Nisan Titan
Anybody see that Nisan Titan commercial where they chain a Titan frame behind a pole and hook it to a train. Then the train get going like 5 mph,the chains tighten up and start to slow down the train before the chain break?
Some of the other Titan commercials i thought were a little BS, but this one i think is full of crap.
What do you guys think, just another pointless commercial from the competition?

1/2 ton pickups?
Both trucks weigh over 5,300 lbs.

Most 5/16 transport chain will break before you bend the frames of newer trucks.
You know, there is a difference between sch 70/80 chain and cheap chain. I think 3/8 sch 70 wouldn't break and low grade chain would against a modern frame.
You can certainly throttle a electric/diesel train to slowly overcome and break a chain or to the point of torque stalling.

Yea, I watched that and it's one link that snaps, obviously Wal-mart chain...
For 25 cents or less, does anyone alive here remember when Ford advertised their tough frame by welding it to the front of a (I think Sherman) tank and taking a cruise through the woods?
My old man noted they was running through nothing bigger than 3 or 4 inches...
"our frame is strong enough to topple trees....."

Yeah that chain seemed to break too easy.
In the commercial it showed the train was slowing down before the chain snapped,if they had better chain it would wrap that titan around that pole, right?

That commercial and the yota commercial where they drop a 40 yard box off the side of a cliff and the truck stops it........................there both crap, with a capital C.
The down side, I don't care what truck you put into there place or who it's made by there would be a truck at the bottom of a canyon and a frame in need of a torch and scrap yard. There just too far off base to even be possible, it's rediculous.

Because CURRENTLY Toy is the ONLY 1/2 ton WITHOUT a fully boxed frame.
