Hello bored at work and found this video; i really dont know why you do this sort of thing; i can only think it would damage both vehicles but hey it gets us to watch

huh. So.... the larger, heavier truck with the larger motor won in the pulling contest?
That seems pretty predictable.

Wonder if the fjcruiser was manual or auto- seems like he was spinning tires pretty fast vs. the 100 who was pulling, slooowly ahead

But could it out pull a dodge ram?

This is kinda fun in an "aw sh@t" way - not a vs, cause there's no LC/LX, but would love to see what would have happened if there had been.

Hmmmm?? 1/2 ton or HD ? Most likely neither !!

 

[sandcruiser]

probably not
but I'd sure rather have a Cruiser in the middle of nowhere than said Ram.

Now, if all I was doing was hauling gravel or cordwood.... the dodge would get the nod

I'd still go with the LC and get a utility trailer, oh wait thats exactly what I did.

 

[sandcruiser]

well....
if *all* I was doing was hauling crap around, I'd really prefer a big old pickup
trailers are a great addition to an all-around vehicle, but pickups are just so much easier to park, easier to reverse, and handle better

seeing as how I've got the option- down here I would buy an 70-series pickup and be done with it, if that suited my purpose. but in the States.... a dodge/chevy/ford would probably be a good idea. I'm sure someone will chime in with how the three aren't the same. Ok. I'm sure one is better, don't care, not in the market.

shocking results...

i have seen a couple other post mostly ford vs chevy etc but these things have no real world application they should try to pull out a tree stump or something; i can only see damage one or both trucks just odd i thought any way thanks for sharin

A friend of mine hooked up a 100 to a Dodge 1/2 ton on pavement...neither vehicle moved. He DID say that if it was a HD, the dodge would've yanked the 100 all over the parking lot.


He's tried this with several vehicles.

as someone who has owned many a dodge diesels I can tell you the HD cummins 4x4s will absolutely destroy a 100 in a tow off - in fact I would put any 2 or 3 100s against a cummins dodge, traction will become the mitigating factor but if you've never driven or owned a diesel work truck you have absolutely no clue how absurdly powerful they are.

that being said, I own a 100 as I no longer require the services of a work truck, and I'd take the 100 lots of places a 2500HD would get stuck, or just simply couldn't pass....
