I thought about kicking out the Tundra and putting my truck in the video!
That woulda been even better! of course
Yeah my friend has a real john deere tractor, PTO, dump in front all the bells.
His is a diesel I'm guessing yours is also ?
I don't know what the rated pulling towing for that tractor is, But just times it by 29 like toyota did I believe. than see how it pulls
so if the factory calls for 1000 pounds, just strap on 29,000 pounds and video that for me

actually mine is liquid cooled gas. just like the one in the youtube vid i just posted. just a mower, not a tractor. It just isnt a lowes knock off. It's a true, get raped at the dealer for parts, all american John Deere lol
the truck could pull it no problem, on a flat surface, just as stated above many strong men shows they pull 50k semis,, shit there is even one of a guy pullin a semi with his semi or atlest his bag lol....
now put that rig on a incline or decline and watch him try lol

Absolutely correct. Somebody should have put some oil under the Tundra right before the pull.

Actually it did. Not far, but it did pull it. SRTBRAD was there to witness himself.
You obviously skipped post #24 in this thread. :dontknow:
This has been discussed in detail. Any modern 4x4 with low range could have pulled the shuttle on a level grade. Toyota saw the marketing opportunity and jumped on it. Good for them.

$1,000,000.00 marketing opportunity and smart to do it.

It did drive it over the 405 freeway. I was there and saw it done. The center had a long term contract with Toyota so they used that truck. I remember the reporters were trying to stir shit up as it was a foreign car pulling an American shuttle. The reason it did was the overpass would not have been able to support the weight of the shuttle and the transporter they where using. Any truck could have done it. I so wanted it to blow it's guts but it did not happen.

Well since nobody else will do it...
The thing they forgot to mention was that they photosgopped out the chain that was hooked to the cummins that pulled the tundra
