Goes to show weight/traction is the biggest factor in a tug of war. I'll hook my Dakota to his ranger :stirthepot:

Yep - all it demonstrates is that tugging competitions prove nothing.

Unfortunely, mankind is not smart enough to realize that until it happens. But at least they knew it was better to bail out when they could.

Nothing wrong with a lil tug o war.

Most guys that dontlike them or say they dont prove nothing are the ones that think HP is all that matters.

Now granted, if both trucks are sitting there smoking the tires then it comes down to traction. But if both trucks are hooked up it comes down to torque.

Weight does come in though, thats why its dumb to do it with to obviously unequal trucks (like say a Peterbilt and a Ranger). But theres nothing wrong with a couple of midszies going at it.

later,
Dustin

No chain is in danger between those two vehicles.
