Thought for discussion - Towrig.com pulloff!

I was thinking about this today. Rather than all of us sitting around talking about what's the best, let's put our trucks where our mouths are. I propose a NorCal TowRig.com pulloff sometime maybe this fall. We could pick a grade somwhere, maybe the Altamont Pass or something steeper (???), get a trailer and load it up with something heavy, and do some friendly real-world comparisons. How do the D-Max, Powerstroke and Cummins stack up? LLY vs. LB7? 7.3 vs 6.0? It would be very interesting to see how things compare towing the same trailer up the same hill in the same conditions.

Anyway, just a thought for everyone.

 

Sounds interesting. imp:

 

Are you going to make them all stay stock? If not the one who spends the most on their truck will win.

 

So are you considering turbine powered trucks or should I leave that one at home
OOH, OOH, you need to refine the CUMMINS catagory 'cause there are some REALLY HOT Cummins trucks here and they are not exactly pickups waytogo

 

Isn't that the way most sporting events pan out :stir:

 

Somebody has Blazerfest on the brain.... waytogo

I like the idea but think it would be a little difficult to do. Where would everyone meet? Re hooking pickup after pickup to the same trailer.....seems it would be a little boring to me. Not trying to be an asshat, just thinking what it could be like.

I would throw in that we could all meet someplace and rent/hire a sled. imp: That would seem to me to be more fun. We could compete in classes pulling the sled and could maybe have a most smoke contest..??..

 

I will be pulling my K5 all the way to moab in OCT if anyone wants to meet me on some of those mountain passes for some competetion imp:

J/k

That's a cool idea.......I drive like a grandma though so I wouldn't be any fun

 

RJF, this isn't a sled pulling forum though, it's a Towing forum. I have no desire to see how much smoke I can make, or how far I can drag a sled. I am interested in knowing how well my truck compares to others as far as actually doing what it was designed for.

My thought was not to have a huge party, just a real world comparison. It was just a nutjob idea though.

 

I read the title and thought you meant we'd hook them back to back and see who pulls who. :doah: opcorn: :stir:

 

I like that idea too.

 

A sled is the same idea.

Having 30+ pickups located at a spot at the base of a hill would take forever to compare each member's truck by hooking up to the same trailer, going up the hill, and coming back....just to hook up to the next fellow. I better bring a good...long book.

 

But would it be cheating to load 13 tons of dirt in the dump truck? rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl :doah: opcorn: :stir: :stir: imp:

 

Call it something besides "pull-off".... :doah:

 

hey, a pull off is better than calling it a yank off Yank off just sounds gross
Scott

 

Or a Jerk Off rotfl :stir: rotfl rotfl rotfl

 

Maybe some hot porn stars would show up...... imp:

 

Put the lotion away...this is a diesel thing we are talking about here.

 

Can't handle some light humor? oke:

 

rotfl rotfl rotfl Yeah sure did you not catch the humor in my reply?? :stir:

 

My bet is that if we had some fluffers show up, we'd have a pretty good turnout.
