Notice that they didn't show it stop. With 187 tons, it may take a while.

And 3 flat tires too, 'cause it's a Ford.

They don't mention that after about 30 feet the transmission had burnt up all the lining on the clutches.

I had a 1986 GMC 3500 dually 6.2 diesel 4 speed manual with 4.54(?) ratio axles. It would LITERALLY pull a train (just not very fast).

I remember the commercial very well
I was truly a huge chevy fan back in the day so much my family dis owned me, they were all were ford die Hards they even blead ford blue when cut LOL
I worked one summer with a uncle helping him with his scrap yard . core business around 1979 or so when the job markeet tanked
I bought a 200.00 chevy 3/4 ton chevy truck ( I think it was a 73 or 74 ) out of a local wrecking yard the guy that turned in said he kept going thru starters. I spent a lot of time at thet junk yard pulling parts a lot of mustang and camaro parts and selling them local or in the trade papers
any way I put a new started and flex plate and used it all that summer hauling scrap iron and aluminum along with the eng and trans mission cores to places like jaspers
many time I would have the back bumper dragging the road with a load of scrap ( that was after I added more springs to the rear ) it would get so light in the front tires barley made contact. I know I had over 3 tons in cast iron on it more than a few times I blew out at least a half dozen tires that summer on the back of it
but it more than paid for its self many times over end of the summer I sold it to one of my uncles sons for the 200.00 and it just kept hauling scrap

That was back before Chevrolet took all kinds of TARP money from Chocolate jesus. I wouldn't spit on a chevy if it was on fire now.

It may pull it but I'll guarantee it won't stop it.

They didn't need to worry about stopping it, they left the brakes engaged on all of those trailers...
