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. :)

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

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.
