Tundra, "The Truckers Truck"

[durallymax]

Anybody seen these videos?? Looks like a lot of time and money for a little commercial. Im Glad If I bought one I would know I could drive up a firey spiral to nowhere.

GM released something awhile back when they started those commericals. saying all there lil tricks they do and shit to make it possible

 

[durallymax]

which must have been why they posted the first video sowing that they actually did it.

Now I wanna see how they got the truck down.

 

[03GreenLB7]

id love to see it that too.

id be more impressed if they would have started the extreme heat at the bottom of the climb to see if it could have made it up.

 

[mmangels22]

:rofl: highly doubt that this would actually happen in real life.

I wonder how much that little trailer weighed? It seems pointless to waiste all that money on such a trivial test I mean what does it prove if no other manufacturers took part in it? I would assume they used the crane to get the trailer down.

Seems rather pointless to me although it now gives the tundra crowd room to say "yeah....well...uuhhh...yeah...ummm...so what my truck can drive up a steel platform in a firey tunnel pulling a 2' x 4' trailer and yours can't, how you ask, well...uhh....uhh...because I saw it on a commercial once...yeah...thats it a commercial...soo..uhh...take that chevy/ford/dodge owner"

I'd try it with the D-Max going in reverse and fire on the whole way.

craned the truck and trailer down..

there was enough wiegh to squat the rear axle.. or it "seamed" such enough weight...

250* for less then 60 second aint shit.. not eough time to heat soak anything.

its a laughable tourture test at best

Most likely used the crane to lower the truck and trailer

that's 2 minutes of my life i'll never get back.


Why do these companies come up with these retarded "test's" to show how "bad ass" there "truck" is? I think my personal favorite is the Titan frame commercial. It's the one were the train was pulling the frame around the pole. I just laughed every time I seen it. I just hope one of the big 3 is still aorund so I don't have to buy one of those POS import "trucks".


I deal with these yotas at work a lot. We do lift, wheels and tires on them. I've driven several both lifted and stock. They steer like poop, brake like poop and are overall cheap. My 3/4 ton truck on 37's rides better IMO.......They do have comfy seats and seat position though. The seat is up off the floor and it's nice for a tall guy.

my favorite thing ever, there is a pick that has a 3500 silverado or sierra, cant remember, towing the Toyota Craftman Race series truck trailer.
