people should learn the power of a winch..

i can say from personal experience that a stock TTB won't do that.
it'll collapse the radius arm and put a 45 degree bend in the frame and it still won't detach from the truck.

The other thing I just can't believe is how close some of those guys are standing to the tow straps while the Powerstroke is pulling, especially when he's getting a running start.
Do people not realize that the black smoke is unburned diesel. An the worlds fastest diesel is the dodge from banks and it burns cleaner than a gas burner...!!!
