It clearly failed so they swapped trucks. Hahah. Hilarious. That was one step away from seeing a Mountain Dew in the cup holder.

The history channel has been known countless times to air bull****

The easiest way to spot a bs show is the countless camera angles and dramatic music.

Exactly. At least use a loader or something to push it while the pickup "pulls it". Don't let the camera see that of course. Whatever. I just thought it was funny but discrediting the ecoboost.

I worked on a job once that was featured on Mega Builders. It's totally true. They play up the smallest thing and make it into something hugely dramatic. By watching the the show you would think it was the end of the world, but in actuality, it was only a minor delay. Pretty cool to watch the show though after the fact. .

Would you watch it if it wasn't dramatic? Maybe.

Would the masses watch it if it wasn't dramatic? Nope.

I'm just surprised that they used a chain - especially in the cold climate like that. Have you ever seen what can happen when a chain breaks under pressure, like pulling another truck? I have... can you say "hope the guy ducked, because the whole top of the cab was gone!

2" ****** 'em strap, for me, thank you very much!
