    Defender v Dodge Ram ...Tug of War!

    Not sure if this video clip has been put up on here previously or not.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzPNingdQBs

    Just imagine how embarrassing it would have been for the Dodge if they had used a Disco instead of a worn out old Defender ...


    Cheers,
    Terry

    Its all about traction rather than torque. Even if it was about torque, it would also have as much to do with gearing as with engine torque. Still nice to see the defender come out on top.

    Is the Dodge a 2 or 4WD. It appears to be only 2WD.

    Unless its got lockers or a TC, it's 2WD drive anyway....just on different axles....

    I actually thought it was a solid bar and the Dodge was trying to push start the Deefer ...LOL....no I didn't....

    Is it just me who thinks the Dodge is in rear wheel drive some of the time?

    Have a look at these (looks like you have to click on the titles - they were working on the panel earlier)

    Dodge Power Wagon versus Range Rover Sport:

    Dodge Power Wagon pulls semi with HMMVs - front and rear wheels smoking:

    Dodge Cummins pulls semi out of mud:

    Circlework:

    Plenty more on YouTube pulling other vehicles backwards.

    One of my Land Rover friends (who won a couple of Guernseys at Cooma in 2008) and visits here occasionally has a new Dodge Ram with the Cummins turbo and auto and it is VERY impressive - you would not know it was a diesel so for fun he drives his VM powered RRC just to remind himself!

    I believe that video is staged. having seen plenty of similar things it is always the vehicle with the most traction and weight that wins.
