Default Hemi vs. Semi

Ok, it's not a CTD but it is still a Dodge.

I hate to say it, but that looked fake. How did it all of a sudden get enough traction to pull that thing out, especially in the snow?

I dunno man ...

One thing they did not show is if the semi had traction tires, street tires or chains on the drive tires. All the semi needed was enough pull to move it to where it could get traction to move the truck forward from where it was.

BTW, Mayfair I've seen something close to this being done before so for me being a former OTR driver I can believe the Hemi did help it get moving. Oh and I bet the semi trailer was empty and why it needed help moving forward as the tractor didn't have enough weight on the drive tires to get traction where it was setting. My $0.002

2wd hemi... sometimes all you need is a slight bump to get things moving.
