The second episode of the new Gold Rush season aired last night on Discovery. They were hauling their equipment up a muddy hill and the big rigs couldn't climb it. They even put chains on the tires. Dave hooked his Superduty 7.3 Powerstroke to the front of a rig and pulled it up the hill. It was a really cool pull and added to an already great show.

 

I love that show but I don't buy it. If that tractor trailer with all that weight is stuck in the mud it's gonna take a lot more than a pickup to pull it out. I both were in the slop, I don't see it happening, but good editing for the show though.

Haven't seen the video, but its probably helped it up, not truely pulled the dead weight on its own.

I've seen an 18wheeler get stuck on dry pavement on a sloped driveway with no load

 

i thought it was the 6.0... regardless it was pretty neat to see. Then again all it needed was a little umph to get her going...

 

Where's the video

 

, not what the op is talking about still pretty cool

 

Thats nothing Amish people FTW!!





Here is the video in question i think.

 

Pretty cool but ya it was just helping it, ive done the same with my f150, pulling our semi up a slick approach coming out of the field.

 

who needs a f250 or 350??

 

Just watched the show, i think it was a 7.3

 

interesting.... FX4 decals and a 97/98 front end

 

Gas motor Doing work!!!

 

97/98 FTW!

 

Yes, it is a 7.3L truck.

I hate how they don't always get the right truck with a drive by shot of something different on that show all the time.

Suprised Toyota hasn't tried to get in on these kind of TV shows yet.
