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.

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.
