Out-pulled by a VW ?!?!?!

[symbols]

I wonder if they would get pissed if we went to the airport and started dragging planes everywhere?

In reality - not really that hard to beleive. Flat surface - it's just getting it rolling - not that hard - not like your trying to stop it from rolling - then the momentum and weight will overcome you. But just to get it rolling - yeah - I beleive it.

I dont see why yall think its BS, Looks pretty easy to me. now stoping it on the other hand LOL. that might be a chalinge.

No squat in the suspension and able to stop 310,000lbs with stock brake.........get the hell out of here..........wait, hold on, let me wipe the "stupid" off my face

They tried to make it seem like it was a world record that nothing else could do it. I dont see how that thing could hold 4.5 tons in the cargo area and not squat. Thats where I call b s. The rest I can understand once you break it lose. I just think there where some mods done to that thing. I dont believe it was stock. There is just something fishy about it.

Easy, it is real, I believe it. Think about it, at the airport when these things get pushed back from the gate it is basically a small truck doing that. Low gear ratio, i.e. 4 low and that engine is pretty much a small truck enigne, just what we are sporting in our trucks. VW just had the money for the PR stunt, I bet anything a stock PSD 4x4 with that much weight added to get traction would do the same. Now a nicely tuned PSD may get it fast enough for it to lift off... Try that for publicity...

True......but either way it don't mean a damn to me, let's see that thing pull over 20K up a steep grade and then back down at 60MPH without a sweat.......or better yet hook the "VW" up to a horse trailer with 7 or 8 wild azz horses throwin' the trailer from side to side.....
