F150 - 1 Million pound tow

[4x15mph]

This is going to be a great option when it’s available.

I own an F150 and really like it. I would potentially buy an all electric F150, but this whole thing seems ridiculous to me. There’s no way this is possible. That strap probably can’t even support a fraction of that weight, let alone the frame of the truck. Not to mention, how the hell did they stop the freight cars? They conveniently left that part out.

He addresses the strap directly towards the end.

They were only going 4.5mph, so stopping was probably just as unimpressive as the pulling, but didn't serve thier marketing purposes.

Uphill then I’ll feel a little bad about buying a new tundra next time. But no hard feelings I’ll still give you a ride when you have it in for repairs if you find a place where we can park that and the space shuttle I’m towing I’ll buy you a beer to.

@Liveto99 quite the opposite, I’ll put both halves of the rusted out Toyota on the train and tow you to buy me a beer. Or was it only the Tacoma’s that got free frame replacements? All joking aside, I’ll never own anything but a Ford pickup at this point. I’ve had 70,000 trouble free miles on the current 2018 and 160,000 on the last 2014, not even a check engine light!

Agree it’s no different than the strength contests where the strong dudes pull a train car or whatever. In reality these things are all on wheels, once they start moving it’s pretty much momentum.
