towing a semi...

That's impressive! I can't wait to show this to my dodge buddy who says "taco's can't tow shit"..

 

That's why some semi's have lockers and interaxle diff lockers. Spin-out is a huge cause of diff failure on semis. Nice work though.

 

That's awesome OP, definitely bragging rights with your domestic friends.

What is even funnier are all the haters and shit talkers on here

 

I didnt say anyone hated the OP either. I said haters

I did see my car pull the semi. Impressive.

 

quoted since everyone keeps asking for the video.

and what this guy said, it's not like the semi was at a dead stop and being pulled out, the guy was obviously giving it some gas to help out. now if he was all wheels off and stuck in some mud, then I'd be worried for the OP's truck (but, afterall, it's his truck and whatever he does is his own doing)

 

I would have used the chain and chained the spinning drive wheel on the semi so it wouldn't turn.

Though I thought tractors had locking diffs but apparently that one was lacking.
Disclaimer: Only cabs I've ever been in were logging trucks used off-road.

 

Most trucks like that have lockers and interaxle diff lockers, some but not all long haul type have lockers.

 

I got ur point

 

Obviously you read way more into my post. Momentum provided by any tow vehicle when a tractor trailer is involved is somewhat impressive but the Tacoma shouldn't be singled out as superior in any way in this situation.

 

Nice vid OP

ignore those who downplay and minimize it, they would
be the ones declining to help people for any excuse.
That truck driver owes you a beer!

 

I thought you were banned.

 

Most trucks have a power divider. It works like transfer case dividing the power between front and rear drive axles. I never saw any locking diffs at school, or at the shop I worked in Ohio. Must be an expensive option for specialized rigs.

 

lol

 

I think its cool. I flipped an explorere back on its tires a week ago but got no video. I would have posted it too and I'm sure everyone woulda rained on my parade too

 

Must be the skewp

 

I know that DB

X2.

 

Haters gonna hate, good job buck.

 

Semi tractors are surprisingly easy to get stuck--even in 4WD. Once their weight balance is just enough off-center on the drive axle(s), it's over. Back when I used to drive OTR, I got stuck turning around in gravel parking lots and even had to chain up once to get over a 2" bump on ice because I was on an odd side angle.

Only drove for four years, but never saw a locking diff. Every truck I drove had a power divider though.

 

It was the skewp.

 

Weak, this chick does it with her teeth
