Gold Rush Super Duty

Just like the set up stunt on Ice Road Truckers. HMMMMM Who advertises their trucks on that show.

I have pulled semis out of snow and mud with my Duramax, but its still a pretty cool video. I am sure that episode will help sell a few trucks for Ford.

In the early '70's I drove a six wheel Gmc garbage truck. One of the dumps I went to it was standard practice most of the year for an old yard truck to hook on and tow you in. He wasn't towing he was helping to maintain momentum.

I have pulled many concrete trucks, transport trucks etc with my pickup. They are not truly stuck and just need a little help in keeping moving. Thats what that truck did.

They should have used a Tundra cause it can pull the space shuttle!!! :B

Cool video. The other of the big 3 may not have made it because they are about 500 lb lighter than the SD:)

A while back when I worked for a general contractor, my quad axle dump truck with a detroit diesel died. The boss towed me to the shop with his 6.5 GM diesel. That's the fastest that dump truck ever accelerated. This truck was 60,000 lb loaded, and was a dog. The braking and handling of my old 08 GMC and 26'TT wasn't that great but still handled like a sports car in comparison.

Lets see that again with the tow tractor in neutral ! Then that would be something.

Well two things;
#1. anyone of the big three could have done that! He wasn't pulling the full load, just what was needed to get the rig rolling. Likely more then the trucks 28,000# tow rating.

#2 If he was pulling too much would not want that auto trans!

On Edit PS: well thne again the amount the F350 could add would be limited by the traction of the four tires on the about 8,500# truck!! Likely didn't even provide 28,000# pounds of pull before the tires broke traction.
