    Well I guess we are gonna have to build a lot more coal plants to generate the 'clean' electricity, and get a lot more lithium for the 'clean' batteries from that bastion of environmental protection, China. Yea, green... like cows fly.

    I hope the technology departments in these automotive worlds have learned from the cell phone industry that having different power/ recharging adapters for each and every phone eventually just created a lot of electronic junk. I hope there is some law that is introduced to meet ONE standard type of connector for every EV vehicle.

    Psh, 5.7 yota could probably do that.

    How badass is that towstrap though!

    Had a 2004 F 150 super crew, I replaced the drive shaft 3 times, two rear ends, three sets of ball joints. I went to a single piece shaft just before I traded it in on my Tundra in 2016, the trans was slipping when I signed the papers.

    Every Famous tow out there up till today.



    Good Job Ford, good job. you have proved it and sold me on how well its made. Now, where the hell does I find that strap?







    My favorite



    However

    There are lots of internet challenges these day's, the bottle cap been the recent one. How about trying to killing one of their trucks and see if it survives. These independent guys tried to kill a Toytota but failed. How about that for an internet challenge.

    Pssst... A V10 Touareg pulled a 155 ton 747 and that didn't make the list @G10dra... come on man!

    I actually didn't watch the video though, as I don't own a train or an airplane. Just a 24' camper, which I'm happy to report: the Tundra pulls just great. Carry on!

    Pulling a million pounds with a 20k lbs nylon strap?? I would have promptly pulled my Tundra up there, put it in 4L and pulled it too. Not much rolling resistance to steel wheels. The railroads are more concerned with the resistance from the bearing seals for saving fuel as most seal manufacturers are producing zero torque labyrinth seals.
