Chev Duramax vs VW SUV

I think those tug of wars are about traction, gearing and most important driving ability or lack thereof.

Why anybody would abuse a vehicle in such a fashion is beyond me, although I do like watching those world's....(fill in blank)....videos on late night TV. :)

Watching people subject their vehicles to different 'tests' like the one shown is the primary reason why I don't buy second hand.
