Towing Problems-Disappointment with Duramax

[DutchmenSport]

I am a die hard Chevy guy and I am guilty of having Chevy Duramax pride. So when I saw this video, I about cried. This is one time the Duramax just couldn't do it alone. Thank goodness for the forest park service to help him out. (But with a Toyota! Come on! Incredible but true ... so embarrassing for us Chevy guys! But felt compelled to go ahead and post and swallow some pride!)

So, wasn't sure where to actually put this, in "Towing" or the "5er Forum".

For you 5er guys, this one's for you too.

Watch, cry, and enjoy! I think you'll like this (and snicker at us Chevy fanatics!) :

Not believable at all, the fiver wasn't a pile of match sticks after rolling on it's side, :B

They are some sophisticated scale models of the real thing that are rather expensive but a lot of fun to drive with a remote control.

Like I said, "TOYS". Expensive and very detailed, YES, but still toys.

Kind of like the Big ones these scale models represent??? Big toys?

They've got a serious problem with the pin box and hitch!!!! And no breakaway!

Kudos to the attention to detail though, especially the 5er complete with awning and porch light!
Pretty cool.

It's "tongue in cheek". Winter blahs you know... Gotta have a little fun on these forums sometimes. I thought the entire video was simply adorable. It's amazing how they can make those RC trucks almost seem "human".

I forgot to add but if you watch the entire video you will note the Duramax had to bail out the Toyota towards the end.

You got me...great post.

I was thinking RobertRyan was involved when I read Toyota Hilux...pretty cool trailer though.

Thanks!

Don't drive that toy through my campsite or I'll blow it to smithereens with my shot-gun.

Very entertaining 🙂 Especially when the 5th came loose and the breakaway brakes did not work.

Needs more pin weight and maybe a Harley hanging off the front bumper.

My X-Maxx would have stomped both of them.

It will even right it's self in the unlikely event I should up end it.
