- Well shucks I've been doing this all wrong. Sell my 09 HD and hook up the ol fifth wheel to the C10. J/k! Loved the video I saw it years ago at a car show. The truck looks a little bent in the middle but impressive. I'm thinking they had the big block pull that load....
- Here's how these guys did it. What amazed me is that they could add over 15,000 lbs of ballast and stay with the stock suspension. I wonder.
Touareg pulls 747 - I'm with Chris I don't think they started that load rolling without having binders available on the trailers...
That damphool ABS brakes that causes people to crash hadn't been invented yet... - If you look at the video carefully, You will see something in the passenger seat, which to me looks like some kind of air brake unit. I could be wrong.....but something appears to be there to make those brakes stop the trailer!

They either added a compressor and manual brake valve to the Chevy, or caged all the trailer brake drums. If they went with option 2, on any type of hill it would be like trying to stop a 40 foot 5th wheel with a motorcycle.old guy wrote:

Maybe the Chevy pickup can tow 187 tons, but can it stop it !
