had the besy powertrain! But the brakes sucked.
Haha! That was a fun video. I liked the Tumbleweed course. Andre looked like he was s******* bricks when Nathan was going down the hill 😂
Great series guys! Huge fan of the channel. Had a suggestion though: I'm a huge outdoor enthusiast and drive a 2005 Toyota Sienna for my outdoor adventures. I would love to see a new challenge video series about minivan set ups. Kind of like the original Go Big series with the big SUVs, but this time 3 minivans go against each other in a mom vehicle show down. Overall, great content guys!!!
You guys are too funny. I can’t get enough!!! Keep the hilarity coming!
Nathan is wrong, cop cars and taxi's ALL had the 4.6L not the 5.4L
this was the funniest TFL Video Iv seen so far... Excellent !

That 0 to 60 on the cruiser actually makes me feel a lot better. I have a similar lift and tires and live at a similar altitude but an regeared to 4.56 and have 3x the mileage and I just clocked 15.6 to 60. So that means my engine isn't as tired as I thought... It's just always been slow.
You guys should do the 4lo crawl and see who wins the slowest drag race
It might not be exactly scientific but yes it sure is fun. I love tfl truck. Been watching it lots since 2015 by the way, I have a 2011 expedition and I would bet I could beat all of their times in my personal vehicle..😂😂😂😂. It is fun though we enjoy this stuff!! shout out to TFLtruck

However, on three occasions now, my Dad has been stranded in small towns because stuff broke on his LC, and it was a 3 day wait each time for parts.

Need to do a fix it part where something 'goes wrong' and lets see how easy it is to get the part and how much it costs to fix it and if the owner is actually able to fix it. :) I love the toyota however the simplicity of the GM is pretty well deserved.
I was driving a 1970 Cutlass “S” in the early mid nineties. Just a base model with a 350/250 had a/c ps/pb. Was an excellent vehicle. I had myself convinced that the vehicles manufactured in the nineties weren’t all that. I was wrong.
"Catch and release. You are from Portland so you can handle that" :)
The 5.4 was not used in the Crown Vic, they used a 4.6
Taxis and police cars used the 4.6L
