Cool vid, thanks for sharing.

The Toy had power to all four wheels which is something that he F-150's do not have. Additionally, we would have to lose the front air dam for sure.

I was pretty impressed.

A new F150 could not do that in stock form, but if it were a SASed it could.

A Bronco would have a good chance.

A raptor could easily do it. I've been in some really deep stuff with my old '88 that my new '11 will never see as long as I own her.

A guy I work with has a raptor, the traction control is nothing to laugh at, I seen it drive through mud that I never thought it would make 1/10th of the way.

Also, does the toyota have 365 + hp ?

I just thought it was cool to see some EXTREME towing regardless of if it was a Toyota or not...it would just be awesome to see a F150 doing it too!

Parkland...I know I have a Toyota...I was merely asking which one of you would do this with your truck. I don't think I would want to do this with my new truck when I get one...but it was just cool to see them tow to places no one would think about taking a TT.

Parkland, it probably can, since that Toyota most probably is a diesel. They used a 4.5 older gas engine, now they use either the 4.0 present in the US market or a 4.5 V8 diesel, which is probably the one in that truck.

It also has 2 fuel tanks (23.8 gal each).

The 4.0 V6 gas engine is the same found in the 4Runner and the FJ Cruiser. The 4.5 I6 is way older. The 4.5 V8 diesel is the current engine.

Here in Venezuela they sold those in the short wheelbase version and troop carrier version (long wheelbase 2 doors), and they used Dana 60 differentials on some of them, so they're very stout. Great off-roaders and all-terrain transports.

Yep it is most definately a diesel...you can hear it when he was doing some of the slow steady pulling....not to mention when he was going through the sand full out.
