Hmmm......

I thought you guys would like a video of an old Chevy square body thumping a new Ford Raptor.

I began watching that the other day when I was interrupted.  Haven't had time to get back to it, yet.  The excerpt I saw foretold the outcome.  All that fancy new gadgetry just doesn't compete.  Brings new life to Found On Roadside Dead!....

I watched and enjoyed it.  I do think tires had to do more with it anything though.

Great video.
I have to admit sometimes when driving my CUCV I do get a little jealous of the shiny new duramax, powerstroke, or cummins that pulls up next to me at the lights.  When the light turns green they leave my 6.2 in the dust and life is good again.

I think operator error had more to do with it than anything but it is easier to accept that the failure was pointed out when they circled the problem on that 4 letter word...

I tend to agree.  The Raptor was somewhat gingered into the maneuver whereas the K just got er done - significant difference in momentum.  I think flotation and weight had a bearing on it too as well as the approach - better lineup.

I enjoyed it!

they didnt try to be funny to the point of being the opposite of funny.

that k10 is pretty much my dream truck other than it not being a round headlight truck

meh, i live in the southeast corner of ND, on the MN border and we hit trails and even some paved roads that are worse off than this... and i work snow removal so i just go right thru the drifts/piles that the scrapers are piling up 3-4ft high sometimes... this is nothing..  come try the ND challenge haha, but in all seriousness my 2 1988 3.4 suburbans walked miles all over the newer stuff that kept getting stuck this year and last year,  last year i pulled out 9 semis, 8 postal trucks, a couple duramax's and a few dodge hemi's and i lost count of all the FWD and AWD cars/minivans.


 if im on my way and it doesnt make me late, i just do it for free but if i get a call to run out its $20-$40 depending on how deep you dug yourself haha. ive only pulled out a handful this winter so far, but its been mostly ice.

the HEMI's and Dmax's had plenty of torque but just couldnt deliver it to the ground to get that bite to move it. me on the otherhand, just drop it in 4lo and let her rip, no "traction control" software to reduce output bc of slippage lol

Would chains help in an offroad situation?
