I’m surprised no one has made any comment about the new GMC commercial that shows a Dura Max dually on the railroad tracks pulling at very good speed railcars; some of which are loaded with other GM trucks. Also it appears that the length of the railcars the Dura Max is pulling is over 1/4 mile long![sm=bs.gif]

 

Back in 73 chevy did a comercial wih a pickup pulling a 747, what they didn't show was the three trany's the fried before they got the shot right.

 

I didn't say anything about that commercial because I hate it! Especially since it comes on every five minutes during nascar...and i watch it with a kid that likes chevy...although he knows little about diesel and the fact that v8's (especially aluminum or whatever light **** metal they use) and diesel NEVER make a good combination. Did I say that I hate that commercial?

 

I knew it couldn't even keep up to me pulling a small trailer while I'm pulling a heavy loaded one, so I just laugh when I see it.

 

Those MAXs are pretty fast, I run with a couple of em, They just run a little warm. But they wont pull mile to mile with the CTD. And they tend to spend alot of time at the dealer. Fast aint nothin if its on a ROLLBACK!!!

 

hey guys i bet if we all chipped in we could get tv airtime and show that vid of the guy with the duramax gettin outpulled on the highway by an old 2nd gen CTD. not sure if it was a twelve or twentyfour valve tho

 

I saw that commercial andI was wondering WTF ??

I was like " no way is that tub really doing that ". Why do you think they chose to use a dually when 2 of the rear tires aren't even on the tracks?

 

ok.....railroad tracks = steel,right??? tires = rubber???right,dmax pulling heavy load on those two things equal no traction...correct...we will see that commercial on that tv show bout crazy commercials were they enveil the secrets of how they did it...lol

 

I don't care if the thing DID hook up, I don't think it could pull that load from a dead stop hooking up or not.

Hell I don't even think it could pull it downhill !!

 

That commercial is 100% fake. I'm sure they made that commercial easily on the computer. Face the facts, not even a semi could get that kind of load to move - thats why they have 2 or 3 multi-thousand hp train engines moving those kinds of loads.
