American vs German engineering for brute force.

Looks like the truck was in 2wd.

The Toureg v10 has 500hp out of the box and an ungodly amount of torque, not to mention awd.

Yes, yes it does. I have always kinda wanted one. 553 ft lbs of torque.

i was waiting for the part where the tow strap or chain snapped and killed the driver or people filming.

I'm guilty of that too! [werdo]

Dude in the pickup needs to learn how to use that switch on the dash that says "4wd" and not just lay into the throttle like that. Hook that Fahrvergnügen to any large 4wd pickup with some common sense behind the wheel and the truck takes it by sheer weight.

Start of the video he says he is rolling it forward to lock it in...

The weight differential is not as much as you think. The GVW of the VW is 6800lb approx. It is the extremely low center of gravity on the VW and the insane HP/torque to weight ratio that makes it a beast. I just wish the still made that model, I'd like one but they are getting a little old now.

Maybe he made the chain tight, that truck was not in 4wd. Front tires weren't moving or smoking. I'll call BS especially when that thing had stacks out of the bed, that isn't the only thing that truck had done to it.
