    That will show you - this aircraft was a modified 747-200 for Casino Royale - it doesn't weigh anywhere near the amount of a real aircraft - since it was not designed to lift off the ground.

  • but even if it is 4-5 tons, far from the advertised weight, it is a remarkable pulling truck

  • why do you make all those comments lol XD. btw whats the point in making 5th gear when there is a much better program called top gear.

  • because others are free to do their own motoring shows? Top Gear is the best...that point I agree.

  • It's not a complete plane, just a part of it...

  • what's up with the engine spacing

  • What engine spacing?

  • Very impressive, but could it tow a 100-car coal train with 100 tons of coal in each hopper on a level grade?

    THAT would be testing to the extreme! I'm not knocking the jet tow, but if it could tow the train, I'd personally crap my pants.

  • Yes, but did the Dodge Ram have seat butt warmers, 4 zone climate controls, Navigation system, high quality leather interiors... And could it do 144 MPH (stock)?

    Now there's something to ponder on about the Touareg TDI. :)

see all

  • Also the vehicle was fitted with a stronger Diff. On the ad's they use on Australia TV with the VW pulling the same plane, there is a small notice on the bottom of the screen that advises they have fitted a stronger diff than standard on the car.

  • Touareg 2 v6 Diesel own here.

    I'd just like to say, this thing, is amazing.

  • nice to know u can though lol

  • yea like were ever going to pull a jumbo jet with a family car

  • I think you're right.. the should also try that..

  • Well it's irrelevant really ? climate controls, leather, top speed is just out of place in a work truck like the Ram the Touareg is a luxury SUV i've seen and drove one at the dealer and it's not a car i would like to abuse.

    It's armed to the teeth though, 4 piston calipers in the rear and stuff it's a great car for it's price.

  • Nah a older Dodge Ram pulled a ship once, of course it was in the war but still that way more impressive i never saw or heard from that again but it was in the mid 90's

  • roflmfao!
