I had to use mine to pull a stump one time. I actually had to hook my 40 foot trailer to it because my drive axles were bouncing. I needed the weight. hahahaha

I jack knifed the truck in and hooked the chain to the frame and pull the stump.

I read it the same as everyone else. I just have the ability to interpret it in more than one direction... then I decide on the funniest version and comment on it.

I'm wondering if we should have towing drags. You put your car on the trailer and drag against someone else in their truck towing their car.
Thanks Brother...

My truck will tow my car... but it certainly isn't going to set any land speed records doing so...

Escalade... 6.2liter, 0-60 in 6.8, 8300 lb towing capacity... weight 5694
Dodge Ram 1500...5.7 0-60 in 6.3, 390 HP, 404 torque 11,350 towing capacity..4574 curb weight...

1100 lbs less weight, and way better gears, I'll take you down...
