I thought all this time that the Duramax was a big powerful engine??? I guess not since it was no match for a VW Toureg TDI !!! LOL!!!

VW Touareg V10 TDI Vs. Chevy Duramax Bumper pull - YouTube

 

Maybe he should have put it in 4Low

 

just wrong..but cute. Those tires on that dirtymax are the problem. All show.

 

lol, was the truck even in 4wd.

 

Thinking that was his problem. There were no tire tracks or smoke coming from the front wheels, which was why the Touareg easily pulled him.

Those Touareg's aren't light, and 5,000 lbs on four wheels will beat 3,000 lbs on two wheels every single time. Some folks don't get how power doesn't win these; traction does.

 

Put 12,000 lbs of trailer behind each one and re-run the test or even put 1 ton in the bed of the P/U and watch what happens.

 

He snapped the half shaft on the drivers front. Chevy still hasn't beefed the front end up enough for the Dirtymax, and pulling!

 

Wow...just went and looked at the comments and then at the video again. Not sure about the half shaft, but his front tires are pointed at each other.

Here's my favorite comment:

While we have a certain amount of brand loyalty here on FTE, the majority of us typically have some semblance of reality and common sense. THIS guy clearly demonstrates none of that.

 

They did in 2011+ trucks. They're massive underneath. Look a lot stronger and beefier than ours.

 

Pretty confident that a stock truck would have owned the Touareg. Even with a relatively weak front end they should be able to spin all four wheels on concrete and not break something. But when you put on a lift and big tires without beefing any of the supporting systems this kind of thing is bound to happen.

 

Where can I get my V10 diesel Tom????

 

It's in the Touareg Darren....

 

LOL pretty sure the 3.0 TDI is a V6.
I drove a gas toaureg for a while and that thing had some major geddi up and go. Was real fun to drive.

 

Well, according to this guy on the internet (of course being on the internet means you know everything) said it has a v10 diesel so I'm sure that's the case.

He sounded so intelligent as well, it must be true!

 

They actually do have a V10 diesel, and it is pretty impressive! I believe that the Porsche Cayenne? runs this same engine (Options on both). I am pulling these numbers from an old Top Gear (the bbc one) but I think over 500hp, and around 700ish torque. As you can imagine, the German's have developed a hell of an AWD/4WD system for these two!

I was off a lot!
It also seems as though they do not make the V10 TDI anymore.
